📋 About This Mod

:: SWITCHBOARD SETTLEMENT ::

Original file by RockJB, this mod clears out most trash and items from Switchboard and turns it into a settlement.

I changed a bit of things around, undeleted and disabled all deleted references and recreated the navmesh.

:: REQUIREMENTS ::

• Fallout4.esm

!! ONLY INSTALL THIS AFTER COMPLETING TRADECRAFT !!

You need to not have precombined objects disabled in your Fallout4 ini files:

Set these in your Fallout4Custom.ini:

bUseCombinedObjects = 1

bPreCulledObjectsEnabled = 1

:: GENERAL ::

As always, I made this for myself and it's built according to my preferences (hence some stuff around the interiors are left untouched).

- I've not tested if it works as a raider settlement.

- Remade the Switchboard navmesh for most efficient building

- I added showers and made the restrooms a lot nicer. Use your workshop mods to add toilet seats and working sinks

- Swapped some walls and colours around to make the place more A-E-S-T-H-E-T-I-C

- Rebuilt the precombined geometry

- If you have leftover NPC corpses, turrets, etc. around and want to clean them up, select them in the console and write "disable"

(if you accidentally disabled a wrong thing like a mist blob, just write enable to bring them back)

- You can Fast Travel in and out of the Switchboard. There is a mapmarker.

- Enemies will spawn at the pipes' location downstairs

Choose between two versions:

- Semi-clean. Some leftover debris, consoles and shelves I left to give it a not pristine, more lore-friendly, yet "settlers worked to make this place tidy" feel

- Totally clean. Removes absolutely all furniture, computers, clutter, debris, papers from the floor and even some dirt decals

:: KNOWN ISSUES ::

- Supply lines work but they don't show up on the supply chain map
