Housing

[Adipose]

Ya know, from my view, restoring wrecked vanilla houses is just about impossible...at least with my limited talent. As a result, I'm seriously considering using "Scrap Everything" to demolish standing housing and then constructing houses that do a better job of meeting the needs of my settlers. It's really too bad that Bethesda didn't provide a way to restore damaged structures such as "Croup Manor", etc.

There are mods that do that..... :D Homemaker has pre-war houses, but, I don't think they are nav-meshed. Other mods restore some places, but, I think you find them in restored condition.....

HZS has pre-war houses that are navmeshed. I've tried to use them for a player home, but if you put anything in them you can't keep the settlers out. Couches draw Jun Long (sp?) like a magnet.

Yep. Jun, and Preston, are notorious for going places I REALLY don't want them to. Problem is, when the cell loads, the game just kinda randomizes their location, depending on what time it is. And unfortunately, "Your" house is fair game, regardless of what you do.... That's one of the advantages of the Homemaker houses, without NavMeshing. Settlers don't spawn there, and they don't walk in either. :D

 

I have tried all sorts of tricks to keep settlers out of my personal space... nothing worked. The only thing that I have found that is truly effective, is to build someplace where there aren't ANY settlers... and never attract any. THAT has assured my privacy. :D

The Minutemen will eventually get around to cleaning things up. The trick it to take the Castle, connect the radio, and then leave for several game days.

 

Yeah, I'm not that patient either. Make a bat file and run it in the console. This cleans up the nests and eggs:

Absolutely nothing, I just happened to have the answer handy.

 

If you plan on scrapping the Sanctuary houses one thing I've found helpful is to remove them in the CK and regenerate precombines and visibility. Deleting the original houses breaks precombines. Even if you use Jenncave's Clean and Simple mod, which replaces the houses with models with repaired roofs, deleting the newer houses breaks precombines.

 

What I do is go into the CK, load up all my Sanctuary mods, then remove all the houses and generate new precom/vis/previs. That way if you decide to level the place things don't flash in and out of existence.

 

A side effect of this is when you look down from Vault 111 you no longer see the original, vanilla Sanctuary. You see your modded one.
