Possibilities of creating a Fallout 4 settlement mod for Skyrim

[TRONCIARAN]

Hii there Nexus community, this is the first discussion/topic I have made. I was interested and had the idea of creating a mod for Skyrim that allowed you to build your own settlement's and structure's, almost exactly like what is found in Fallout 4, except Skyrim themed. I have no mod creating knowledge what so ever. I was just wondering if making a mod like this is possible, and how difficult it would be, which I already know the thing as a whole would be fairly hard. also when I say build your own settlements and structures, I mean physically manipulating walls, floors, roofs, to entire structures. imagine if you could have fort defences and full-scale invasions. boiling oil, drawbridges, like in eso.

 

ps. if ideas and the concept art for these kinds of things are still drawn on paper, I believe myself to be able to help with things like that.

I'm not sure if this mod is exactly like you want it, because Fallout 4's system is a bit more responsive than Hearthfire, but it sounds neat.

Gonna look into the mod when I get home.

Bit of an older topic, but anyone interested like the topic creator might also try:

 

Tundra Defense: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/22330

Pocket Empire Builder: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30948

 

These two allow raids on the settlement, custom placing of structures, and so forth.

 

Woodcutter: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68597

 

Woodcutter is great for the building of structures piece by piece. If you want to create a building by laying down stone floors, wooden beams, place a roof on it, raise walls, that sort of process - Woodcutter is good for that. It doesn't have raid systems or such though, so you might want to combine it with one of those first two.

 

I'll also second the Blackthorn recommendation, though it lacks a lot of features asked about. I love Blackthorn, don't get me wrong. Sadly though, it's basically just the Hearthfire building process expanded to a town level. You get pre-programmed buildings with pre-set options. Still, combine with it the others listed here and it'll be amazing. There are also a couple of player homes and village expansion mods that are situated nearby that you could try to add some more atmosphere.
