📋 About This Mod
Simply unlocks the build items so you can build in your settlements - without having to be so far advanced in the Quests of the Game.
Great for building just to have set pieces placed - especially if you are just building settlement - or want some functionality like the caravans.
I did this so I can build for my City Plans, Transfer Blueprints, Clipboard, etc. files.
The game does not provide a scrap profile for the Institute items so once built, you cannot scrap, but you can store.
For my settlements, I wanted the powered and lit radar dish for my communications/trade hubs for muh immersion.
Hope you enjoy!
V2. 0 - Adds Mama Murphy's Chair
V3. 0 - Vault-Tec Workshop Req'd - Adds the Power Cycle, the Phoropter, the Soda Fountain, and the Slot Machine. PLUS both versions of the Overseer Desk - the empty version and the version with the terminal. (Note: Terminal works - but won't display information till you actually do the Vault Overseer Quests - locked behind scripts) I also renamed this ESL tagged ESP - so you can leave the previous V2. 0 loaded and install this file right below it in the load order so you don't get the missing mod warning - if it freaks you out - which is not a problem.

Unlocks vanilla quest-locked build items in Fallout 4, including Artillery, Institute Beam Emitters, and the Traders Caravan, plus Mama's Chair (v2.0). All items are added to the SPECIAL build menu to avoid conflicts with other settlement mods. A small, focused utility for builders who want these items without quest progression.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No quest grinding needed to get these build items—just install and build.
- SPECIAL menu placement means it plays nice with other settlement mods.
- Decent community trust with 152 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 updates or DLC.
- Only unlocks a handful of items—if you wanted more quest-locked stuff, this won't cover it.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the SPECIAL build menu or those that also unlock these items.
For settlement builders who want to place Artillery, Institute Beam Emitters, or the Traders Caravan without completing the associated quests. Also handy for roleplayers who want Mama's Chair early. Skip if you're fine with quest progression or use a larger settlement mod that already unlocks these.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the necessary DLC (like Contraptions or Far Harbor) if the items require them, though the mod doesn't list dependencies.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or NMM to install and manage load order easily.
- If you're on PC, consider using the console command 'help artillery 4' to verify the items are added correctly.
