[]gate). To do so, look for the hazardous material signs. They are located a little out of sight on every buildings. storing/destroying them in workshop mode will remove most of the building they're attached to. only workshop items will stay and they can be scrapped in workshop mode.
known issues :
-
[]the power lift may not work if you load a save where you are already at sanctuary when loading this mod. it has to do with cell reset/refresh.
[
]the frame rate will probably be bellow 60 fps but shouldn't drop too much. it may be worst if you have a massive settlement in red rocket. but from my test on an average pc it's totally playable. You can always scrap part of it if it becomes a problem.Compatibility and load order :
-
[]I'm still new to this so i'm not sure. this mod is using only vanilla items so there shouldn't be many problems.
