Mac's house build at Sanctuary Hot Springs

Recommended Posts

I finally put together a proper house showing. Hope you folks like it. First thing.... This wouldn't be possible at all if it were not for all the talented people who mod the game and share their work. THANKS SO MUCH!! :yes: Secondly, I do not plan on releasing this as a player home, simply because there are far too many mods involved and permissions required.

 

The house itself is built above the SHS bunker, and it is not connected to it from the main house. The structure is two floors, with a greenhouse and a fishing pier. These pics were taken as I went along, some things have been changed as I installed or updated mods. Feel free to check out my Flickr pages, to see the full size shots in 1080p.

 

The first batch is from early on. I should point out that I live in the Commonwealth IRL, and Concord is only about a half hour away on the highway. I tried to make the place look only somewhat authentic.

Since these pics were taken, the whole area has been filled in with various trees, plants and groundcovers. The pier was also rebuilt with parts from the G2M mod.

Here's a wide overhead shot from the river, this was just after I built the greenhouse. The pier would stay this way for about 6 months.

And here's the new pier just after I rebuilt it. The old scaffolding and ramp was a pain to navigate in the dark. I kept the original layout and made it wider.

Tail end of a radstorm. The bunker would eventually be used as a radiation shelter. Too bad we couldn't have a geiger counter up on the wall down there so you could come out when it's safe.

thanks for sharing;

that looks awesome!

 

 

 

I am very tempted to want to add something like that as a location in my 'prime' install of FO4.

it'd be great with the weather mods, for an 'ice-skating rink' location too.

 

It looks like a "lakehouse camp", sorta like Camp David meets parts of Tahoe etc.

awesome work.

Thanks for that. More to come, including interior shots. I have to take some new screenies during daytime... home improvements.

Here's the rest of the tour in a couple different posts. I used NAC + PRC for the ENB, with the Ultimate Immersion camera preset.

 

Meeting us at the front entrance. Some of this stuff will get changed. I'm planning on remaking the front door with stained glass and changing out the porch light on the wall to stained glass also.

The greenhouse on the river. The area around it and the house in general will get much more filled out with trees & understory thanks to the Creative Gardens mod.

Moving on, Mac is going to take us through the main house.

 

At the entrance... the terrain around here was very complex, hence the high foundation and stairs up to the various levels.

Just inside you look a little to the left and see the main dining room. Mac, Ellen & MacCready pulled out the nice table settings for this.

The view from the dining room windows isn't so bad. This may change if I can add more trees and underbrush outside.

Off to the right of the doorway is a small reading area.

And when you turn around, you see the house's shop area. Most of the usual work and crafting stations are in here, as well as some storage for weapons, armors and miscellaneous stuff.

Headed out past the stairs is where the kitchen is. There's a small breakfast area that everyone uses when they are not out on the upstairs balcony or the pier. The sunrise & sunsets from out there are not bad at all. The back door to the house is just beyond the computer desk.

Let's see.... the hubby wants lobster for dinner, Ellen wants steak..... means a hunting trip for surf & turf!

Sorry for the mess, I see that someone didn't clean up the stove!

Let's head up the stairs.

 

At the top if you turn right is another reading area, Mac also put the home office in this space as well as a sewing table for all the clothes & dresses she likes. Checking out the view from the upstairs windows... it might change some if I put some trees outside. This is all above the dining room.

If you go through the doorway just to your left there is the main bedroom and aesthetic chairs. Makeup, haircuts... things like that. I keep a supply of medical supplies in here too.

The bedroom is a cozy place for sleeping and getting ready for the day. Since Mac has become the Mayor of Sanctuary, she has found that the residents don't bother coming here. It's a good thing. :laugh:

This little sitting spot in the corner of the house was the very first part that I did interior decorating on. No curtains here so the natural light comes in The view out to the river and pier is really good.

Okay... make sure you stay to the left here as the stairs have a nasty first step. Once we get past them it's where we started up here. Follow me to the left. Out here is my workout room. Lots of natural light in here even though there are some curtains.

If you turn to the left again, you can see the upstairs entrance that leads out to the balcony. Hang on here a sec, I need to check some laundry while I'm here.

The balcony has gone through some changes since I first began. My hubby took this shot of me a couple weeks ago while I took a snooze.

From up here, the view is very nice indeed. I can't see over the hill down into Concord... which is another good thing because there isn't anything for the raiders to be interested in.

Sometimes raiders or other assorted forms of life try to get down to the bridge on that side of the river.

Oh jeez, I can see a deathclaw walking around over there. Let me get out the .50 and see what's up.

So I guess I have to cut this short. Behind me here is the entrance to the old bunker underneath the main house. We use it as a shelter when radstorms blow through. I'll post some pics of inside at another time. Now I need to go get changed out of this dress and go find that deathclaw.
