PoppaSmirk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Okay, I went through 16 pages of MOD requests to see if anyone had previously mentioned the same material. I saw some generic requests that fall into the same sort of thought but nothing specific, so here goes my ideas. When rebuilding a settlement and this is aimed mostly at Sanctuary Hills; there are a lot of ...hammering and fixing animations for the original group to be keeping themselves occupied (okay, I admit, its mostly Sturges, but the others get into the act from time to time too). But..nothing really happens in the way of home improvement. Now I know there are mods out already to provide a bit of an.."Insta-Fix' to many of the buildings in Sanctuary Hills but I personally would have loved to patch those holes myself. For the windows, could a mod be made to let the player 'frame' a window and add shutters? I don't know about the rest of you but when a rad-storm hits, and I am inside, I want the windows and doors shut !!! Also since many of the holes in the walls are of a fairly consistent size, can the mod have a way for the player to patch those? Seems to be a simple ..select the proper shape... sort of thing. I'm guessing 3-4 shape options in this category (in 2-3 categories per shape. One would be a wooden fix, one would be a metal fix, and one would be like a drywall sort of masonry patch); so a total of maybe twelve different home remedy patches to satisfy all tastes would fix most of the holes in the walls and make it seem very immersive as part of a repair plan for turning Sanctuary hills into a proper settlement. But the shutters, yes definitely, I would love to see a MOD that creates shutters to be added. Best of all worlds would be shutters with an option to be closed or opened on sunny days. I would think creating shutters would be a primary first step...waaaay ahead of the option to put in glass windows. Also, I would like to see Butter churns. We can have brahmin, we can conceivably have brahmin milk, so why not see some butter churns around a settlement? Next, I have seen a few but I think it should be part of a basic settlement ideas package. GUNRACKS! Since nearly everybody carries some form of gun weapon, its only logical that a settler would feel peace of mind only when they could sleep with their gun close to grab. A Gunrack above each bed should be the standard for "fine living"...lol Finally, outhouses. The primitive backwater solution to a lack of indoor plumbing. The noble (and stiinky) OUTHOUSE! I think I have seen one while wandering through Fallout 4 and I thought, yep.... surprised I don't see more of these. But honestly. no civilised settlement should be without an outhouse if they lack sewer capabilities. I hope that all reading this can find support for these ideas. Thanks for reading :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoliteRaider Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Also since many of the holes in the walls are of a fairly consistent size, can the mod have a way for the player to patch those? Have a look at Window Floor and Roof Boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppaSmirk Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hey ! That's right along the idea I was envisioning, although I was hoping for more of a "Make the Settlement more of a homestead look" rather than "buttoning the houses up to bring them up to Crack Junkie Building Codes standards :), but yeah....that is the sort of patch work repairs I was hoping for, although I was hoping for something slightly more , elegant...lol.
