I'm still around all the time and try to answer as many questions as I can.
Q: When I open the door nothing happens.
A: This means the scripts aren't firing for some reason, and is almost always attributed to a failed NMM install, or an outdated/cracked version of the game. Make sure you're running the latest version from Steam. This mod will not work on a cracked version of the game.
If you have an updated version from Steam and are using NMM, try a manual install and see what happens. Make sure to scrap and re-craft any leftover doors.
Q: When I leave, I get an eternal loading screen, WHY IS THAT, HMM?
A: For some reason when leaving these basements it doesn't trigger a normal loading screen, just the 'black' one. Loading into a settlement cold can take a long time if it's big. When normally fast traveling to a settlement with the Pip-Boy I think the game knows it's going to be a settlement and handles it differently. When fast traveling via the teleport doors, it seems to take longer. tl;dr patience, grasshopper. Try letting it go for a while and let me know if you experience this still.
Q: Can I send settlers into the basements?
A: No, the way interior workshops work, this isn't possible. At least, not the way this is structured. Water, and food for settlers can't be planted so the whole thing just doesn't work.
Q: Can I send companions to wait in these basements?
A: Not currently, no. These basements were designed like Home Plate, which does not allow that either. Maybe in the future.
Q: Why am I unable to build exterior workshop objects in the basements?
A: These workshops are configured exactly like Homeplate, which only allows you to build interior furniture and decorations. This was also done to prevent you from adding more basements inside basements and causing teleport problems.
If you want to have full build functionality, you can open the console, click on the Workshop (the toolbox in this case), then type "addkeyword 5A0C8". Be sure to save first, so you can revert if it screws something up!
Q: This mod broke XYZ unrelated mod!
A: I've had a few people who, because they installed this last, assumed it was the culprit for an issue they were experiencing that was completely unrelated to what this mod does. For example, lights. The game's settlement lights are very finicky in the base game (turn off randomly), and simply quitting/reloading your game alone can make them work sometimes (I even have another mod that fixes the workshop lightbulb! )
In situations like this, uninstalling and loading your save and seeing something work doesn't mean that it was the mod you uninstalled doing it, especially if that mod doesn't remotely touch anything to do with what you're experiencing. Sometimes just reloading the game, or removing one extra mod from your load order is what is fixing it. I had a problem in Skyrim that I SWORE was being caused by a mod, because it stopped when I removed it... but the problem came back when I added another mod in its place. The game was just "at the brim" and started acting weird.
For example, if suddenly your sky is a different color, that has nothing to do with this. This mod touches absolutely zero vanilla records whatsoever, so if you experience something strange like that, it's 100% something happening on your side. Modding can be a strange beast! For the last 2 years I never had any reports like this, its only been until recently when people install 400 mods at a time that problems like this pop-up. This is not an outright dismissal of your issue, I'll still try and help, but please be patient and understanding.
Q: What are the cell IDs to use with the COC command?

I pretty much intend to use this mod to store sensitive material that I do not want NPCs to ever use, beside having a small, safe haven for my PC to sometimes retire to and decorate. I also had a look into another mod to complement this one, to have a place closer to the middle of the map, but referring to the comments it seems that basement mods can have issues with PAs disappearing.
That mod author is an experienced one, one that I highly respect and use several other mods of, but losing PAs would defeat the purpose of me using extra "player-home" mods. I just hope there is enough space in this one ^.^
Thank you for sharing the mod with us, and providing such an excellent support throughout the years.
I’ll leave it ON and hope that somehow it reactivates itself.
Either way, this mod is staying in my load order. Thanks!
The basements are also "detached" from the exterior navmesh (must be, in order to make them movable) so even if one were to make them full-fledged settlements, there would be pathing issues and your companions would never arrive.
If you opened the Fallout4.esm in xEdit and deleted the base pillar form, then yeah it would disable everywhere but that's an extreme scenario.
