📋 About This Mod
A long time ago I installed both DarthWayne's Snappable Junk Fences and vigge42's No More Gaps Under Junk Fences, and for years played the game without ever thinking much more about it. Then the other day I noticed I was unsatisfied with some minor details of the results and decided to dig into it, and that was when I realized the two mods did not work together at all. Snappable Junk Fences completely overwrites the changes made by No More Gaps Under Junk Fences, and due to how the first mod works, there was no way to make them work together, as they both changed the same mesh files. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and make them work together.
With permission, I opened up vigge42's modified vanilla meshes and began applying snap points to them, using DarthWayne's mod as a template, and then making adjustments as needed, and adding a few more snap points I considered to be logical. There are two main files, you should choose only one (tho it won't really matter if you do install them both). The first is simply a loose files vanilla mesh replacer with no plugin. The second contains a BA2 archive and eslified plugin that builds upon the functionality begun by DarthWayne - this version includes the spikes, and adds a defense rating to all the fence pieces (inspired by PallidaCulus' mod Build With Purpose).
COMPATABILTY:
Any mod that modifies the junk fence pieces will be incompatible, load this after any other mod that affects them to ensure this mod works.Both Snappable Junk Fences and JunkWalls_More_Snaps are especially incompatible as they both use plugins that change the file path the game searches to load the meshes for the junk fence pieces.
Grumpy's Better Junk Fences enhances the junk fence build set in Fallout 4 by adding multiple snap points and a lower-sinking mesh, making it easier to align fences and integrate them into terrain. With 205 endorsements and over 108k downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life improvement for settlement builders.
