TroyIrving’s Settlement Supplies Expanded 2.5 adds an incredible wealth of items that fits within the series’ lore. There’s one Fallout 4 settlement mod that answers that call, and it’s amazing. While all that’s good, there are people who are going to want to go extravagant. If you want 10 more items that could have been in, but for some reason didn’t make the cut, these work quite well. It’s all about giving people more options for authentic buildings.

They’re as weathered as the original walls available in the game, so everything fits well together. It takes content Bethesda made for settlements and left in the game, but for some reason didn’t make functional and accessible, and gets them ready for you to use. A good place to start is with Expanded Settlement Buildings by FloorBelow. It’s about making every possible building within a Fallout 4 settlement great. There’s a Min version, which only has the minimum amount of upkeep done by “Codworth” over the years, and a Max version that makes it look as good as it did back when your avatar was leading a happy, normal life.īut it isn’t about only making your home better. It makes the Sole Survivor’s home look the same way it did in the very beginning of Fallout 4, untouched by the ravages of time. To start, I highly recommend Mikor’s Pristine Pre-War Home. Because just because people are living in a wasteland doesn’t mean their houses have to look like pigsties. There’s nothing those of us with the console versions of Fallout 4 can do about this yet, but PC players have risen up and said, “No more!” A number of mods have already been released to make settlements look a little more like home. If you’ve just made a rug, and you’re at a settlement like Sanctuary with uncontaminated water, wouldn’t it be clean, spread evenly, and have no holes in it? Wooden ones are made out of boards that always have gaps between them.

It may be the end of the world, but that doesn’t mean the settlements have to be haphazard buildings. Call me crazy, but if I’m building a refuge for folks in the Commonwealth, I’m going to put some effort into it. By which I mean, settlements could look a lot better. Fallout 4 certainly has its perks, but there are also a few areas in need of some minor tweaking.
