📋 About This Mod
VAULT 111 EXTERIOR SETTLEMENT
This MOD was cleaned with FO4Edit
This release contains 1 external settlement at Vault 111 Exterior location in the Fallout 4. It is a vanilla player settlement site, meaning there is no need for other MOD's or any of the DLC's. There should be no mismatch with other MOD's, apart from those that also affect the same area of course.
I also highly recommend using some of the wonderful building MOD's, like Homemaker e.g. I do so myself.
VAULT 111 EXTERIOR SETTLEMENT
Vault 111 Exterior Settlement, (Vault111ExtSettlement.esp / Vault111ExtSettlement.esl),
What can I say, this was requested, more than once, latest being Basil44, (sorry to those I forgot,) and so I made it. You take the elevator out from Vault 111, and you have arrived at this settlement!
This settlement was designed to work well with very nice nearby Emerald Necklace settlement made by Deku78.
This is NOT a game save nor a settlement blueprint!
Installing this mod couldn't be any simpler: just copy the *.esp file from where you unzipped it into your Fallout4/Data -folder or use MOD Manager if you have one! Use only one version, either esp or esl.
This MOD is totally vanilla, so only Fallout 4 is needed. As of now, this MOD works fine on my PC, but I have not tested it on other PC's. This means that you might find bugs. Please inform me of those, and I'll do my best to fix them!
NOTICE: I hate making borders, so this External Settlement doesn't have them. If this is a deal breaker for you, then maybe you want to make these borders? However, this settlement is very well, and nearly totally, defined by the chain fence surrounding it.
Cautionary Mention: Most of the builds seen in pictures are only examples, they do not exists in MOD!
Happy gaming!
