Love the mod, but sadly using too many fences/barricades causes immense stutter for me ingame. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good places to build that already have fences/barricades on location?

Ones I know about and have general issues with:

- Hidden Valley, works but it generally requires me to be pretty far long to deal with the BoS as I like their shiny armor.
- Sharecroppers, too many NPC for me to want to have around.
- Primm, technically might work, didn't think about it until I was typing this up.
- Nipton, too many fires. Causes me some issues as well. =<


All suggestions will be appreciated. ^.^

Jess stay away from Primm a lot of clutter and junk slows a computer down... but it is a good spot


if you go south of primm, is a good spot, the dry lake, across the street from the highway patrol station.

You can back your fort up against the mountains (use them as a natural wall) also gives you a height advantage with your snipers.

If you go all the way to the Southern end of the map there's a canyon running east-west. If you build on the edge of the canyon, you've got a sheer drop protecting your rear and from the front you're high up with a couple of choke points between boulders too high for anything to climb. The only drawback is that you end up with a long, narrow buildable area, so unless you have good barricades you might end up only being able to protect one end of it yourself.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll have to give them all a try. And as an update, I found an excellent spot for anyone with problems like me. The playground near "The Thorn" in westside is an excellent location. If you place your buildings correctly there is only one opening on the back side which can be covered with guards and gates, :3

A good plan for building a fort is, you wanna start off with having a few fiend raids, and gather some materials, walls, gates, etc. off the materials you gather. Then, get a few AR guards and stuff, and continue the fiend raids. After a while u should have a fair amount of patrols, items, and other types of guards. You then want to make sure you got yourself an armory. Afterwards, you start raids with the brotherhood of steel outcasts, and then, u are able to loot their bodies, and retrieve the power armor, and give them to your guards and patrols. Have fun with that tip :P.

There are 2 ways to creat a strong Enclave fort
1st way: Get the mod cheat terminal then just get the armor and weps.
2nd: Find the enclave remant armor then fallout new vegas cheat terminal and duplicate it and done!
U have a Enclave fort!!
