📋 About This Mod
~~~Changes~~~
Version 4. 3:
Updated for NextGen. Recompiled the scripts and repacked into a new ba2 archive.
Video of me testing it in a NextGen game, plus testing:
Wallmageddon update
Whisper's Extra Pieces and Snaps update
Whisper's Institute Build Kit update
Also some mumblings about why Clean My Settlement REDUX will be the LAST thing that I update (because it will probably burn me out)

Version 4. 2:
removing lights is now a toggle option, like trees
no longer removes Arlen's desk/computer at The Slog
no longer removes the doors/gates at Covenant if the UFO4P is installed
Version 4. 0:
changed holotape menu options around
strips some more stuff
option to strip everything away (even beds and workbenches - nothing left!)
clears away many lights once the source is removed
Version 3. 9:
With many thanks to msalaba and kinggath and Arthmoor + several people in the Armored Reptile Gaming discord for their advice re XBox limits:
improved cleanup script
fixed caps stash issue (you now get those caps)
limits to the settlement budget expansion for both PC and XBox (shows advised maximums)
added integration for the upcoming Clean My Settlement Redux mod (not yet released)
settlement budget is now set to 10% of maximum after Razing everything (more in line with scrapping things manually)
Thanks to Mimiyikan:
Fixed 5 items which were deleted during the gather phase rather than the raze phase
~~~Basic Info~~~
After I-don't-know-how-many scrappings and re-scrappings of settlements in various games, I started a new game. Got into Sanctuary - spoke with Codsworth and did the beginning quest in the area - it came to the point of scrapping down Sanctuary to make a home for the Sole Survivor, and eventually a settlement.
That's when I realized: I cannot bring myself to scrap another settlement again. Ever.
Yes, there are mods with pre-scrapped settlements and resources ready to go, etc. I didn't want those. Yes, you can use Transfer Settlements and Sim Settlements: Rise of the Commonwealth. However: I don't have many Transfer Settlements plans that I'm entirely happy with, and I want to learn (and play) with building my own vision of the Commonwealth.
So: I made a holotape that will strip your settlement to the bone within a couple of minutes, depending upon the power of your gaming rig. You don't need Transfer Settlements. You don't need Sim Settlements: Rise of the Commonwealth. One click and it gets wiped away automatically.

- Simple to use: just pop the holotape and hit the button.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make a save before using the holotape—there's no undo for a full settlement scrap.
- If you're using mods that add custom objects, test on a spare settlement first to see if they get removed.
- The holotape is likely found in your inventory or a crafting station—check your Pip-Boy under Holotapes.
