About this mod
Just a simple build on Spectacle Island. (Blueprint and Clipboard pattern included)
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Introduction:
Hadn't planned on uploading this but had a request for a video walk through from Reese and DOG Gaming. Not really good at videos and my upload speed is terrible. So... here's the next best thing, an actual walkthrough.
Floors 2 and 3 I left empty because the framerate started dropping into the 40's, so thought I'd just call it done and move on. Feel free to add your own special touches.
Some Background:
I'm not really a settlement builder but do enjoy building in Fallout 4. I create these builds for my own enjoyment, and there are no plans to update them. Also, this comes as is and works fine on my pc, although other user experiences may vary. I just hope that others can enjoy using this as much as I enjoyed building it.
I also build with the idea of using as few mods as is necessary. So, most of the mods I use have been chosen because they are comprehensive and include many different pieces. I usually have many different ideas for builds in the works because ideas for one particular build may dry up or I just become bored after spending 50-60 hours on it.
*Also included is a Clipboard Resurrection pattern file (pattern.ini) that is much quicker that Transfer Settlements and doesn't include its requirements.
Recommended Mods:(highly recommended)
Workshop Plus (allows flying while in workshop mode among other options and makes moving around in a build much easier and really can add to your creativity) (just don't forget to shut off the workshop 5 second timer (F5) (from Place Everywhere))
Build High - Expanded Settlements 5.0 (doesn't work with Workshop Anywhere but offers 200+ floors and expanded boundaries in vanilla settlements) (great for any arial builds like skyscrapers/aircraft/spacecraft etc...)
Place Everywhere (of course) (If I could only choose one building mod for Fallout 4, this would be it.)
Clipboard Resurrection. Another great mod that allows you to backup to disk/restore/copy/move/rotate/scale anything from single items to complete settlements. Save patterns to disk to restore in other save games, place at other settlements, or even share with friends. This mod in combination with Place Everywhere allows you to copy almost anything in the game.
Installation:
* Make sure that you have F4SE, HUD Framework and Transfer Settlements installed.
* Extract the file "Data" and copy, then paste to your Fallout 4 game folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4).
* This blueprint uses slot 35. If you would rather it be a different folder, create another folder and number it (1-100) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints. Then add the .json file to the folder.
* The easiest way I've found to add a blueprint is to create a shortcut to the blueprint folder and place it on my desktop. Then when I download a new blueprint, I can extract it, copy it, go right to the blueprint folder and either paste the new folder or create a new folder and place the .json file in it. Done!
Importing:
Just follow the import directions below for Clipboard Resurrection. Although, for importing the Blueprint just fast travel to Spectacle Island and begin the import.
Import the settlement via the Transfer Settlements holotape, detailed instructions on this process can be found on the Transfer Settlements mod page.
Also, before importing and to ensure the settlement imports correctly always import and export on the STABLE (preset), not normal. Then always use Marker Based, where it will open the workshop while it's importing or exporting so it simulates you actually building manually.
To import, enable the following options from within the holotape:
*[Enable Import DLC items
*[Enable Import mod-added items
*[Enable Import or nuke marker-based items
*[Enable Import wired power connections
*[Enable Restore snapped power connections
Using the Clipboard Resurrection pattern file:
After extracting the files from your download, copy/paste the Clipboard pattern (pattern.ini) to a folder located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\Clipboard.
Then while in game:
* Build the clipboard tool.
* Choose "Move To Pattern Source Location" in the action menu first.
* Then choose "Paste From Clipboard".
Special Note 1: Remember, to wait till everything is highlighted in blue, then you can destroy the Clipboard Tool. After importing the blueprint don't immediately save the game. The papyrus function needs time to catch up with all the changes that were made, and your game will freeze until it finishes. This process may take a few minutes then it will save your game. It's best to let it finish. When it finishes, create a full save. Also, after importing the Clipboard pattern I needed to hook up the power. So, I added another picture showing its location (behind the main building).
Special Note 2: If you enjoy building in Fallout 4 and are on Facebook, the best building groups I've found are the Fallout 4 Settlement Building and Fallout 4: Commonwealth Creators groups. They include some of the best builders in the Fallout community. They also include builders of all skill levels and can answer any questions you might have about mods, materials, or techniques used for building in Fallout 4.
