How do I add a workshop?

[audiodef]

I'm thinking of making a mod to add a settlement workshop to Eddie Winter's hideout. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to add a workshop to the game using the CK?

OMG SKK thank you! This was much better than going through, and trying to find a certain point in videos. Nice job on the quick reference guide!

 

[edit] Is there any chance of you going a little bit into what makes trade routes, pip-boy list, and companion home availability work? For the life of me I can't figure out why mine isn't letting those things work. Everything else works just fine.

Thank you for the awesome guide!

@daroule1982 your symptoms suggest the workshopparent registration quest is not running.

Make sure you are running the esp in a clean savegame that has never seen the mod before as the quest/script runonce will conflict with older versions.

EDIT aha there is a missing quest alias step (post updated):

 

Quest Aliases add Location Alias: PREFIX_SettlementNameLocation
Specific Location: PREFIX_SettlementNameLocation

Thanks very much SKK50. I will check it out later today. Going to take a break for a little while, so far as to keep my sanity. Nearly a month working on CIT, and still haven't gotten the trade routes up.

 

[edit[

 

Yep... I had to jump right in and double check everything, but everything popped up just green and lovely according to fo4edit, and the ck editor logs....

 

I think it's just because it is a congested area. I may have to merge the settlement with the location using kit gloves. I was trying so hard not to do that, but I guess we all have to make that crossroads decision at one time or another. Damnit. LoL. Thanks for the swift reply, however.

Hi all,

 

I need a little help
I would like make a unique workbench I already done with the datas
but if I change the original workbench model what I created then disappear from the build menu
I tried add from the default icons set then the icon is visible but the workbench green siluette dosn't showing I can place it but it's invisible and useless
If I didn't change the model it's works well

any other item works well the change
I searched on the internet tutorial for this issue but just a few tutorials talk about for the Creation Kit and I didn't find solution

I would like something like these:

Scripts Button

Add script WorkshopAddLocationsScript

Set WorkshopParent property

Set WorkshopsCollection property

Add script DefaultQuestShutdownScript

Set StartTimerStage to 20

 

(17) Enjoy !

 

 

Thank you. I can't find the "WorkshopAddLocationsScript". I clicked add, then typed *work* into the field and can't find it there.

You need to close and reopen the quest and only then you can apply it
