Fallout 4 - Abernathy Farm Settlement Build Tour
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- This is a settlement build tour at Abernathy Farm from my most recent lightly modded Fallout 4 playthrough, using only vanilla and DLC objects (with a little help from Place Everywhere). This is a Minuteman protected farming and trading settlement.
In front of the existing pylon house a small village has been setup to house the settlements workers, along with a bar and a row of shops. The farm has been expanded behind the pylon house, along with a large greenhouse and some additional crop fields. The ground floor of the pylon house has been split up into a bar, kitchen, bathroom, and a single and double room for travellers to rent. On the first floor there is now a seating area and a bedroom for Blake and Connie, along with balconies overlooking the front and rear of the building, with an extra room for Lucy and private balcony on the top floor.
This settlement ended up being much larger than I expected but still runs relatively well. I did encounter several issues with settler pathing which I was unable to fix (Connie and Blake sadly just love to walk into solid walls), and also had problems with the vendors not working. This can be corrected by adding the cells the traders are located in to the settlement area via the Creation Kit, and will include this fix as an optional file when the blueprint is released.
You may also notice that there are some extra objects used in the build that are not normally available. These are all vanilla objects that have been added via the console, and will not require any additional mods if using the blueprint (when available).
Overall really pleased with how this turned out (even if it did seem to take forever to get done), and surprised for its size the game still runs reasonably well 😁

The blueprint for this settlement is now available on Nexusmods: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/56791
Love the build by any chance is there a blue print mod like this one for PS4? Because I love this build too much❤
@@Bush-Man94528 Great to hear you love the build, unfortunately the mod I use to export these as blueprints requires the script extender and so is PC only.
This is one of the greatest builds I've ever seen. Not even Bethesda can match this.
Thank you for the very kind words, glad you enjoyed the build! 👍
- 2 raiders talking about the new Abernathy settlement
1:So, you hear about this new town that popped up near Sanctuary?
2:No, why?
1:Well get this, the place makes most of them tatos people eat in Diamond City!
2:Really? That's it?
1:Let me tell you rest it dumbass, don't interrupt!
2:Jesus, okay.
1:So anyway, place used to be a small town, just some idiots is all. They were under Ack-Ack's guidance for a few years before Mr. Vault Dweller showed up.
2:Really, what happened?
1:I'm getting there. So the guy in Blue finds the place and goes and kills everyone in Olivia to get a knick knack of sorts for the settlers.
2:What knick knack?
1:Don't know. Don't care. So, they ain't under supervision now. So Boomer sends a team down to show them who's boss few months later.
2:What happened?
1:They came down and found a whole freaking town had popped up by those Minutemen folk.
2:Damn, really?
1:Yeah really, I just said that.
2:So what happened?
1:Settlers didn't like be bossed around no more so they sent Boomer's gang back home in pieces!
2:That's wild man.
1:Totally, got any spare jet?
Seriously though, awesome work on the settlement! You did a fantastic job on Abernathy! Truly amazing! These are some of the most realistic fallout settlements I've seen built! Congrats on the place!
Loved the raider lore and awesome to hear you like the build - many thanks 😁👍
Let's be honest, this was highkey cringe
why does this actually sound realistic
Really nice build, the buildings have sensible layouts, with storefront, living and sleeping areas, nothing seems forced. I really like the greenhouse area next to the house. For me personally I’d prefer an open central area where settlers could gather for meetings or social gatherings though.
Thank you - great to hear to you liked it! 😁👍
Really well crafted. I myself dont particularly big intricate builds such as these. What I do is make the homed already found in the settlements, look more lived in by the already living tenants. Aside from guard posts/turrets. For me , Abernathy farm is an already established settlement with added furnishings. Only family members may reside here, excuse a couple Minutemen Guards to guard the place. Eniugh of my rant. Again, really well done.
I can see the appeal of doing smaller homely builds, and of course perform much so better on the games slightly ropey engine than the larger builds 😉. I wanted to challenge myself to do a large build here and try and create small town feel, mostly in preparation for building a town at Starlight Drive In. Still great to hear you liked the build even if it’s not your preferred style, thanks! 👍😁
This is a literal village! Oh I wish this was a mod. Thankyou for sharing.
Glad you liked it, thanks! If you are on PC you can use the Transfer Settlement Blueprints mod to import this build into your game, and have blueprints for all my other builds as well - www.nexusmods.com/users/6575660?tab=user+files.
@@FiddleflapsVids your so kind Thankyou! Sadly I’m on PS4. Thankyou for your hours and hours of your time doing these builds.
This is not a settlement anymore. This is a fortress. And it’s probably my favorite build of yours so far. I absolutely love the lower downtown part of the farm.
Many thanks! I felt the fortifications made sense as a settlement producing this much food would be a tempting target for raiders. Really happy with how it turned out (even if it did seem to take forever) and great to hear you liked it 😁👍
Another impressive build. Honestly, the coolest thing here for me was what you did with the main Abernathy tower home. Inspired and awesome. Sweet work.
Glad you liked it - many thanks! Have to admit the main house is also my favourite part of the build and really pleased with how it ended up 😁
Awesome build!!!! So much detail I love that it's a minuteman town. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad you liked it - many thanks! 😁👍
Welcome to the town of Abernathy... unbelievable settlement build
Thanks! 🙏😁
Great attention to the details. Never thought of building on top of the main structure .
Thanks! Always thought it was odd that you can not snap to what look like standard vanilla building pieces on the roof. Looks like the Abernathy’s started construction but never could around to finishing, so did the job for them 😉
Really awesome build. Feels really natural to the Fallout world.
Great to hear you enjoyed it, many thanks! 👍😁
Dude this build is insane, like HOLY SHIT well done. The attention to detail is absolutely immaculate.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
This is a masterpiece ! 👍 Congratulations on you !
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 👍😁
an excellent construction job all your buildings have a difference in personality the decoration corresponds very well to this theme for me one of my best that i like thank you for the patage and i wish you a very nice merry christmas and a happy new year my friend
Many thanks for checking out the build, really pleased to hear you liked it! Have a great Christmas and I look forward to seeing what imaginative builds you have in store for us in the new year! 😁
This is such an inspiring build! Outstanding job!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 😁
Love it. Can't wait until I'm done with my Sim Settlements 2 playthrough, and get back to what I really like.
Thank you!! 😁👍
Only a fellow level designer or environmental artist can make a settlement that incorporates this seamlessly into the game world. Either that or you should become one.
Thank you for the very kind words, and great to hear you liked the build! 🙏😊
Incredible!! I love this town! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! The land is a lot bigger than I thought!
Must admit this got a little out of hand, but the settlement gives you so much space that I could not help trying to use it all 😅
Wow! Your settlement builds are great, I’ve always wanted to make mine realistic but feared I would run out of resources for my weapons and armor aha. It must take you ages to think of where and what to place In them.
I’ve read your videos description and It says you only use the place everywhere mod - could the settlement builds look as good, if not similar without using that mod? I’d like to recreate them on my un-modded game :)
Awesome to hear you are enjoying the builds - many thanks! There are some very talented people who have built some amazing settlements, using just the vanilla building mechanics and the various building glitches. So it’s totally possible to create builds similar to mine (if not better), without using Place Everywhere or similar mods - but they do make the process much easier.
I feel my building really improved from watching SarDeliac’s ‘Building in Vanilla’ streams, and learned a lot from following along and then creating my own version of his Hangman’s Alley build. He also covers how to use the various building glitches, and is a great resource for tips and tricks, and on which pieces to use and which ones work well together.
He sadly no longer streams Fallout 4 but has a ton content (his Methods and Techniques series although old is also really good), and well worth checking out if you want to build without mods:
th-cam.com/channels/W5ebJUm2lJZ2p4uBvBm0eg.html
@@FiddleflapsVids thanks! I’ll check them out :)
This is incredible
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
hello, thank you for all your review videos, they made me want to start the game from scratch (but with a ton of mods). There is still one thing that bothers me, even if you do not use mods apart from the placement one, it is to do some cleaning before putting the foundations. I understand that you want to show the fact that it remains rustic but it does not make sense to leave it under construction and even less to have branches that come out of the ground. people don't leave it at home when they've bothered to take cover. it's not a reproach but I feel weird to see that. And then the scrapp mods should be given to everyone. In any case thank you again and congratulations for your nice work. Good luck...
Great to hear you have been enjoying the vids, and that they have prompted you to start a new playthrough (hopefully with some building too 😉). The aim of my current playthrough is to build at every location and be able to load that save file with no mod requirements, and it also makes life much easier for those who enjoy using my blueprints.
There have been builds where I have desperately wanted to use a scrapping or cleanup tool to remove bushes, shrubs or piles of debris (trust me, they also bother me 😔), but this would break my admittedly self-imposed restrictions. Where I can I try to either work around or incorporate them into the build, but sometimes I have no other option on where I need to place a structure and just have to accept that something is going to look little odd.
In my head I have to say 'maybe that settler really likes that bush poking through their house' (they might have even given it a name... like Bob), or that they are too lazy to pick up a broom and sweep up that old pile of leaves 🤣
@@FiddleflapsVids I fully understand your point of view and your goals and it doesn't spoil anything you do so well. And to answer your question, yes, a lot of construction, I love it. thank you for your reply. Good game...
this looks like an actual official town... wow
Thanks! 👍😁
Amazing dude, awesome as always luv it
Thank you - really happy to hear you liked it! 😁
Your fantasy is real cool!
Glad you liked it, thanks! 👍 😀
Absolutely stunning!
Many thanks - glad you liked it 😁
I love it, you did an amazing job! 👍
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful build 👏👏 Btw which mods did you use for the items? Like lamps and stuff?
Thanks! I am not using any mods that add objects (I have mod list for this playthrough linked in the video description 😉). Any objects used in the build that normally cannot be built were added using console commands.
As these objects are already in the game it means I can share my builds as blueprints and people don’t have to download a whole bunch of mods to use them 😁👍.
I hope you have fun at spectacle island XD
No idea what I am going to do with all that space at Spectacle, hopefully will be able to come up with something when I get around to building there 😉
It would be interesting to see a building tutorial of how you go about planning your layouts
Unfortunately it’s not really something I think I could do a tutorial for. When starting a new build I don’t really have any firm ideas on how its going to look, I just start throwing pieces together and see what sticks. Some building sessions it works out well, and others I end up tearing down everything I built and make no progress.
Do u play on console or PC? I have it on xbox one and dream of making settlements like this T-T Love ur work
Great to hear you are liking the builds, thanks! I play on PC but would imagine you should be able to build something very similar on Xbox as I just use vanilla and DLC assets (with a few sneaky ones spawned in via console commands).
I do also use the Place Everywhere mod to build but believe most of its main features are replicated in Place Anywhere which is available on Xbox 👍.
Just subscribed. Great videos man!
Great to hear you are liking the vids and thanks for the sub! 👍😁
Probably the best I've seen
Awesome to hear - many thanks! 😁
Nice place, also this is kinda relaxing :)
Thanks - I was really pleased with how this turned out, glad you liked it! 😀
Howdy Fiddle, another amazing settlement build! I do have a question though.
I've been tryin' to find a solution to this problem but other sources have been less than helpful. I can't seem to find the padio table nor chair while using workshop rearranged. What can I do about this?
Glad you like it, thanks! The Patio Table and Chairs are only available once you have found Picket Fences #5 magazine (located in the Weston Water Treatment Plant) even when using Workshop Rearranged. Once you have found the magazine they will appear in the Furniture > Seats > Chairs and Furniture > Tables > Recreation sections of the build menu.
One quick way to test is to type ‘player.additem 00185CEE 1’ into the console to give yourself the magazine 😉
@@FiddleflapsVids Oh! I had an inkling suspicion that that might be the case! Gonna have to run over there n' scour the place for it, then! Thanks!
amazing work
Glad you liked it! 👍
I've been waiting for this. I like it. Can not wait for the mod to be on Nexus Mods.
Thanks! Got a few minor tweaks to make but hope to have the blueprint available today 😁
This dude has to be a god, literally a genius at building.
Thank you for the far too kind words, glad you liked the build 👍😁
@@FiddleflapsVids you should do raider outposts, I would love to see what you come up with.
Pretty much all my builds are Minutemen themed as that’s who I went with for this playthrough, but I might do a raider themed build for the Nuka World Red Rocket. Would make sense for the raiders to try and regroup somewhere after being evicted from the park, and could make for an interesting change in theme.
@@FiddleflapsVids that’d be awesome, cause I need inspiration for my raiders, I’m the overboss in my play through.😂
Another nice build
Thanks for checking out the build - glad you liked it 😁
@@FiddleflapsVids You're welcome Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
So the Sunshine tidings co-op settlement that I'm currently working on will come with a theme, it'll have a Brahmin Slaughter house, Meat prep building, a food prep building , produce building , Chem lab and a distribution building. I plan on adding anywhere from 7 to 10 Brahmin, 3 Gorillas, 3 cats and 3 guard dogs. I'm debating on making two exports, one with animals and one without.
Sounds like a cool idea, be interested to see how it turns out with vanilla assets. Hope you are having a great Christmas and best wishes for the new year 👍
Nice job you made. Say can you make a settlement for the drive in movie theater for the next video? ^^
Thanks! Not sure where I’ll be building next but will likely want a smaller build before tackling another large settlement like Starlight. I do want to build at each location at least once so it will be coming - just probably not next 😉
Simply brilliant👍.
Thank you! Cheers! 😁
I would love to see a build of Covenant from you. I’m working on my own build that only uses the space outside the walls, but it’s really hard, especially since I am doing my building without mods.
Have to admit I have never known what to do with Covenant, much like Bunker Hill it’s already pretty much a complete settlement although with even less space / options to play around with. I do want to do one of these vanilla style builds at each location so will get around to trying to do something with it, but unfortunately there’s a good chance I might pass on it. 😔
Interesting idea in only using the outside space. I remember the vanilla build borders being really tight around the outer walls, so without mods I expect you are in for quite a challenge - I wish you the best for your build and hope you can come up with something interesting. 👍
@@FiddleflapsVids I tried to think of something different for it. I thought, what if people kept showing up, how would they fit? So doing a shanty town outside the wall seemed lore friendly, and challenging. I used a trailer along the back wall and put a little home in there, among some other things.
@@Thelordmagedon did a build for covenant with mod that expands settlement borders on a similar thought, basically a little town recreating pre-war that wastelanders would have to pay to enter like in a museum.
How do you keep from hitting the size limit meter? Thanks! Love your builds!
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, thanks! To reset the build limit I use an old glitch that thankfully has never been patched and also works on both PC and Consoles.
Simply drop some weapons on the ground within the settlement (Gamma Guns work great for this!), enter build mode and store the dropped weapons. Once done you can take the stored weapons out of the workbench and repeat as needed.
Do you decorate shelves manually? I have a difficult time loading middles shelves.
Awesome build
Thanks! All the decoration is placed by hand. I use Place Everywhere to disable surface snapping which I find makes placing objects on shelves much easier (although still time consuming 😔).
Suggestion: Grab shelf items and place them back on the shelves. That will attach them to the shelves and make it easier to move them around.
If you want to decorate yourself, use OC Decorator. Placing many copies of the same few clutter items will be a lot easier on your performance than placing a few pre-decorated high-poly shelves and furniture objects (and you will have more creative freedom),
You should be working on FO5 settlements
You are far too kind, thank you! Sadly I dont think we will be getting FO5 any time soon 😔
Wow…
I just turn the place into a massive hive spire.
Glad you liked it, thanks! 👍
Great job. Is this all vanilla?
Thanks! I use the Place Everywhere mod to build, but the settlement is made up of only Vanilla and DLC objects. A couple of objects used are not normally available in the standard build mode (such as the Pharmacy sign and Forklift) and were spawned in using console commands.
@@FiddleflapsVids what settlement are you working on right now?
Currently working on Outpost Zimonja and posted a couple of work in progress shots in the Community tab 😁
@@FiddleflapsVids O cool, I’ll give the video a watch. Good luck
one day ill do that to
“Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” 😉
Love this build and gonna try replicate some of it.. got stuck instantly. The first building that is connected to the brahmin fence, the red door is open invards... I cant rotate doors so it open the other way on PC... very noobish question but do i need a mod for that?
Thanks - great to hear you liked the build! I build using the Place Everywhere mod, so there might be a few things that are tricky to replicate without it. I believe for that door I used the mod to disable object snapping (press F1 by default), which allowed me to rotate and place the door so it opened inwards.
Place Everywhere can be downloaded from NexusMods - www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9424
This is crazy man what's Ur next settlement!
Thanks - this one did get a little out of hand but really happy with it! Taking short break from building and not decided where I’ll be going next (but ideally somewhere smaller!). Will most likely put up a poll in the New Year to help me pick the next spot 👍
now this is lit
Glad you liked it - thanks! 👍
You should redo the builds on your channel that dont multiple vids for them like the castle one i think it would be a good idea
It’s certainly something to think about if I manage to complete my goal of building at each location. For now I want to focus on new builds but once done may return to some older locations, as I feel my building has improved and would most likely do a few things differently. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
I have a question about localization of buildings my houses end up being part of the wall with maybe one or two buildings in the center could you give some tips on how to build in a circle like fashion?
What you describe is pretty much how I like to build 😉 Never really done much stuff involving curves but would suggest blocking out the shape you want using pre-fabs to get a rough idea of how it will look, and then build up from there.
I don’t believe you use a Place Everywhere type mod so it might be a bit tricky to build - good luck!
How were you able to build so much in this settlement? I barely did anything and the build is already full.
For most of my builds I normally reset the build limit at least 2-3 times using the weapon storage glitch. Simply drop some weapons on the ground (Gamma Guns work great for this), enter build mode and then store each of the dropped weapons.
Depending on the weapons used each one stored will slightly reduce the size bar. As the weapons are stored and not scrapped they can then be collected from a workbench and the process repeated as needed. This method works on both PC’s and consoles and requires no mods 👍😁.
amazinggg
Glad you liked it - thanks! 👍 😁
Deve ter dado muito trabalho construir tudo isso, porém tem muitas entradas e poucas guarnições. Teria que colocar umas 5 torretas potentes e de munições diferentes e ter no máximo dois portões, de preferência automáticos. Assim na hora de uma ataque o guarda soa o alarme e as entradas se fecham.
Thanks! 👍
Ive only just started playing FO4, but im wondering how you fill it up with clutter and containers? that a mod, or all painstakingly hand spawned?
All the clutter is hand placed and does unfortunately take a while (it’s my least favourite part of building) but feel it really helps to finish off a build. Thankfully I do use a mod to make the decoration static so my hard work is not undone by clumsy settlers, or those moments when a Brahmin decides to spawn in a house 🤣
@@FiddleflapsVids can only imagine. Is there a list of the item mods you use? I looked at the one linked in desc, but it doesnt list any building mods
@@cyanide7270 I don’t currently use any settlement object mods, almost all of the decorations are junk items found in the base game + DLC. There are some objects (such as the tractor, forklift) that are not available from the games standard build menus and were spawned in using the console’s ‘placethere’ command.
@@FiddleflapsVids ahkay, thanks. Picked up your Red Rocket blueprint to see how things work together, and some stuff didnt spawn in like said truck and car, some errant tires and tire walls, barrels and the phone booths etc
@@cyanide7270 All those objects are included with the blueprint and should be imported, did you have the ‘Import original items (not built by the Player)’ enabled in the TSB holotape before you stared the import?
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!
Hope you enjoyed the tour! 😁
No matter how hard I try I can't keep that darn cat alive....
Even when using a mod to disable settlement attacks I still get the odd Super Mutant patrol (usually packing miniguns!!) wandering too close and then trying to storm the place. Due to this I also use a mod mark the default settlers (and their animals) as essential so now they can’t be killed. 😁
only Place anywhere mod ,no?
CC mods arent included in this?
Correct, only *Place Everywhere* was used to make this there are no settlement object mods used. There are some objects used that you normally cannot build which were added using console commands, which I do mention in the video description 😉👍.
Using this blueprint, there is no wire connected to the settlement, so how can I solve this?
Have you completed the ‘Returning the Favor’ quest from Blake Abernathy to unlock the settlement? I have heard of this happening at other locations and the fix was to complete the locations ‘unlock’ quest.
@@FiddleflapsVids The "Returning the Favor" mission has already been completed. Even if I went out and reconnected, the wires were not connected equally. I don't know how to deal with this situation.
@@user-zj9fl1jz2d I am guessing you have the ‘'Import wired power connections' option enabled within Transfer Settlements holotape? Would also suggest inspecting the settlements workbench to open build mode at least once, then try importing the settlement again.
what is the level of happiness in your settlements?
It varies slightly between settlements but usually a couple of points above the standard 80 cap depending on how many happiness generating objects I place.
@@FiddleflapsVids thx)
So you basically took this guys land and built it up without his permission and brought in a small army.
Personally feel Blake and his family have done quite well out of the deal, somehow don’t think raiders will a problem anymore 😉
By the way is any of your mods compatible with Sim Settlements 2?
I have not got around to playing with SS2 yet so have not tested, but I believe as they are vanilla settlements they should work together.

How do you get so many views?
I just post videos for fun and hope others will enjoy them or find them useful, and extremely grateful for the views and comments the channel does get. It’s been running for just over a year now with the views starting low, and they just slowly increased over time as I released more content. I guess the more content you post the better chance you have of people finding your channel, and hopefully liking what they see and want to return to see new stuff.
@@FiddleflapsVids thanks for the advice I appreciate it, I came across your channel yesterday and was impressed with your videos and view count. I started posting mine last month and I’m trying to figure out how TH-cam’s algorithms work but like you said the more videos we post the higher chance people have of finding our channels.. Anyway thanks for taking the time to reply 🙏
