📋 About This Mod
Warning!!! This mod CANNOT be used with my Red OMG Rocket mod
Im still here and barely surviving BUT...i managed to finish this baby.
What can i say except that this was quite an undertaking and very risky being the location that it is.
I managed to do this WHOLE area over and still left quests etc. unharmed.
EVERY and i do mean EVERY building has been removed and replaced (not deleted just sunk way down).
ALL of the navmesh HAD to be re-done from scratch since all the old buildings are gone and new ones in their place and MANY more buildings added.
The road was also replaced with a clean version but i also changed it to now "loop" back to the entrance at the bridge.
In doing the new road layout i was presented with even more areas to build thus making it look like a REAL town.
All alleyways are also navmeshed and usable by settlers/npc's .
Now to the stuff you want to hear...
here is what ive done as far as buildings are concerned.
1) "our" home has been replaced with a new brick type dwelling but has the EXACT same layout as the old one.
2) the workshop house (Rosa's) has had the same done to it as our house but with several changes a\s far as animations go.
Example that you will see in the pics is a wrecked car on cinder blocks and that my friends is to keep the idiots from banging on the walls but instead make it like they are working on the car... ;)
3)Whole new riverside area with a small port,fish farm and fish tavern .
4) new player home overlooking the river with a private dock and a terrace with a majestic view.
5) New "trading arena" (thats what im calling it ) where you can set up several trading stalls/stands .
7) Gun shop
8) Big building intended as a hotel or what ever you want to do with it.
9)Church and cemetery
10) Schoolhouse
11) med center
12) Farm with a fruit and veggie stall and home for a farmer
13) security/jail and central guard tower covering the main entrance at the bridge.
14) a bar with a big upstairs terrace and small quarters for the barmaid
15)Twin stores do do as you please (set up like a mini plaza) . The one ive sort of set up as a clothing store with window platforms for showing off your stuff.
16) A PARK!!!
17) 3 very tall guard towers that look very cool at night ( imo ) and h
