structure and furniture

Alpha 1.3

Themes and Practices is a module designed to provide new constructible objects for your settlements. The plan is to update it with new themes and add new objects to them during development. There is also a holotape that allows you to customize some mod settings.

Objects can be found in custom categories in their own workshop menu. It should be in the last category on the right after installation.

Warning: Most mashups furniture mods are "budget intensive" for your solution, you can use mods to augment it if this becomes an issue.

The "Caravan Update" to the Trade Arcade category adds a new way to manage access to your settlement's Caravans. No longer will you be limited to a caravan trading station that attracts four traders, each trader is now attracted to their own object. The same applies to their Brahmins and guards.

The new Caravan Trading Post has a happiness rating of 5 and an income rating of 2

You will need to unlock the Vanilla Caravan Trading Post in order for the object to appear in your workshop menu, or use the cheat option in settings holotape.

"Brotherhood" allows you to build BOS structures crafted from scratch using the same technology as Trading Emporium. I will extend it by adding

New structures and furniture for the future.

Unlocked like BOS flags by joining a faction. Either complete one of the missions "Airship Down", "Rockets' Red Glare", "With Our Powers Combined" or use the cheat options available in settings holotape.

Theme and utility "optional files" currently add an alternative Raider store based on the Trading Emporium Update and some cosmetic items.

The "Trading Arcade" adds a new grid for shops, some very useful new structures. (Foundation, roof, walls, etc...) The goal of this theme is to improve and extend the Vailla store system. This part is still young in the mod, so keep in mind that it will evolve and wear out over time.

Scavenger offers a range of new items, including new beds, chairs, tables, etc... These are not vanilla items that can be constructed. They are handmade static mashups. You'll also find a decoration category that adds some vanilla items to improve the scavenger feel of your settlement.

The complete list of objects and functions for Thematic and Parctical can be found here.

Before uninstalling the mod, use the settings holotape provided during installation. If you can't find a holotape in your inventory, you can craft it at Chem-Station.

"[Settings] Topics and Utilities Holotape -> Tools -> Manual Uninstall"

It should disable the custom menu immediately. Then you can go and uninstall it.

Also note that it is recommended that you remove all furniture placed using the mod before uninstalling.

• Since the Caravan update, the mod may have compatibility issues with anything that modifies the Story Manager Quest node "CaravanPCSettlementVisit"

• If you start a new game and have the mod installed during the prologue (pre-war + find pipboy before the Vault) setting up holotape will

Cannot be added to your inventory. You can make it at Chem-Station

After exiting the vault'. I'll try to fix it for next update.

• Top bunk beds are considered outside when placed close to the roof, this problem comes from the game itself, if it bothers you, install this mod.

• Cinder Blocks cast some weird shadows, this is a vanilla FO4 issue that I haven't found a fix for yet..

• The vanilla stairs attached to the "Trading Emporium" foundation are a bit buggy in some cases, but without any weight, and if it bothers you, you can use vanilla flooring to attach your stairs. Or use one of Trading Emporium's custom staircases.

• I have a tricky way of navigating the walls of the store, it works when placed on the floor, but doesn't work at all if placed directly on the ground.
