📋 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
