nice ill give those a try thx man

Wow thanks man! This is perfect I was not expecting this issue to be this straight foreward, I guess I just assumed if it was possible to do someone would have done it already if I do manage to get this to work ill post it here so yall can check it out, im planning on starting with the red rocket. Thanks again for the information folks.

Thank you for the responses folks I appreciate the community chiming in to give me information, ill look into these chest mods and see how they did it, I want to keep all vanilla swappable items I just want to get rid of immovable trash piles without the drawbacks scrap everything. It seems most mods tackle the trash issue with a flamethrower, I dont need to get rid of the whole red rocket just all the squished cans and loose bricks ya know. And if I could make it safe for precombines in the process its a win. I have seen similar mods like clean and simple but I believe the author had mentioned they did it by breaking the precombines themselves. So I have a suspicion I dont fully understand how they work, thanks again for the responses gentlemen.

So I have a rough understanding of how precombines work and have seen people say things like "open up a settlement in the creation kit and edit all the trash out manually and reload combines" or something like that, could I take all the trash in settlements and remove them from the general precombines and tie them only to eachother. Then say add a broom to each settlement by the workbench, activate it and remove all the trash at once. Keeps the vanilla flavor by not having random clean ass patches of wasteland, good for immersion. And allows you to realistically clean up settlements and it would be totally safe for precombines.....I think, but if i was that easy someone would probably have done it already right. is my understanding of precombines incorrect? Keep in mind I am not a modder and would basically teach myself the creation kit just to make this.

There's only three game franchises I've spent any deal of time playing, about 4,000 hours of the sims 4, 6,000 of skyrim and 3,000 roughly in various fallouts. Building is my favorite part of a game and I've been playing around with settlement mods since 4 came out, however I have a hard time getting a good list of mods that will all work in unison without any overrides or invisible items in the build menu. Who has a working game of fallout nodded to the glowing sea and back with settlement mods, just furniture and buildings etc. I have no need for settlement management mods, extended borders, scapping mods etc I have all of those I want to use. I. Just need someone to give me a list of their build mode mods that all work well together and still give tons and tons of options. I've been trying to get a load order working for weeks have had to install the game over and over again to fix it. Why flounder around in the dark when im sure someone else has already fixed the problem, right. Anyway thanks for replying if you can and I'd love to just chat about settlement building, as a sims player i can say good f*#@in God did they poorly optimize the build menu for pc players i love these games but all their games are so console user based. But once you have place everywhere and scap everything you can make some cool ass stuff man. precombines be damned lol

i figured it out, sorry now i feel dumb

making a merge patch to make some different armor mods with leveled lists play nice worked last week and now with a fresh install of FO4 the same process dosent really work anymore not sure what i did same process as before, filter the mods (picture attached) then create a merge patch. but instead of getting what i usually get it says "the master list contains 253 entries and is full" and then the esp it makes doesn't have anything in its tree when i hit the plus sign usually there's a bunch of stuff and i need to delete most of them besides the leveled lists. this is only my second time making one of these so i'm not sure what to do. any help is appreciated thanks in advance for wasting your time to help me with what is most likely incompetence. i couldn't find any information online about this.
