Fallout 4 Revisited - Sanctuary - Safe Haven
The third installment of mods coming to bring a unique and new experience to the wasteland.Sanctuary is one of the first real settlements you find on your journey, one that goes on to be the launching point of the Minutemen's chief strategist. This mod aims at bringing a new environment to Sanctuary with custom made walls that surround the town, overgrown and rundown the town still has a few key locations to turn the war for safe land with the coming tides of enemies. Work with your settlers to reclaim and make Sanctuary thrive again.
I have created this new series to bring to life a city that did not grab me when I first started playing. Sanctuary was one of the first locations I left behind, only occasionally returning to use the workshop for creating weapons and armor and then leaving. I always hated coming back to search for Preston, who was the acting leader of one of the 3 main groups in the commonwealth, but was usually found sitting in a ruined home on a couch. I decided to change the way the game could be played at this location with a new custom made wall system and a recreation of the general atmosphere of the area. This all comes as a prep to the extremely difficult mod to come, one made to turn the commonwealth into a deadly hunt. This series will continue to try to recreate locations for the coming war! Stay tuned.
