Patience is definitely needed if you're going to build like this. But when stuff comes together it feels great! This build probably took me about 3ish weeks between building and decorating.
@@BWTF_Ben shame that you can't export your blueprints on PS5. I would love to import your settlements into my game and expand it further. The decoration is absolutely brilliant.
Another excellent build! I'm also a vanilla only builder. Watching your builds helps prevent me from getting stuck in a rutt building certain things the same old way over and over.
Thank you kindly for watching and commenting! It can be very easy to get stuck in a rut, especially if you consider how limiting Vanilla can be in some respects. I do sometimes low key "burn out" and I'll walk away from the game for a couple weeks and look for inspiration in real life architecture or even movies before jumping back in to another build. :)
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I have plenty of tour videos for you to check out and would love to read your comments on the others! :)
Pretty inspiring. You definitley need no mods as long as you build lore-friendly settlements. I jumped back into Fallout 4 after years and work on a new settlement. I just use decoration mods, since i'm too lazy to place every single bottle or other items to shelfs etc. Your settlements are great highly detailed and interessting. Love it
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I've been seeing your Unreal engine renders and they are absolutely *incredible*! I really appreciate you checking my videos out. :)
@@BWTF_Ben my pleasure, you gave me lot's of inspiration and thank you glad you like my Unreal environments. More is on the way, Unreal and Fallout. Hope we will some new settlements from you in the future
Good stuff. Every time I see this settlement I think of what Werty Perty did here and have a good laugh. Dude turned this place into an automated death house-game with a prize. Probably the greatest build ever done the closest followed by his other builds. He took down all his videos..but Jesus...if you ever saw his settlements you'd lose your mind. Real talk.
You make No-Mods look better than Mods, and around the 7:30 you made that house look nice. I could never figure what to do with Somerville. Also, mod users note, settlements that have kids (Bunker Hill, Somerville Place, Nordhagen Beach), do NOT scrap the beds, or else they will just eerily never sleep. Kids ONLY use original, no-modded, non- edited beds.
I really enjoyed this tour, the way you mix assets to create unique structures and compliment them with lighting and decor is very impressive. Great job! 👍
There is so much that I love about this build! First off, Sommerville Place has never been my favorite settlement to build at. I hate how it rains there all the time and the hills drive me nuts. You demonstrated some serious skills and I am completely inspired. The guard towers on top of almost living quarters, awesome. The clothing shop built into the balcony, beautiful. The add on to the original house for the sole survivor, and the use of the roof, clever. The watermelon bin with the "sale" sign on it, genius! The whole entire clinic and the fact that it's ADA accessible. The bar and restaurant felt so real. Your brilliant use of the large campfire as a cooking station. I am fan-girling right now because this was truly one of the best No Mod builds of Sommerville Place that I have ever seen. Well done!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Yeah, the rain really did but an erm...dampener on things at times (especially when I was trying to glitch something tricky). I almost set up an automated launcher system to launch Clear Weather shells but I couldn't quite get it working right so I would just launch a few occasionally. :) Good eye on the ADA thing! I actually figured "People are going to be hurt or sick, they don't want to climb stairs!" :D I really appreciate your kind comments. They really help inspire me to do future builds!
1:10 Red paint can is a nice touch. 1:51 Is the rocket sitting on a weapon rack or something else? Hard for me to see watching on my surface pro with my old eyes. I really should watch tours on my desktop or TV. 2:35 Unique looking room. 4:15 Very upscale clothing shop for the wasteland. Gonna put Fallon's out of business. 5:54 Meow. 8:51 I like the form of that angled corner wall and the round floor overhang. 9:00 Pre war lamp is one of my favorite junk items. 11:00 SarDeliac's very first video was a tutorial on building a fruit bin similar to that. For some reason he's deleted or made it private since then. 11:42 It's too bad we only get that curved corrugated end wall as part of that prefab in vanilla. I rarely use prefabs but that one I do like to use. 12:39 I've seen you use that roof piece off in the distance as a sort of awning in several builds now and I still like it. I'm gonna have to copy it some time. 15:40 I think I Seal what you did there...... Sorry Groucho and Dagoonite. 16:12 Broken soda machine? 19:16 I actually cooked up some beef stew IRL yesterday. I wish I had some Fallout 4 sized carrots. Pickin's were slim at the grocery store. 22:00 I've never tried duplicating the icon. Good to know it works. 23:47 Weapon rack. Pretty nice "warm-up" build. As usual your junk decor and lighting looks top notch.
@@EZEfallout I thought you were soothed by the beautiful sounds of people screaming and bones snapping in the mouth of Hellmo. Speaking of Hellmo what kind of sounds does he make? Does he speak or is it all grunts and roars?
Thanks for watching and commenting Sheck! The rounded overhang is actually something I saw in a building in Manhattan (well, a much larger and elaborate version) and I was building this at the time so I added it in. I'm trying to pay attention to how real life structures are built with interesting shapes and design choices and then somehow using those ideas in my builds. And yep, that's a weapon rack holding the Nuka Rocket up. Originally I was going to build some type of wood contraption thing to do the job but then I thought "Why am I making this hard on myself?". :D The soda machine in the bar works. For much of my time building (after the bar was finished) I was hearing the "I can drink this forever and ever and then STOP!" like 1000x. :) Hope the beef stew was good! I wasn't sure if the Icon would duplicate given its relatively small size, but it took about...6 tries or so and then I got it. :)
@@EZEfallout The first two music pieces you hear were composed by a friend of mine especially for these videos. The others were free RUclips and royalty free music I purchased. :) I try to create a "mood". I honestly wouldn't mind using the actual FO4 music but I'm still uncertain as to how copyright strikes work so I didn't want to risk it.
Preston Garvey gave me the mission to rescue this place as early as level 14. After about 10 failed attempts to get there without dying, I gave up and decided that this place is just boned. If it wasn't the Super Mutants, the Deathclaw, or the Mirelurk nests that got me killed, it was the raider with a skull icon on his health bar. Sorry Preston, but someone else will have to deal with this, because I can't even GET here without getting eviscerated 10 times over.
I had no idea this episode was available. I subscribed, but I can't click on the Notification bell. This is a great set of builds. I, too, have done the sleeping bag glitched into a couch to get Settlers to sleep on them. 👍 'Quiche from a Rose' gets my "Seal" of approval. 😉 Beautiful build and layout. Nice that the soda makes them feel like a rainbow. 😁 I'll tell ya, tho, all those fecking twigs sticking through the ground going through all the floors, including the concrete ones, are something that just irks me. I'm glad there is a mod called No More Twigs. It just helps sell a settlement build, and not take away from it by seeing distracting twigs e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. 🙄🙄 😄 I like your medical center, as well as your Nuka Lover's home. 💜 Great builds. Wonderful episode. Thank you for sharing. Be Excellent and Party on. 🤘🎸😎🌈
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I agree, the twigs get on my nerves but being a Vanilla builder I've just had to learn to ignore them. :D And yes, that settler dialogue at the soda machine is hilarious!
I enjoyed building here. Redoing this settlement several times. I love your style and lighting. I use PS4 but it looks like PS5 gives you larger build memory. Placing all those items individually is a tough one. Kudos to you.
I just found your channel yesterday, and I’m really enjoying your artful and thoughtful builds. I’ve played fallout 4 for years, and I’ve already learned a lot about building from your channel from just watching a couple of videos. Very well done.
The additions to the house look great, especially the shed on the side as well as fitting in workbenches on top of the roof. Do you have a specific building philosophy on lighting?
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. :) As for lighting generally I go with mood and in some cases what fits the characters. For instance, with the security tower, lots of bright lighting makes sense because they need to see around them, so I just flooded that with lights. However, in the bar/restaurant people want to chill out so I went for more mood lighting like you'd see in a lounge. You'll see this contrast in the Machines of Atom structure where they have bright lights in the "workshop" section, but where they sleep and pray it is dimly lit much like the Nucleus. :)
I wish they would just let you fix the broken houses already in the settlements instead of having you jump through all the hoops to patch up holes and stuff. That family just sleeps with barely a roof over their heads. In fact some of the availaible settlements are just so bizzare like theres one on the beach that's just a hole in the ground.
I'd say if the building limits and memory were not so limited for me I'd probably do outer walls more even though they are more aesthetic than functional. The way I build, I have to pick and choose what to build and walls usually get ditched in favor of buildings.
One thing I wish you could do in this game is put up support posts without mods. When a roof just hangs off it bothers me. Cause really it would just kinda fall over in real life
Side note isn’t it weird your character can hold like 20 guns in their inventory but trying to move a bag of cement or fertilizer is too heavy for them?
Hello! Thank you for watching. When you are given the mission to build the teleporter to get into the Institute, one of the components you can build is this computer console. However, once you build it and teleport into the Institute the option to build it goes away. So what I do is before I finish that mission, I run around to different settlements and build these consoles and just let them sit there til I'm ready to build there. :) You can read about the teleporter here: fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Signal_interceptor

I used floor panels from the Wood section and snapped them together outside the house (before I built anything else there). I then used the pillar + camp fire glitch to sink them into the roof. You have to fiddle with it quite a bit but the pieces eventually fit in. Then I did something similar with the floors. If I recall correctly, I put the camp fire on the porch at the doorway to do that part. :)
I *think* those quests generally come from the Minutemen (Preston's famous "help the settlement" quests) or from Minuteman radio. That said, there are weird glitches that happen now and then where certain settlements almost never come up to get help while others do.
if you still need an answer, this is how I do it: place the couch somewhere on the ground, away form other building objects, place a sleeping bag on a different piece of ground, away from other objects. Place a pillar (from the concrete section) near the sleeping bag. Select the pillar, also selecting the nearby sleeping bag. By adjusting the hight and place of the pillar, you can now place the sleeping bag anywhere you want (including sinking it into a couch). Look into the "pillar glitch" for more information, that really helped me placing objects where they otherwise couldn't be placed
Always admire people who build without using any mods at all. The patient and dedication must be insane. Even with Place Everywhere mod, it still took me 3 weeks to build up Somerville Place.

Expend construction limit isnt mod if you made it with a tips ?
Settlement building is the real endgame.
