📋 About This Mod
This is my Fairline Hills Settlement mod. There are many Fairline Hills Settlement mods like it, but this one is mine.
I found various issues with the various other variants of this settlement, and tried making one without any of them. In the process, I found out why it's so difficult.
After much trial and error, it finally works for me. I now hope it works for you, too.
Important:
There was a serious bug with the Inside Jobs patch prior to version 2. 0. 2. The workshop inside the bunker added by Inside Jobs would also recieve a WorkshopID and interfere with the settlement.There is now a workaround patch in the FOMOD installer, which attempts to disconnect the two workbenches from each other, and to reassign any settlers to the proper Fairline Hills. That last part might not work reliably, however. If a settler is misbehaving, attempt to send them to Fairline Hills again.
mods must always be loaded after anything else which affects the same location!
Features
-
[]Fully functional settlement at Fairline Hills Estates.
[
]Building area free of dead zones or respawning items.[]Accurate building area border
[]Cleaned in xEdit: all changes are restricted to the 6 relevant cells, no deleted vanilla refs, no ITM records.
[]Loosened most objects from the precombs. This doesn't make all of them scrappable right away, though, to truly scrap everything you would need a scrapping mod, or Place Everywhere. See also "General Infos and Warnings" below.
[]Linked the existing workbenches to the workshop
[]Several objects were linked for easier scrapping. A lot of bushes were linked to trees. However, some stuff might still be unscrappable. I recommend using a scrapping mod.
[]Scrappable objects were given proper navmesh precuts
[]The houses were navmeshed as workshop objects and made scrappable.
[]Made the wires disappear, if certain objects are scrapped. This isn't perfect... See "General Infos and Warnings" below.
