Settlement expansion

NMM installation is now supported! If you like this mod, be sure to endorse it!

I forgot I had the Darker Nights mod installed during playback recording, so I tried my best to lighten the video during editing!

Please read all important notes from yellow before installing this mod! Failure to do so will cause the installation to fail and I won't provide support to those who can't read it!

summary

The goal of Settlements Expanded is to unlock and add features for designing settlements, many of which are noticeably missing from the construction menu in the Fallout 4 world. If possible I would also like to add more functionality and options to those objects already in the construction menu. I'd also love to work with others to add new, killer friendly objects to the settlement building menu. This mod will also expand the maximum number of objects that can be placed within a settlement. Finally, I would also like to increase the height of the settlement buildings (universal skyscrapers!), add new settlement locations, and more.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1: Unlock the script before the release of Fallout 4 G.E.C.K. (Eden Creation Kit) or some other method found to do this, this mod is currently limited to what it can do via a batch file. Therefore, many expected features are still planned.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: For some reason, Bethesda places a maximum placeable object limit on settlements. The more you expand and the more objects you add, the slower it will be and may even increase your chances of crashing, so be sure to save often and at your own risk!

Repeat for each settlement you wish to extend.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you place any bonus points, it is highly recommended that you select an incorrect game, or use it at the beginning of the game. These items will add perks and items that benefit your character outside of settlement buildings and could ruin your gaming experience if not turned off!
