Fallout 4 - Sanctuary Hills Settlement Build Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2021
- This is a settlement build tour at Sanctuary Hills from my most recent lightly modded Fallout 4 playthrough, using only vanilla and DLC objects (with a little help from Place Everywhere).
This is a Minuteman protected farming and trading settlement. I wanted to give the impression that this was a well-established settlement that has grown over time, with the original settlers fixing up and building around the ruined houses then slowly expanding towards the river.
The settlement features a covered marketplace, a small hotel and bar, a medical centre providing a chemist and a place to treat patients, a larger bar and restaurant, and a smaller marketplace setup in the cul-de-sac. The riverside field area houses newcomers to the settlement with additional housing, a Brahmin pen, generator shed, and fishing docks and water pumps.
I found this build a challenge and had been putting it off for a while as I dont enjoy trying to fill large spaces. I would have liked to have added a little more decoration, but had to stop due to performance issues. Also noticed a few minor errors which I’ll correct before releasing a blueprint, but overall really happy with how this ended up (and more so now that its finally done!) 😀

The blueprint for this settlement is now available on Nexusmods: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/54238
@Tracy Lynn Unfortunately NexusMod’s only host mods for PC games (as far as I am aware). The mod I use to create the blueprints also requires the script extender to work, which sadly is not available for the consoles.
Dude great job kudos to you!
@@carbinecatfish8330 Many thanks - glad you liked it 😁
Can I get this on Xbox?
@@nathanhails5901 Sorry, unfortunately not. The mod I use to export the blueprints is PC only.
When most people build in Vanilla, they tend to forget their in a wasteland and make something which feels out of place. You on the other hand make structures that feel real with lore and look absolutely amazing. Excellent work on
Sanctuary and all you're other builds. Extremely underrated channel for the sheer talent you possess.
Many thanks for the kind words! One of my aims with this series is to build settlements that hopefully blend in with the existing game and not feel out of place. It’s great to hear that you feel I have been able to achieve this 😁
Sorry for the lateness of this reply, YT had for some reason blocked your comment and has only now just allowed me to approve and reply to it 😔
This is the best sanctuary build I've seen yet. I like how you didn't do anything super fancy with the buildings. They still look like something you'd expect in a wasteland. Gonna use this as inspiration for my sanctuary
Thanks! Great to hear you liked it and that it might be able to provide some ideas for your own settlement. Hope it goes well! 👍😁
“The best” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kunkunca it's his opinion tho
"They still look like something you'd expect in a wasteland" not for long, if this game followed the laws of physics then a handful of people with explosive weaponry will easily destroy this """settlement""" in moments 😂😂😂. If you want to create an actual settlement where people will be safe then you're better off using concrete or other tough materials for building materials.
@@keztannis6848Relax you’re talking about a game where enemies have mini nukes and missiles and can apply what you said to any material. No material is defending that. The wood and shacks are cheaper and quicker to build/repair among homeless settlers if we should apply any logic and rationalism. It’s not to do with physics but what is likely to built amongst homeless who don’t have the skills to build more complicated structure. This is a very good settlement
This genuinely looks like a dev made settlement you would find in the game
Many thanks for the very kind words, great to hear you liked it! 🙏😁
Probably the best lore-friendly Sanctuary I've seen! Amazing job!
Thank you! 😊
A most epic of epic builds I’m sure it took forever to decorate. Underrated build channel👍.
Many thanks! Decorating was a rather lengthy process, hence the gap between the last build vid and the tour. I feel it could do with some more in places, but had to stop or the tour would have turned into a stutterfest (and it’s not like I really needed that many excuses to stop decorating 🤣)
@@FiddleflapsVids Oh yes as a person who has gone twice over the build limit on a ps4 and pc it’s never a good idea. Going beyond that point is crash city especially on console. Still respect this is a great vanilla and dlc build.
Had to reset the build limit three times to get all the furnishing in. Sadly had to remove some decoration as it started to make the game seriously stutter even with lowered settings, at that point I knew it was time to stop - the settlements done 😉
@@captaincook7663 oh I know the PS4 console issues. My sanctuary has pushed its limits.
Do you do the wire glitch in your builds? Your builds are soooo spot on and wonderful. I love the size and how buildings get patios or porches.
Holy moly this alot to take in, theres somethings in this video i never even thought to do in fallout 4! Believe me when i say this is outstandingly amazing!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
I know lots of mod builders go all out on settlements, and they look amazing, but yours fits so well in the game. It’s simple, realistic and looks like it’s supposed to be there if that makes sense. Awesome job! I also liked the bird sounds in the background.
I like to try and build settlements that hopefully fit and blend in with the games world so that's great to hear! Thanks and glad you liked it! 👍😁
Watching this a year later and I gotta agree with the comments, this build is insanely good. It stands out from other settlement builders because it actually looks like this could be a town someone would visit a few years post-fallout 4. My only, albiet minor, gripe is that the old houses dont have their ceilings fixed. The Floridian in me cannot stop worrying about the rain lol. But seriously, amazing job on this one. Your videos convinced me to actually get F4SE and PA installed
Glad you liked it - thanks! I fully understand your minor gripe about the ceilings in the ruined houses and it bugs me a bit too. This build was right at the limit of what my PC could comfortably handle, and had to cut out quite a few objects and decorations I had already placed to get it running as smooth as it does for the tour.
Great to hear you enjoyed the vid and hopefully it will provide some ideas for your own builds 👍😁
excellent construction without modes I take my hat off your buildings we all have a difference in design and that's where it gets interesting, the decoration is great, I enjoyed going around and thank you for sharing my friend
I try to avoid the larger settlements and found it quite a challenge (but still fun) to fill the space while hopefully making some visually interesting structures. Awesome to hear you enjoyed it and thanks for checking out the build 😊
It looks amazing and it's very inspiring. I also wanted to make Sanctuary into a simple, yet functional settlement, utilizing existing structures rather than scraping them.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😊
It took me almost 20 minutes to realize why there's so few settlers walking around.
It costs too many bottle caps per day for the average person to afford the rent Haha. Amazing job!
Lol - glad you like the place! Would have loved to add a few more settlers and decoration, but have to admit this is right on the edge for what my PC could comfortably run without becoming a stuttering mess 😞
Absolutely stunning build, it’s really hard to find the style of builds that I like doing myself. The scrappy lore friendly but polished look of your builds is fantastic, many props and thanks for the inspiration for my builds just made the switch from Xbox to PC and getting into Fallout 4 again.
Thanks! Awesome to hear you are enjoying the builds and congrats on switching to PC!
I swear each build you post outdoes the last one by a mile. You have an incredibly creative mind and talent for building. I appreciate all the inspiration I get for my own builds as well. Well done, keep it up!
Thank for the very kind words! Great to hear you are enjoying the builds and that they a providing you with some ideas for your own builds 😁
Flipping awesome mate! I'm really loving it, especially the little individualistic touches. I'm midway through the story so my settlements aren't exactly up to scratch. But post game I'm definitely going to have some fun with the workshop.
Glad you liked it - thanks! I always wait until late game to really start building up settlements, that way I have all the needed perks, magazines and resources. 😀
Damn sweet build! Really like that waterfront area, the bar and the motel set-up. That and great use of all the vanilla houses. Beauty work in all.
Glad you liked it - many thanks! If I could do this again I probably would not make it as large, still have nightmares about the length of time spent getting it decorated (and had to remove quite a bit due to performance issues). Still after many failed attempts I finally managed to finish a build at Sanctuary that I was happy with 😁
@@FiddleflapsVids Yeah, I know the feeling with performance. I'm usually running 2x size limit and sometimes so packed just looking in the direction of the central build will drop my frame rate from 60 to the low 40's, lol. I've got a warehouse theme build going there now that I'm really loving, way different than all my other builds there.
When I build up sanctuary or try to I like to think of it as the “capital” of the my settlements. I try to keep a wasteland scrappy feel with my settlements but also with a little bit more if that makes sense? Due to the passage of time in the wasteland I’d image more people would re-learn how to build certain buildings and such. Point being I try to be lore friendly to. I love how you make your settlements lore friendly
I once had a comment which described my builds as ‘scrappy but neat’ which I really liked and think fits the theme I am going for with each one. Sure, the settlements might be made up with whatever junk the settlers could scavenge, but they would still try to make their homes as comfortable and as best as they can. Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, thanks!
Hands down the best sanctuary build I’ve seen, lore friendly and realistic with no shiny pre war looking buildings, appreciate the building tutorial too. Subbed 👍🏻
Great to hear you liked it and the building series, many thanks! 🙏😁
Oh my goodness!!! Wow!! You are the master! I am going to watch this many many times! Thank you.
Many thanks - great to hear you enjoyed it! Was a little worried at times but really pleased with how this turned out 😁
When you feel like you're doing something well and then someone shows you how much you actually suck at it 😥
This is easily the best looking Sanctuary I've ever seen.
lol, now you have made me feel bad… 😉😅 Great to hear you liked it, hopefully it might provide some ideas you could use in your own builds. Thanks!
@@FiddleflapsVids Nice work man. Subscribed and will be watching your other builds. I watch a lot of F4 build video's. No idea why I haven't seen your channel before.
I have a question though. Well two actually.
1) Sometimes it's easy to tell if someone is rebuilding something for the camera that they already made, or if they are trying stuff out and make a lot of mistakes on the way.
I honestly can't tell with your videos. You've either got a great memory or you just don't make mistakes. Which is it? 🤔
2) Do you not suffer from your brain screaming when you build something and the plants are sticking through it? I couldn't take it anymore and as I don't want to use a scrapper mod I just try to avoid those areas, make sure I'm building over the top of them, or put something big over them like a Nuka Cola machine or something.
@@Wolfways Hope you enjoy checking out some of the other builds and thanks for the sub 👍😁
1) All my build vids are pre-planned and practiced a few times before I record. For each settlement I always build a ‘rough’ version first, then rebuild it for the build vids and finished tour.
2) Sort of 😉😆. Where possible I try to build around the various plants and shrubs that can’t scrapped, and it’s something I have been doing more when planning my more recent builds.
Sometimes I feel it can even look quite good, and give an overgrown run down look. Of course I would prefer to be able to remove them but also choose not to use scrapping mods, and so have got quite good at just mentally blocking them out 😅.
@@FiddleflapsVids So good memory and denial 😆
Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to watching your other builds 😃
DUDE! Sanctuary has always been a settlement that I never really get too full on with building, usually from the player home and cul-de-sac but this is awesome! Would love a mini series of how you build some of your houses though, very cool
Thanks! After so many playthroughs of just setting up a simple player home along with basic repairs to some of the other houses, I was determined to try use as much space as possible for once. It’s probably a little over built and a little laggy in places but still really pleased with how it turned out 😁.
For most of my builds (including this one) I also make a building series showing how the settlements were put together - ruclips.net/p/PLhB__s4THkoUz_Li0wZQNgYVLk4hpjvee
Congrats on completing this huge build! It looks great! Well done keep it up!
Many thanks, looking forward to seeing what you put up the Nexus next 👍
@@FiddleflapsVids Well, my Oberland Station is already out) but its my last blueprint for a while now
@@zorgnak3936 I just spotted today! Planning to give it a download later and check out what you have made 😁
Such an amazing build! Really looks so surreal compared with what you started with to what you built.
Many thanks! I find the hardest part of building is at the start of a new project, as it can be hard to visualise what those empty structures you are building will look like once furnished and decorated.
This is beautiful you've done a fantastic job thanks for giving me a glimpse of inspiration
Great to hear you enjoyed it, thanks! 👍😁
Awesome work man, love the "scrappy" feel of the place.
Many thanks - glad you like it 😁👍
Seeing your masterpiece makes me want to quit my progress.
Awesome
Sanctuary seemed to be the build that just would not end... hopefully you can get some inspiration from the vid and manage to complete your own build 👍😁
I love that you used whole area to build on,such amazing work you did.I hope your next build gonna be in outpost zimonja because i just got a railroad quest to make it a mercer house,probably you gonna make it absolutely amazing with your creativity.keep It Up!
Thank you! I generally don’t like large build areas so had been putting off Sanctuary for a while, and although I found it challenging (decorating it seemed to take forever!) really pleased with how it turned out. My next build will most likely be at Coastal Cottage although that could change as I have already failed twice to build something there 😔
Great work. So nice that makes me feel want to play this game again.
I don’t know what it is about roaming their post-apocalyptic wastelands, but the Fallout series always seem to draw me back for ‘just one more playthrough’ 😆 Great to hear you enjoyed the build - thanks!
I'm coming back from 2015 to recreate my world on PC and I'm following your construction videos. Incredible work and inspiration ❤
Great to hear the vids can be of some use and hope your builds go well, thanks! 👍😁
@@FiddleflapsVidsI have a question. How do you get those surveillance positions in the workshop?
@@leemonaadee Do you mean the guard posts (0:50)? If so they are from the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC and can be found in the Defense > Guard Post section of the build menu along with the normal wooden guard posts. For some vault objects you need to complete the Vault 88 questline before you can place them in normal settlements.
@@FiddleflapsVidsThanks for taking your time to respond to me! I will take notes ✅️
This is exactly what I had in mind when I looked for a sanctuary base tour, you should make a series like that where you build like this and in the end show off the final product in a tour
Nvm just realized that you do that, ima watch these videos now
Thanks! Great to hear you liked the tour and hope you enjoy the building series 👍😁
Honey, get the popcorn, Fiddleflaps uploaded a new settlement tour! :D
This is beyond epic! I'm speechless.
Many thanks! I am really pleased with how it turned out, and also glad that its finally done 😁
nice seeing settlement build even after all this years
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😀
Amazing! I would never think to build half of that in Sanctuary.
Great to hear you liked it! Have to admit this got a little out of hand and ended up building far more than I intended 😳🤣.
This is the most legit fallout settlement I've seen nice work mate
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 👍😁
This is SO much better than the builds some dudes do with just acres of concrete walls, nice one.
Thanks! Never been a fan of the concrete ‘box fort’ look although some people have made it work. Much prefer my settlements to look like they belong and fit in with the games existing world, well at least that’s the look I hope to achieve 😅🤣
Been refreshing nexus mods for this to upload all day. cant wait!
Great to hear you are looking forward to the blueprint! Got a little clean-up and a few tweaks to do before I can release it, but hoping to get it onto Nexus tomorrow 😀
Beautiful work
Thank you!
Another Amazing build!
Many thanks - glad you liked it 😁
Best settlement build I've seen... amazing
Many thanks! 👍😁
I will use some of your tutorials whit sim settlement 2 for my sanctuari because everithing i build it just ugly you on another hand your master so thanks for your amazing videos .
Great to hear you are enjoying the videos, and that they may be of some use for developing your own builds! Many Thanks! 👍
Ok, I admit it,I was a NewVegas diehard. One day decided to get 4 and played about 15 minutes, wn r thought this. was a pretty sucko game. After a couple months decided to try again seeing videos of what i can do. Pretty awesome.
Although the quests and choices fail in comparison to New Vegas, Fallout 4 does have an interesting world to explore and if you can get into it the Settlement Building system can provide a lot of fun 👍.
The Harbor part really gave me some inspiration and something to do with it!
Great to hear the video has been able to provide some ideas, thanks! 👍😁
Nice job blending the various structure pieces together, i.e. wood w/ barn, metal with warehouse, wood w/ scaffolding, etc. too often i see folks that have DLC forget to mix up their structure pieces to add character to each building
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 😁👍
Awesome build! I wish I had the creative mind like yours haha. I would love to see some guides on how you build some of your shops and houses. Especially the ones in the first 3 mins. I love the simple yet lore friendly designs
Great to hear you enjoyed the build and thank you for the very kind words 😁🙏. I did a building series showing how I made each of the structures in this settlement which you’ll hopefully find useful:
ruclips.net/p/PLhB__s4THkoUz_Li0wZQNgYVLk4hpjvee
@@FiddleflapsVids oh cool thanks for the link, I love your content!
Absolutely amazing as always! You have been a huge inspiration to my builds and love that you do build videos that I can follow along with! Would you ever consider doing more decorating videos?
Outside of special cases for certain builds its unlikely that I’ll be doing more decorating videos. It’s unfortunately my least favourite part of building, and the ones that I have done have been very time consuming to make. I also like saving showing the decoration for the final finished tours, as it gives people who have been following the building vids something new to see.
Great to hear you have been enjoying the videos and finding them useful, many thanks! 😁🙏
Nice Build! you have done here. Your creativity is always running high! As I know you use no Mods except for Place anywhere. Enjoyed all of the tour :-) Top Job! Cheers - Jass.
Thanks! This one got a little out of hand size wise, but very happy with how it turned out!
Any one else watching to improve on their own ideas ?
Hope you enjoyed the vid and it was able to provide some ideas! 👍
Of course , WE do . But WE take ideas from the bests and yes, this IS one of da best
Just came across your channel. Really digging the builds!
Great to hear you are enjoying them, thanks! 👍😀
I like it. I just allways patch some parts of my roofs up, hate to think that my settlers will get rain in their beds.. But very nice
Thanks! I feel the same way with the roofs and would have loved to patched them up to keep the rain out. Sadly I had hit the limit of what my PC could handle build wise, while still being able to record a somewhat smooth tour video. As such the roofs and a few bits of additional detail and decoration had to cut.
Man.. this is a lot of work!
lol, I wanted to go ‘big’ this one… remember starting to regret that decision about half way through the build, but really pleased with how it turned out 😅.
Hey! ok looks like it's done, let me get my popcorn while I watch. I've always hated doing Sanctuary so I'll for sure be downloading this once it's up on Nexus.
Feels good to get this finally done! Noticed a few minor mistakes when watching the vid back that I need to correct before releasing the blueprint. Also tempted to add low/med/high versions of the blueprint to hopefully make it a little more performance friendly.
@@FiddleflapsVids I have a beefy machine so that would not be a problem for me, one thing I've noticed that you don't put in your builds is a gym or individual exercise equipment.
Must admit I don’t like most the stuff that came with the Vault-Tec DLC (expect the crates!), and the settler animation when using the Pommel Horse looks plain daft to me. The Weight Bench might be a handy filler object for a guard barracks though, so something to remember for future builds 👍
@@FiddleflapsVids I have another question, I just ran Havok and it created a second json file with the havokdisabled name, which one of the files to upload to nexus? hence "abernathy_######.json and abernathy_######_havokdisabled.json " Thanks
You will want to upload the 'havokdisabled' name 😄
Late to this amazing build. Absolutely love some of the house designs.
Great to hear you like them, many thanks! 🙏😁
Really love Ur build style I used it as inspiration for my taffignton boathouse build and it came out great this build us amazing as tho
Awesome to hear you are enjoying the builds and that they proving to be of use for your own 😎
Wow!!!! Incredible!!! Thank you for sharing ❤
Really great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Looks dope!
Thanks! 👍😁
Nice man gj 👍 can’t wait for blueprint
Thanks - great to hear you liked it and are looking forward to the blueprint 😁
@@FiddleflapsVids I legit appreciate it because I don’t have the skill (or maybe just the attention span and patience lol ) but I want to build realistic lore friendly settlements for immersion especially at Sanctuary
This is dope man!! I played fallout 4 when it released and I only just bought all the dlcs for it so I'm getting back into it!
Thanks, great to hear you like it and hope you enjoy your new Fallout 4 play through with all the DLC. I really enjoyed Far Harbor, and the DLC's add some nice new objects if you are in to building your own settlements.
@@FiddleflapsVids For sure just subbed man for more fallout stuff haha! I'm just barely starting far harbor and it's great can't believe I never even thought of getting the DLCs back then.
Far Harbor is such an atmospheric location and think it has some of the best quests in the game, also remember to bring Nick Valentine with you when you visit Arcadia 😉
WONDERFUL JOB!
Thank you! 🙏
hey, did i say i love you? i love your works. um i think your building skill is perfect. thank you for your efforts.
Many thanks for the kind words, awesome to hear to you are loving the builds 😁
Fiddle, I want you to bottle your patience and sell it to me! LOL seriously, your work is stunning. It's so lore friendly it's ridiculous. I can imagine trying to make this using Sim Settlements interior plots for some of it, because I'm still not good with the tedium of decor, as much as I love it. I also use Whisper's mods: Raze and Clean My Settlement (since they don't break anything) because uhh, just no to the trash and leaves inside my houses. Come on settlers, really? You can't sweep and pick up trash? hehe thanks for the vid. Awesome work as always.
Many thanks for the kind words, glad you are enjoying the builds! Must admit I have a love hate relationship with decorating my settlements - love how it looks when its all done, but hate having to do it 😅 I find breaking it up into smaller chunks, doing a house or two and then go do something else for a while really helps ease the tedium.
Totally agree with your thoughts on the leaves and trash piles in this (and other settlements) and drives me nuts. Would loved to have been able to clean up some places (especially the living areas), but really like being able to release blueprints that are mod requirement free. Thankfully people can always use a scrapping mod of their choice after importing the settlement, if they feel the need to do some much needed spring cleaning 🧹.
@@FiddleflapsVids totally agree, it's always such a nice find to discover great builds like this that don't require mods, but have to admit that that stuff triggers me LOL. If I am really in the mood to build from scratch (read: not using Sim Settlements) I'll use mods like I mentioned and also CREative Clutter, which has prebuilt bunches of clutter that really cut down on the number of items placed and provide that lived in, cluttered feel. This is more for others that may not know about those mods. Frogprincess and the others involved in the CREative mods are such good people too. They also make Do it Yourshelf, a great companion mod.
ETA: OMG how was I *not* subbed? Fixed that right up I did!
Must admit I have been saving Sim Settlement’s for when normal settlement building loses it charm, from the little that I have seen of it and all the content packs I don’t think I would be able to go back once I started to use it, lots of cool stuff to play around with!
I have used Creative Clutter and Do It Yourshelf in the past and loved them. Only problem was I found it too easy to over decorate, and quickly found myself wondering what had happened to my frame rate. Not a fault on the mods part, will just need to learn a little self-restraint if I start to use them again for modded builds 🤣
Many thanks for the sub! Currently working out the layout for my next build (which is going well), hopefully will be able to start uploading build videos for it in a week or two 😊
Just finished your video. Must commended you on your use of barn, shack, and scaffolding together in a single structure. ❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Many thanks! 🙏😁
Your Sanctuary looks really cool. I always hated building here because the settlement is too big
Thanks! I think one of the toughest things about this build was trying to come up different stuff to fill all the space, as for some reason I decided to make life hard for myself and try and use as much of the space as I could! 🤣
Still, really happy with how it turned out (even if it did feel like it took forever to finish) and great to hear you also liked it! 👍
You’r amazing builder 🤯
Thanks! 🙏😁
Incredible!!
Glad you liked it, thanks! 👍😁
Just wow!
Thanks 😁
Nice build man
Glad you like it - thanks! 👍
@@FiddleflapsVids i hope you don’t mind if i use some of your buildings the greenhouse and the water ones
I built myself a treehouse and some houses on top of the sanctuary houses i use cosmetic mods i only fixed roofs and added door snap points to the sanctuary houses also fixed the bridge i don’t like mods that completely fix the settlement i like them kinda rundown but to have a realistic fix and i also add place everywhere and bigger borders haha and also more settlement stuff lol
@@mikehance6086 Please feel free to use anything you like in your own settlements 👍. I post these vids in the hopes others might find them useful or provide ideas for their own builds, so it’s great to hear you want to use some of the designs.
@@FiddleflapsVids thanks i always struggle with what to build on the water of sanctuary so its really helpful
Awesome build! 1:37 are you sure we should keep crates of explosives right next to the toilet and a candle? He he he! Love the greenhouse. All of your little homes and shops are so cozy. Your settlers are lucky! I know this took forever to build and decorate, it shows. What are you working on next?
I could imagine some of the more dim witted settlers trying a little explosive plumbing in an effort to clear a stubborn blockage 🤣 Thank you for the kind words and really glad you enjoyed the build! No solid plans on what’s next apart from wherever it is being much smaller! Currently toying with either Kingsport Lighthouse or taking a third attempt at Coastal Cottage 😱
Time well spent I say.
Glad you like it - many thanks!
Damn no mods your a king!
Thanks! I did use the Place Everywhere mod to build this so I cant really claim this as a ‘no mods’ build 😉
@@FiddleflapsVids lol that don't count
Ok so I just started a new playthrough and just had the opportunity to lay down your Sanctuary blueprint and I am impressed, nicely done and laid out, I can only imagine how long it must have taken to export 5k items much less 2k because I have to flip over to Hulu when I start an over 2k export. Haha
Thanks for your kind words over on my Finch farm tube, as I said I learned from the best :) you still have the edge when it comes to decoration's.
I also wanted to add that I had been leaving the doors off of my buildings as I saw no point in them since they are always left open and most of the time are in the way being left open but after laying down your sanctuary blueprint and walking through it, the doors do seem to add a nice element so I'm going to start adding them.
Exporting this did take quite a while (around 30 mins), and multiple attempts as I kept finding details I had forgot to link to the workshop before exporting - got there in the end though! Agree that settlers always leaving doors open is a pain, but where it’s possible to place them I feel they are a needed detail.
The kind words for your Finch Farm build are well deserved! Still need to check out your County Crossing build, but based on your previous builds I expect to leave another nice comment 👍
@@FiddleflapsVids Thanks, I should add and we've had a conversation about it, and that is the Mod "Workshop plus", you said that you had issues with it or something? I've been using it in these past builds without any problems and it's so handy, it makes building so much easier in fly mode.
Workshop Plus is fantastic and has many features I enjoyed using (Fly Mode, Layers, Auto Closing doors). One of my goals when I started this series was to build settlements that would load and function in a pure vanilla game, as I sometimes like to go back to old saves to look (and sometimes laugh) at what I had built. The minor issue I found is my settlers would disappear if I disabled the mod. So this is the (admittedly slightly strange) reason that I am not using it.
@@FiddleflapsVids Oh I see, that's weird, I've not tested that as of yet.
Super nice.
Thank you! Cheers! 🍻 😁
This build is fucking crazy wow
Glad you liked it, thanks! 😁🙏
Most Lore friendly build ever.
Could you provide your pc and monitor spec please？This is really smooth.
Many thanks - glad you liked it! My current PC has an i7 8700k, 16GB RAM (3200Mhz), an RTX 2070 Super, x3 SDD’s (OS, Games and Storage), and an ASUS MG278Q monitor.
So relaxing
Thanks! 👍
Such a good build, defiently a inspiration for my sanctuary build! I am wondering how in your building sanctuary series you managed to turn off global collision or general snapping without opening the place anywhere options menu?
Many thanks - glad you liked the build and that it might be of some use 😊 I play on PC and although I use an Xbox controller, I can still use the keyboard to activate Place Everywhere’s functions and modes.
If I tried to build this, my console would burst into flames from the lag lmao.
I think I got a little carried away when building this, had to cut back on a few details as my PC was starting to struggle to run this smoothly 🔥🧯
Dude that building is insane your a pro at this oh and could you please make a video when its night time in the game I would like to see all the lights at night
Thank you for the kind words, and glad you enjoyed the build! Currently struggling to get a build done at Starlight and not sure when I would be able to get round to doing a night tour (although that could be fun to do 😉).
While it’s not quite a video I did take a few screenshots of the build at night which gives an idea of how it looks with all lit up:
www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/54238
Your better than me I get confused on how to do that stuff🙂😃
Wish this was a mod on Xbox and PlayStation would be on this right away!
Sadly the Transfer Settlements mod is PC only. I do show how the bulk of the settlement was made in the build series. Although not the same as downloading a fully finished settlement, it might be fun to try and recreate and then put your own spin on it 😀
@@FiddleflapsVids I hear ya. You do give me a bunch of ideas, so thanks for that lol
that's nice dude.
Thanks! 👍
Feels like a legit postapoc village.
Thanks! 🙏😁
i did a kind of nuka world park with games and nuka robots defending it and settler with power armour with nuka world paints.
There is a mod which let you create power frame and move it and mod for assign settler to power armour up in their house.
The only problem i had was the conections of energy because i dont know how work conducts.
Sounds like a cool build 👍😎
Would love to see how this is powered . And placement of wire connectors etc
If you are on PC you could always download the blueprint and check it out for yourself 😉👍. The wiring mainly follows a path along the roofs of each building and can be seen at certain points during the vid, and I use the street lights and trees to bridge over the street and certain larger open spaces.
damn, we live Fallout 4 everyday here in Brasil.
Well I guess at least there’s no Deathclaws or Super Mutants in Brasil… I think... right? 😉🤣
What is your mod list? I watched a few of your older build vids and noticed that. Great builds, by the way.
Thanks, great to hear you are enjoying the builds! I use a few gameplay mods but none that add any settlement objects. There is a link to my full mod list in the description of each video 😉
1st, are you flippin insane??? 😂 and 2nd, how long did that take you to build???
I love all the detail you put in it. ❤
Seriously has the “size meter” crashed on your extensive build yet?
Really great to hear you liked it, many thanks! This was built up over a 3 month period in my free time, with the build limit being reset at least 4 times (although it might have been 5). It did get to the point where the build was too much for my PC to handle and started to get some weird glitches and bugs.
Due to this I did unfortunately have to remove some sections and decoration which is why some areas look a little empty compared to others, but was necessary to have any hopes of a somewhat decent frame rate while recording the tour… and to stop my PC from catching fire 😉🤣.
Are you placing the "clutter" by hand or is there a mod you use for that? I can build all day, it's the fine details and making the place look lived in that I struggle with.
All the clutter is hand placed and then made static (so my work is not undone by clumsy settlers) using Place Everywhere. Must admit it’s my least favourite part of building, but feel it’s needed to really help finish off a build.
Good for you man. You've finally get to tackle Sanctuary hills. So what's your next project?
No solid plans for what’s next yet, will take a small break from building and then hopefully find somewhere smaller to tackle 😀
@@FiddleflapsVids Coastal Cottage comes to mind......lol Love your work by the way
Many thanks! I have tried and failed twice to build something at the dreaded Coastal Cottage… Maybe third times the charm? 😂
To be honest, Coastal Cottage shouldn't be a settlement in the first place..😑
Looks good,, which mod did you use for the red vendor cashiers?
Thanks - this is a Vanilla + DLC only build, so no settlement object mods were used. I believe the cash registers are in the Nuka World \ Nuka Town USA tab 😉
Looks awesome can you do a videos on how you decorated everything im on console i would love to do the same as you
Thanks! I don’t typically show the decorating process as its very time consuming and repetitive, plus I like to save something for the people who have watched along with the build series to have something new to see.
I did do a one off video showing my decorating process during my build at Starlight Drive In, and should give you an idea of how I decorate my builds:
ruclips.net/video/miIUpEcttwQ/видео.htmlsi=cpzmsV3H4m7my6vY
Be aware this is on PC so I am using batch files / console commands to add junk items, and the Place Everywhere mod to adjust and make some objects static.
Love the build, currently tyring to recreate parts of it for my own playthrough. Have you considered uploading to console via workshop framework?
Thanks! Hope your build goes well 👍
I know im a whole year late so theres a chance you wont even see this comment but this build is insane! im a new fallout 4 player and ive been really brought in by what you can n cant do in a settlement. I hope you don't mind me taking some inspiration from your builds (having the electricity wired to the roof has absolutely changed the way my houses are going to look lmao i hated the look of wiring through the house)
Great to hear you liked then build, many thanks! When I first starting trying to improve my settlements I learned a lot from watching how others had built theirs, and so upload these vids in the hopes that they might be of some use or provide ideas for others. So please feel free to use anything you like from the vid in your own builds, its what they are for 😁👍.
@@FiddleflapsVids It has completely changed the way i build. Its a miracle your video popped up when i typed in sanctuary builds lmao, Keep it up 100% going to check out your other videos now see what other brilliant ideas you have!
I turned my sanctuary into a concrete jungle lol tall buildings with factories and enclosed massive water purification facilities. Game laggs sometimes warping into that settlement lol
Sounds cool 👍
If I built up Sanctuary like this, my console would explode just stepping near the border of Red Rocket.
Lol, must admit my PC is not exactly happy trying to run this either… ramping up all its fans as if in protest of what I am trying to make it do 🧯🤣
In the green house by the entrance we're did you get those half walls under the window
If I am thinking of the right section, they come with the Contraptions Workshop DLC and are in the Structures\Warehouse\Walls tab. I have a series showing how I put this build together and have linked the part where I build the greenhouse:

@@FiddleflapsVids oh okay thanks I have the all the DLCs it's just I didn't know we're to look thx
Im new to modding and i really want to use this blueprint. Do i wait to bring Preston's people there or or do i install this first? Also should i scrap the collapsed houses first?
You can import this blueprint either before or after Preston and his gang arrives, typically any blueprint can be imported once a settlement has been unlocked and you are able to access the build menu. Before importing this you will need to scrap everything that can normally be removed (don’t use any scrapping mods).
Never could get into settlement building. Didn’t understand why post apocalypse people couldn’t pick up a broom.
It always made me wonder how settlers could craft laser turrets or even fusion generators out of literal scrap, yet could not work out how a broom functions 🤣.
I loved your Sanctuary! Really original. But let me ask you a question: how is your creative process? Do you plan anything or just go building what is on your mind?
Thanks! I guess I would class my build process as a lot of trial and error 😅. I typically have no idea what a settlement is going to look like when I start building, and usually just start throwing pieces together to see what sticks. Sometimes this works out great but more often than not I’ll build and then tear down structures multiple times until I get something I am happy with.
It’s also not uncommon for me to get halfway through a build only to completely restart it, often taking elements I felt worked and trying a different approach for the areas and structures I felt did not quite look right.
@@FiddleflapsVids Ah, so you have a lot of patience. I must learn that. I'm usually very eager to see the end and this end up in class C buildings. I'm not very confortable with building, but well, I'm a newbie.
@@paulogabriel1636 When I first started to try and improve my building I found starting small really helped out. Rather than trying to build whole settlements I practiced making simple shacks, swapping out materials to see what pieces worked well with others.
Once comfortable with that I started building variations of those shacks adding extra rooms or floors, which helped me build a set of structures that I could place and further customise in any settlement.
Would also recommend stating out at one of the smaller locations before trying to tackle some of the larger ones like Sanctuary or Starlight. Getting a couple of smaller completed detailed builds really helps to boost your confidence, and will really help when it comes time to try and fill out those larger locations 👍😁.
@@FiddleflapsVids thanks for the tips! I will do that!
I think it would be nice if you build "oil lamps" (or what is it called) on sides of the road.
I felt the settlers repairing the existing street lights made more sense for this build.
If you don't mind me asking but how and were can u get so much random items and objects like the cereal and beer bottles ect?
I stopped ‘playing’ this save a long time ago and just use it for building now, as such I use console commands to add the various junk items I use for decoration and have batch file set up for various categories. The normal method would be to clear locations collecting junk and waiting for them to reset (Corvega and Federal Ration Stockpile are two great locations), and the various general traders can also be a good source of items.
@@FiddleflapsVids just one last question, you know duplicating is a thing right? If so i that would probably explains the shiton of materials for the sanctuary
@@daveongeorge1151 Honestly never knew duplicating was a thing in this game. Never really needed it though, as with junk items I also add resources via console commands 😉
This is remarkable, to bad even if cleared the place I doubt my computer could handle this plus A forest placing 9000 HD trees in the backgrounds lol
Great to hear you liked it, thanks! 👍
