📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
You can recruit the members of the Atom Cats as settlers and optionally turns the "Atom Cat territory" (the whole area actually) into a settlement after you become an Atom Cat.
Comes in three standalone versions:
1. Basic: the only feature it has is that it makes the Atom Cats assignable and commandable in Workshop Mode. Useful only if you already have a mod that turns the garage into a settlement (so you already have Workshop Mode).
2. Plus: it contains the Basic version (makes the Atom Cats assignable) and also turns the Atom Cats' area into a "full settlement". Enables Workshop Mode (build zone), adds Supply Line support, you can send there settlers/companions, "Atom Cats Garage" shows up in your Pip-Boy's Workshop list.
3. Ultimate: contains everything from the Basic and Plus versions (assignable members and full settlement). Its ultimate feature however, is the "full scrap mode" which makes everything scrappable (e.g., roads, the Red Rocket station, debris, etc.) so it extends the number and type of objects that can be scrapped in the area (no longer being limited to the vanilla scrap lists). This feature is similar to the one in my Flourishing Salem Overhaul mod.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 406 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Adds a new settlement option for players who want to expand their settlements.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Turning the area into a settlement might conflict with other mods that alter the same location.
- Limited scope—only affects the Atom Cats, so it's not for players seeking broad settlement overhauls.
For Fallout 4 players who love the Atom Cats and want to recruit them as settlers or turn their garage into a player settlement. Also great for role-players who want to build a raider-style base. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes or if you don't care about the Atom Cats.
