A good clean up mod, and Sanctuary mod.

[SirTwist]

I would like to see if it possible, and request an in general clean up mod for all settlements. It can be already set up in the game, or as each settlement is opened up, and the settlers clean all the stuff things like Scrap Everything, Spring Cleaning, things like that. The only thing they don't touch is houses/buildings that are already there, roads, things like that. an option would be to have the rebuild project added in, for the settlers to rebuild places that are set up for settlements. I am thinking more of an installer that would see what mods you have, ask some questions, then set up scripts, etc. The Sanctuary mod I am thinking of would fit in to this, probably even before then. when you first come out of the vault, find Sanctuary, and interact with Codsworth the first time. After the killing of the bloat flies, and rad roaches, there will be a dialogue, if you open the workshop before you continue on, that will state that he will stick around Sanctuary, and do some clean up, and fix up some things. Or he will do so when you come back, then open up the workshop. He's not assigned to anything, just doing things while idle. This could be for any, and all, companions you send to any settlement, and they just fix up some things for you.However, the one thing that peeves me is that even after 200 years, Sanctuary roofs, at the least, look like junk. I think that with the materials around, Codsowrth could have cleaned up somethings. The roofs could be fixed up, at the least. Not back to pre-war specs, but perhaps something better than what is vanilla. This is probably going to take a good number of mods to work, scripting, and a few other things. Getting the Sanctuary roofs all back to ship shape is key, as well as the cleaning of the settlements. Hedges, trees, etc. should be cleared out. And the surrounding area around settlements should be cleared too. I am not talking miles from the settlement, just a few hundred feet outside the vanilla border of the settlement. Clear everything so that you can have clear fields of fire, things like that.

I hope you will find a modder to fulfill yout request :)

 

Until then, try to have a look at the creation kit if you play fo4 on pc. Cleaning up areas in the ck and (re)building stuff nearly works the same way as the ingame workshop.

 

You don't need any specific modding or programming skills, just install the ck, select the area you want to clean up, delete objects and save. That's it.

Well, I am trying out a few mods I found on the Ultimate Fallout 4 Mod list. A few things I won't be using from the list, as I don't care for them. However, I think that settlers who aren't assigned to either food, guard, scavenging, or supply routes could, effectively, be up for say cleaning around the settlement, things like that. Make it a station, perhaps, then you can come along, pick up the results. The other job of the station/settler would be to, basically, clear trees, things like that from the area around wooded settlements for a myriad reasons. I would like the trees, cars, things like that cleared away, and recycled so that they can be used for other things. Trees could give wood, the cars many things, including even a smidgen of nuclear material. As well as things like fertilizer from bushes, shrubs, things like that, and even a bit of wood. Inside the settlement, they can turn over, and remove radioactive dirt, put up some nice looking plants, things like that. A general improvement of the settlement. I would prefer if be something added to the game, rather than trying to go through everywhere, and remove it all. This could add a smidgen of happiness, if the settlers are seeing the improvements of the settlement. You still have to provide say yourself, plant food, remove what needs to be, make the stores, a bit of everything else you need to do in a settlement. They would add to it. I know this is a lot for some people, but I think it would be okay for a mod.

Agreed, more intelligent and more usefull and immersive settlers would be nice. But this needs a new and extended AI, this is not the way the (mod)engine works.

Even if possible, the effort would be huge and the outcome is very limited as cleaned up and altered settlements are already available.

 

What i am doing with the creation kit is cleaning up the roads between the settlements. Bit by bit i remove rubble, trees cars and even enemy spawn areas, add small bridges and more outposts to secure the area.
