📋 About This Mod

Put this mod near the bottom of your load order

I liked the way this area looked and caravan traders already regularly visit this location in vanilla, so I thought it would make sense to turn it into a settlement.

Features

  • []Highly Scrappable, nearly everything without the need for outside mods.

    []Regenerated Precombines

    []Custom Borders which perfectly match the build space.

    []Navmesh Precuts so NPCs will recognize that scrapped objects are no longer obstacles.

    []Attack Points beyond the settlement borders from each direction.

    []Full Functionality such as radiant quests, minutemen quests, raider quests, recruitment, provisioners, and so on.

    []Caravan Visits, their default idle location is a spot near the cooking fire.

    Please let me know if you find any bugs and I'll do my best to fix them. And feel free to upload images of your builds!

    FOMOD Menu Installation

    , choose between:
    • []Immersive Unlock (Default), requires you to save Austin during Hole in the Wall to gain the vault's trust.

      []Early Unlock, requires that you complete the short quest that gives you entry to the vault.

      []Instant Unlock, just walk right up to it.

      There's also an option in the FOMOD to reduce the amount of tall grass in the build area.
