📋 About This Mod
Adds craftable Sanctuary-themed Guard Posts to the Workshop menu.
The ugliness of the vanilla guard post has bothered me for quite some time, especially since the first settlement you're likely to build is Sanctuary. With all the crap in those ruined houses, why would someone build wooden guard posts? Why not pull some of the junk out and set up barricades?

== About the Sanctuary Guard Posts ==
You'll find the Sanctuary Guard Posts in the workshop menu listed alongside other guard posts.
During installation you have the option to limit the ability to build the guard posts to only Sanctuary, or to any owned settlement, as well two options for material costs, and three levels of defense.

== Installing ==

Download / install with the NMM direct link.
1) Download and open "SanctuaryGuardPosts.rar"
2) Extract all folders/files from the included "Nifs" folder to your "Fallout 4\data\" folder.
3) Decide how you want your guard posts to work (build cost, defense bonus, and settlement usage) and extract "SanctuaryGuardPost.esp" from the appropriately named folder (i.e. "Normal Cost 2 Defense Any Settlement") to your "Fallout 4\Data\" folder.
4) Add "SanctuaryGuardPost.esp" to your mod load order.
