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. Back up your stuff before you start messing around.Fallout 4 certainly has its perks, but there are also a few areas in need of some minor tweaking. This list is all about helping you build the settlement of your dreams while staying within the lore as much as possible - although the "build anywhere" one is definitely open to abuse.Īs ever, be wary when using mods they don't always play nice with each other, and there's no guarantee they won't bork your install and save games. What you won't find listed are purely decorative elements, or anything egregiously cheesy (nuclear turrets that don't require power and provide hundreds of points of defence, for example). Our picks for the best of the bunch are below. They say the most creative work occurs when you work within restrictions, but if you're on PC, the modding scene has delivered a ton of new materials, solutions to common problems, new features and much, much more. Now that Fallout 4 is a few months old and everyone's finished questing, dungeon diving and wacky build runs, the real work can begin: building chains of settlements while we wait for DLC.
