Does anyone have any suggestions for a player home mod?

[Kingderpy101]

I want to make a player home mod and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for where it should be/what theme it should have. At the moment I'm thinking of adding a second home in Diamond city but I'm sure other people would have better ideas.

If you're starting out,

adding an interior to somewhere in Diamond City is a great place to tinker with

 

it depends

are you wanting to make a 'new lands -> new interior/exterior cells"

or, a proper settlement node on the Boston Map,

or, a 'para-settlement' via place-anywhere etc?

 

do you want your settlement to be mobile / a Companion-Settlement?

 

 

 

you can put an AB-pairwise doorportal practically wherever with place anywhere,

then make that count as a para-settlement - the kinda settlement that PrestonGarvey doesnt know about.

you'll never be sent to it, because its not on the 'list'.

 

though conversely, if you want Preston Garvey to know about it,

you can build your settlement other ways.

-------

 

You can make your location 'surrealistic' like BlahblahDEEblahblah's "Sketchland",

or the humorous "Escher's-ville"

you can make your location 'faction-themed' (like Mesa Verdean, BoS, Neutral, Institute, Enclave, Raider, some other faction...)

you can make your location only accessible via a bound-item,

you can do whimsical stuff like have a monorail thanks to Cypher2012 and Wasteland Contraptions etc,

you can have your settlement be moving or variable geometry.

 

To approach it another way;

if you filter extant mods by their location co-ords on the map;

you can see that the bottom SouthWest, South and glowing sea are 'under-developed'.

whereas, the Center, North, North East, East are highly developed in terms of mod options.

there are also a lot of Minuteman, BoS, Institute and Enclave,

conversely, fewer Neutral/Unaligned, Raider or Ghoul locations.

Electrical Hobbyists Club would be fun to play with

Tinkering with Dcity may lead to bugs in the game.

If I could make a player home it would be a big underground bunker somewhere north of Sanctuary with a workbench.

So player can create his home as he wants it.

No companions Dogmeat may be.

why not someplace no one has touched yet like outer space or something?

a ship in obit or space station? unless someone has done that already?

I second this - the hobbyists club is a unique location with a lot of potential, but for some reason Bethesda just gave it... radiation?
