no suggestions ?

 

Theres so many buildings on the nexus to look through but I dont wanna get any lame ones

 

I asked because I want there to be more to do in the wasteland but i do not want any buildings conflicting

 

Maybe you should check out the DC Interiors mods. They're great, add a lot of content and I've never had an issue with the ones I've used. :thumbsup:

My first suggestion is chucksteel's DCInteriors Project. It takes many boarded-up buildings in the DC Ruins (and now out in the Wasteland) and adds doors and interiors. The interiors are well-designed, make sense for the buildings, and each one has stories to tell. Make sure to get the Collectibles plugin on the downloads page too--fun stuff. ;)

 

Ripple has something similar for Canterbury Commons with Canterbury Commons Interiors:

 

summel's Busworld adds interiors to non-blown-up buses, subway cars and freight cars all over (and under) DC and the Wasteland, and, with pintocat's Busworld - Better Translation, this feels like the game should always have been like this.

 

To me, these are must-loads, no exceptions. As they only add interior spaces, performance in exterior cells doesn't take a hit.

 

chucksteel has also converted Yevics' Urban Apartment (original version here) to be compatible with DCInteriors, if you always wanted a cozy little player house in easy shooting range of supermutants (though the house itself is safe enough, it really is a rough neighborhood).

 

While not cities per se, there are a couple map-altering mods I can think of that are pretty good. The first is The Secret of the Mole Rat Maze, by Anarion9. It adds a manhole not far from Megaton that leads into a well-thought-out dungeon that is fun and puts those rad meds to good use. It's also got a custom-voiced NPC and more mole rats than you can shake a stick at--though that is always a good use for a stick, if you catch my meaning.

 

eldiab's Fort Freeway is a good exterior mod that commandeers an overpass just north of the Ruins. It's pretty cool, and makes a nice player house alternative. Plus you can shoot raiders from the roof!

 

shveet's Expanding Megaton Mod (EMM) and Expanding Megaton Outskirts Mod (EMOM) add to Megaton, inside and out, while DC Naval Yards by jcdenton does a similar thing for Rivet City's exterior. Both are fairly resource-intensive, and, while atmospheric, they are also incomplete (most new buildings in EMM and EMOM cannot be entered, for instance). Well worth the download, though.

 

There are a number of mods that try to expand settlements like Arefu, Canterbury Commons and Big Town, but be careful as most of them will probably be mutually-exclusive (meaning they will conflict). Azar's Arefu Expanded is worth a try (as is its sequel, The Crimson Caravan), and while I haven't used it in a game myself yet, I hear a lot of good things about BadPenney's Return to Shady Sands, which actually does add a town and a number of quests inspired by previous Fallouts.

 

With luck, that should be a good start for you. Happy hunting!
