Editing the Diamond City skyline

[adb3nj]

If you noclip from inside Diamond City through the exterior wall, you get a very approximate recreation of the Commonwealth. Is it possible to edit this? Only a few parts of it are visible when you load a Diamond City cell in Creation Kit, and it doesn't generate any reference IDs in the game, so I don't know what I should be looking for.

I assume it's based on the LOD data of the Commonwealth. Check the Worldspace tab for the DC world and maybe there are some clues

Yes.

DC has exterior LOD.

 

It's possible to "edit" it:

 

- Use a LOD Clip volume to hide the LOD, if necessary. But oftentimes, you can simply paste stuff over the LOD.

- Alternatively, remove LOD meshes from stuff you don't want to see in the LOD and then regenerate it using xLODGen or CK. But this is not good for compatibility.

- Finally, put "real" buildings/structures there (copy them from the Commonwealth Worldspace or whatever)

 

I've done this very extensively with Goodneighbor, to spice up the near field LOD.

 

Btw, if you want to see LOD inside the CK, you can activate it in the Render Properties window.
