Workshop mods recommendations

[Erierth]

Hi there!

I'm looking for workshop mods that adds only vanilla objects (stuff already inside the game + DLCs) to the workshop menu. Well, at least with more than 50% of the objects made by using vanilla assets.

I have nothing against mods that adds totally new workshop objects. I just want to focus on building on those settlements again with assets already given by the game.

If are there mods like this, please let me know.

 

Thanks for the attention.

Well i have a couple of mods like that.

But i think Homemaker answers the mail for you best.

All sorts of Vanilla objects from the game that you (usaully) cant build, but now you can:

But I also found these wooden extra shacks real useful:

And these buildable cabins not only look attractive but unlike many other FO4 dwellings look like they might be good shelter in a Massachusetts winter:

PS: And this has been a real lifesaver, has been a backup for some key settlement tabs that the game sometimes loses for no discernible reason:

(And it also introduces more build options like you asked about), I couldnt manage my 30 settlements without it.

If you're into vault building, my vault pieces mod might be of interest to you.

A lot of it is new, as in, they don't exist already in that particular form, but close to 100% where made by using vanilla assets. (& made to fit with & look like the rest of it)

If you have the ambush pack from Creation Club this one is choice: Snappable Junk Fences at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)

This Settlement Objects Expansion Pack at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) is a huge one that is mostly existing or modified vanilla objects, but due to its size it can often overlap with more specialized mods that handle the assets better.

Border Junk at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) doesnt look like much but its one of the few mods with decent diagonal supports. 

A handi-boi Settlement Repair Bot at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)

The peices with slopes in G2M - Workshop at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) are surprisingly useful.

The turrets included in Machineguns Rebirth at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) are some of my favorites, and is the main reason I kept that mod in my load order when I was on the fence.
Im currently testing a bunch of others but these are the ones I think I can wholeheartedly recommend (the exception being SOE, which I am still on the fence about, but I included it because it likely can take care of most of your needs/ and the robot, which I included because he amuses me).

Some good mods has already been mentioned but here is a few more. I've made Settlement Menu Manager (SMM) patches for these mods, if you're interested.

 

• This is MY Bed - So the annoying settlers don't sleep in your bed.
• You Can Crash on the Couch - So the annoying settlers can sleep on the couch instead of in your bed.
• Working Vending Machines - So you can actually use those vending machines instead of them just being decorations.
• More Fortifications - These are just for looks though.
• Old World Plaids - Some retextures of vanilla furniture. These are standalone.
• Vendor Variety and Guard Furniture - More variety is nice.
• Craftable Greebles - Makes vanilla, Mechanist, and Far Harbor greebles craftable.
• Ethreon's mods is also recommended - I have made SMM patches for 11 of them.

 

I've made SMM patches for more mods than this though. Too many to list here.
