Other details
All items are navmeshed and NPC friendly. All items have correct collision, including functionality for doorways All models are custom made, and the majority of textures are custom. They will snap to other vanilla elements such as wood, metal or barns. The mod is not needed if you are already using VE, as it is fully integrated with that mod.

Future plans
Add a secondary barn set similar to the DLC one.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No DLC required – works for everyone, even if you're missing the season pass.
- Decent community traction: 290 endorsements and over 5,800 downloads show it's been used.
- Adds a functional barn set, not just cosmetic pieces – you can actually use it for storage or crafting.
- Integrates into vanilla menus, so no extra menu clutter or weird tabs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 – might have compatibility issues with newer game patches or mods.

- Potential conflicts with other mods that edit the same vanilla menu entries.
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who want a simple, DLC-free barn set to add functional structures to their settlements. If you're a modder looking for a comprehensive building pack, this is too narrow – but if you just need barns, it's perfect.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a settlement mod, make sure you have the Local Leader perk to build barns in settlements.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, install it there to keep your load order clean.
- Check for compatibility with other settlement mods that add buildable items – they might conflict.
