The real life Lynn Woods Reservation (founded 1881) is a 2,200-acre (8.9 km²) municipal forest park located in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, located in the same general vicinity as it appears in the game. There is a tower at the highest point there, just as in the game, called simply Stone Tower, and was built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as a fire observation tower.

As my first solo mod for Fallout 4, Lynn Woods Settlement is pretty straightforward - new full workshop settlement at the vanilla Lynn Woods location. I noticed there weren't many mods involving this location despite the fact that it's a failed farming settlement, so figured I'd crank one out. Build area's kept rather small, for water you'll have to build pumps since there's not a nearby source, but extends well above the top of the Stone Tower. Workbench is located there, so to access it you'll have to fight the raiders who spawn. Hit the siren switch if you dare, it does spawn two deathclaws. With a scrap everything mod, you should be able to clean this place up no problem. That said, sometimes it can be weird with modded settlements so I added a Scrap-O-Matic trashcan next to the workbench, courtesy of LivelyNightmare's This Is Trash, simply scrap this to scrap trash, stains, brambles etc. in one fell swoop.
Credits - Besides LivelyNightmare, I'd like to thank Stuyk Programming's incredibly helpful Mod a Custom Settlement for Fallout 4 article, allowed me to bang this out in only an hour and a half using solely the Creation Kit. I highly recommend this article as well as tutorials done by Seddon4494 and Neeher for general knowledge if you'd like to learn how to make the most of the Creation Kit.
About me - I've been in the modding scene for quite a while, but I've always been more of a group project kinda guy, contributing to the Minutemen Vs. Gunners project and the late Fallout Badlands. I've made tons of solo mods, but this is the first one I've decided to release.
Contact me - I do my best to read every comment on this page, but if you'd like to contact me directly feel free to message me on the Nexus forums or at the Minutemen Vs. Gunners Discord, I spend a quite bit of time there.
