How to move the radio transmitter and remove the grass in The Castle?

[Modificare]

Hey folks,

 

I have two issues with the castle i can't find solutions for:

 

1. I want to remove all the grass in the plaza of the castle.

 

2. I want to move the radio transmitter somewhere else.

 

 

Scrap mods don't allow me to remove the fine grass foliage in the plaza, neither does the console command "markfordelete", since you can't select the grass in the console. If there's no other option, i wouldn't mind if the grass was replaced with green grass in The Castle or just the plaza, but nowhere else in the game. Mods that replace the castle are also out of the question, since I already use one mod that does this.

 

 

For the transmitter: I want to keep the Minutemen radio broadcast, but the placement of the radio transmitter really bugs me. I have plans for the plaza and a guy sitting on a desk with a huge radio transmitter in the middle of this settlement isn't in it. Is it maybe possible to put this unique radio transmitter somewhere else? Maybe duplicate it? I really like the loud, high radius broadcoast unique to this settlement.

 

 

If anybody has an idea on how to accomplsh any of the two things, I would appreciate the help! :-)

 

 

Cheers

I guess it's rather simple: Open up the CK and replace/change the grass ground texture from e.g. driedgrass to driedgrass without grass if the grass is coming from a ground texture, otherwise, if it's a static object, you need to delete the grass objects that you're refering to - which will probably break precombines(to understand what precombines are I recommend reading this https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5522717-fallout-4-optimization-and-performance-systems-explained/). The transmitter can just be moved somewhere else I guess, altough I'm not 100% sure but it should be that simple and again, this would probably break precombines. Also: I don't know if some other things may play a role there since it's a settlement area, so ideally you want to look up some information about that too(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0sjfEvwc1c). Another possible problem is that your changes may conflict with other mods which alter the castle.

For the transmitter, have you tried "Place Everywhere" and attempt to pick up the whole kaboodle and drop it somewhere else? Be sure to make a new save before trying anything. Tinkering with the Minutemen transmitter often breaks its transmissions with no means of repairing except for going back to a save prior to the tinkering.
