📋 About This Mod
Vault 57 by RowanSkie
This new Player Settlement adds in Vault 57 in the Commonwealth! Found southwest of Thicket Excavations and just a few walks away from Concord, this interior settlement is my first ever Creation Kit project made entirely that isn't a patch or a mod.

[]Fallout 1/2-styled Vault Gear Door, complete with interactive consoles. (the script is modified with thanks to A Random Shrub)
[
]Three medium-sized build areas, for each part of the vault you want to separate.[]The Minutemen can elect to get you to enter this Vault.
[]Texture files for 6 variants of the good old fallout shelter sign created by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
To start, you need to head down to Thicket Exvacations, and between that place and Concord will be a simple concrete building with fallout shelter posters. Go through the small cave, and activate the control console. Be ready to fight three raiders who decided to hole themselves in the airlock to prevent people from going in further.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (11,840 downloads, 129 endorsements) shows players are actually using it.
- New buildable vault interior gives settlement enthusiasts a fresh canvas to work with.
- Author RowanSkie has a track record, so you know the quality is likely decent.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 129 endorsements means it's not a mainstream must-have—might have some rough edges.
- Last updated in December 2023, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or mods.
- As an interior settlement, it could conflict with other mods that alter the same area or add similar vault builds.
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who want a new, unique interior space to decorate and call home. If you're tired of the same old settlements and want a vault-themed build area, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or combat content—this is purely a building mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC if you want to use vault-themed building pieces, though the mod itself may not require it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- When building, use the workshop mode to place items and ensure you have enough resources for your construction.
