I love the sense of community that that build conveys. A real feeling of a group of people who have come together to overcome the challenges of living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Absolutely fabulous work!
With all your work, i wouldn't be shook if you just turned half a wrecked house into a fortress, lmfao. I really gotta appreciate how considerate you are of these challenging terrains. I love how this is more quality than quantity. No overcomplex, towering structures that nearly reach the sky, it just feels natural. It's really like what wastelanders would actually try to make for a home. They don't wanna make something too pretty, they just wanna have somewhere to sleep. And God, do i love making lore pieces for these settlements, too, lol Amazing job, as always, Fiddles!
Thanks! I try to make use of and work with the existing terrain rather forcing a design upon it (if that makes sense 😅), find it helps to make the structures look like they naturally belong there and not out of place. I had always intended for this to be a fairly simple and low-key build, just seemed right for the location and its original purpose of a small farming settlement. I did play around with adding a greenhouse and barn but they just felt too large and kind of overwhelmed the settlement.
This actually looks like what a bunch of dedicated wastelanders would put together after a year. Most settlements people make are just unrealistic large settlements because they forget that it is hard to build such large structures with the materials they use. You never dissapoint with these settlements
Sometimes I do like the large unrealistic builds because the seem like what fallout would do (also the game has a giant freaking death robot so I don’t think a lack of rebar is too unrealistic)
I do quite enjoy his settlement videos. So much more realistic than the OMFGawd-sized concrete builds that some people make. I did those too when I first started out. I would ring each settlement with concrete foundation blocks, and then hide all my settlers 4-5 stories high on a HUGE platform in the sky. I would then make large bunkhouse with tons of sleeping bags. Then I found SarDeliac's TH-cam channel, and his scrappy build style just opened my eyes to the joy of making a realistic-ish scrappy Fallout settlement. Plus a ton of building mods make it fresh each time I roll up a new character.
The finished build looks amazing! There's so much intentionality behind this - seems like every item and structure has a purpose. Appreciate you sharing this and giving us some building inspiration!
You are my hero. You are one of the main reasons I am reinstalling Fallout 4 and making a collection called Fallout 4.5. And you are the wind beneath my wings.
Well done! This location is pretty much just a flat, boring square, but you have successfully turned it into something interesting. This layout is much better than mine, and you always nail that complex look of the buildings and the decoration using minimal build pieces and items.
Man not even gonna lie, you deserved so much more views. These settlements are great, they have a lot of time and effort put into them. Thanks for your hard work making these 😄
These are beautiful. They are very hopeful. The game probably can't measure the beauty of this as far as Settlement happiness, but this really does feel inspiring. You really are rebuilding the wasteland one settlement at a time. Preston Garvey really does owe you a debt of gratitude. I've built 80% of this on Xbox one, using Place anywhere following 1 through 6 so far. I thought i would just lift a few tricks(the use of scaffolding mixing into the awnings etc, awesome) but now I feel like I am a disciple and understanding the philosophy. All my buildings before this from 2015 are like giant forts with sleeping quarters for farmers and soldiers. Trying to build these is like doing a Master Study of a Painting.
Love it as always! Somerville Place next maybe? Or another one of the Far Harbor locations? Or the very ambitious spectacle island? Either way I’m excited as always for what you come up with next, you’re by far the best settlement builder in the entire Fallout community!
Thank you! Not sure what I’ll be doing next, but will be taking a short break before picking a new location. Have a couple of ideas for the Nuka World Red Rocket floating around in my head that I would like to try out, although I am a huge fan of Far Harbor and really enjoyed building at Echo Lake so could possibly head over there 😊.
@@FiddleflapsVids i definitely wouldnt mind having the next couple builds be DLC ones, specifically old longfellows cabin as a base of operations for Far Harbor as you get it early on in the DLC
I love how with your builds it feels like something that fits seamlessly into the Commonwealth, like Diamond City. If you told me this was the base game, I'd believe you.
I love the vibe this settlement has. It looks like a bunch of wastelanders could really feel like they belong in here. I like how immersive this build is. Well done!
Great to hear you liked it and are looking forward to trying out the blueprint, should be on Nexus in a day or two so plenty of time to get the settlement unlocked 😉😁.
God your work is so impressive. I'm now bummed we have to wait a few months before the next build starts 😭 I keep going back and forth wishing you used just a few extra mods to give us just a little more variety in the tile sets/shapes in your builds? Woody's Wasteland Stuff and Thematic and Practical spring to mind. I keep thinking having access to those pieces would dramatically improve the dynamism of your builds. But then I stop myself and think: maybe it's the limits of having to work with the vanilla pieces that make you so much more creative than most Fallout builders. I dunno. Some day I'd love to see a one off modded settlement build in between the others, just to see what you'd do with it. Either way, keep up the good work!! Your builds are an inspiration
Thanks! Not sure when the next build will be but need to take breaks to try and avoid burn out, that and attempt to work my way through the ever increasing list of games that I buy during Steam sales but never end up playing through 😳😅. I have to confess that I am tempted to do more modded builds, but my biggest fear is that even if I do a one off then I wont want to go back to these vanilla style ones. It also makes the blueprints less appealing if people are forced to download mods they potentially don’t want to use my builds.
Can you build on top of the highway above finchfarm? It would be cool if you could build an elevator to the top of the highway while stil looking believable. I love your settlement builds, I think they are the best out there!
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, many thanks! It’s unlikely I’ll be building on the overpass when I get to Finch Farm, mostly for the same reasons as I did not do the same at Graygarden. I have never seen a good method outside of using mods to get up there without constructing some vast tower, and sadly that really does not fit with the theme of how I like my builds to look. Depending on how much of the build space is used I could easily see Spectacle Island taking around 6 months to complete (I spent 3 months each Sanctuary, Starlight and Vault 88), and will probably be the last build I attempt in this series.
You could maybe build stairs around the support beams of the overpass hidden in a structure that looks similar to that of abernathy farm, but if it isnt going to look good or you need mods for it its not worth trying.
Cool build! If you're not already working on something else, I'd personally suggest Finch Farm! You can build on the overpass above it and settlers actually have pathing and can use stairs to get up there. Crops, defenses, and a few residences on the bottom, shops, bar, and more residences at the top.
Thanks! Currently on a short building break at the moment (plus the 'next-gen' update has killed my interest in the game until things stabilise) and not sure where I’ll build next. Must admit I have never been a fan of overpass builds at either Finch Farm or Graygarden, as the large towers needed to reach them just are not in the style of settlements I like to build. I’ll certainly give it a go when I get to Finch Farm to see if I can come up with a design, but most likely I’ll be sticking to just ground level like I did at Graygarden.
this looks and feels very much like a prairie version of Tenpines Bluff - with an injection of Abernathy DNA. Which is great, because these two settlements are some of your best works. This one fits right in and continues your streak of impressive lore-friebdly settlement designs. So if you approached this settlement with some concern because this Location gives you so little to work with, you should know that you nailed it once again. I especially like what you did with the armoury - how you used outside wall elements to create separate rooms on the inside. This is a new little trick in your repertoire I think. I like it, use it more often! Havings said that, this might be the one settlement where i will change the most in my playthrough. I can't shake the idea that this palace should be a scrapyard. Therefore once I get to it, i will go in with workshop rearranged, keep your buildings but peel away the outer walls of ehe settlement to replace them with barricades made of wrecked cars, and use large scrap pieces as structural elements to give this place a proper scrapyard identity.
Thanks! One of the things I love about Transfer Settlements is it gives people the ability to expand upon what I have built, or change them to better suit the needs of their own playthrough. Would be cool if you could add some user submitted images to the mod page once you are done (and I have uploaded the blueprint), as I would love to see the changes you make 👍😁.
Love your style. It fits sooo well with the overall look of the game. Congrats man. I'm just learning now and I've been trying to "copy" some of your design; what a talent. Priceless. I wish I could have the "place everywhere" but I'm using PS... crap :( I love the videos where we can see while you build. Keep'em coming. New subscriber her. CHeers
Great to hear you have been enjoying the builds, thanks! I must admit building never really ‘clicked’ for me until I started using Place Everywhere. It’s still possible to create some amazing pure vanilla builds, you just need a bit more patience than I have and make use of the various building glitches. I believe the closest alternative to Place Everywhere for PS is QwaPA, from I have seen it does seem to have a bit of learning curve but might be able to provide you with some more building options 👍 mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4038979
Coming back and rewatching this, I really love the bar right by the entrance. I love the build set bethesda gave us, but i often feel that all the big open windows and holes in the walls/roofs aren't particularly realistic/authentic to survivors trying to eke out a living in a post apocalyptic wasteland. You wouldn't want a big ol gaping whole into your front foyer, just cause a house is, ideally, supposed to keep wind and rain outside, let alone radstorms. Houses before glass was common generally did not have large windows, if they had them at all, and what windows they did have had shutters that could be closed tightly at night/during inclement weather. The way this space felt cozy and lived in, and doesn't look claustrophobic, while still feeling secure and buttoned up feels really nice! I hope we get to see more like that!
I remember when I first starting building the lack of window pieces along with how open they were did really bother me, and that they should at least have some form of shutter to help keep the elements out 🥶🤣.
@@FiddleflapsVids the fact they didn't include some kind of raging fireplace or hearth, for housing that has no demonstrable form of internal heating, is wild to me. Previous Fallout survivors always had fairly sensible housing, it might not have modern insulation, and it might be a little gloomy, but you never felt like anyone was going to catch hypothermia or freeze overnight. The settlers in FO4, I s2g, live in more hostile conditions than the most desperate Fiend in the Mojave 😂😂😂
@@FiddleflapsVids I think I remember seeing Fallout4Guy use one of the wooden beach loungers (unsure if that's a buildable piece in vanilla or just a vanilla asset) turned 90°-so that the back rest is hanging down, like a drunk capital L 😂-as an open overhanging shutter. You obviously couldn't use that on the half-floor deep wooden shack windows, but on a single pane warehouse/barn or concrete window wall, it would fit. You'd have to figure out how to hide the top bit of the lounger without it obviously glitching through the wall, but I feel like if anyone could pull that off, you could. I guess a resized single-floor piece re-angled could work too, or the beige solid fence piece, all would work as a kind of awning that you could drop down to cover a window
@@Thebluebridgetroll I can see your thinking with the beach loungers, and the back rest would make an ideal window shutter if only the base frame and legs could be removed or hidden. Had a brief play with rotating some plywood boards 45° and then adding some conduits as supports. Looked a little off but roughly had the same look, so might dig around the Creation Kit and see if I can find some more suitable pieces I could use . Only issue is it does largely block the view from the window, and I hate rotating pieces as its so fiddly to get right. Still might be something I can add in a few spots in future builds 👍
Awesome to see it complete :O Really like how the terrain is being used, like the mutfruid farm. Just out of curiousity, I took a peak at your mod list with your frame uncapper stuff, what fps are you running at and how often do you run into issues? (I was thinking about trying it myself but have been unsure how stable the game will be)
Great to hear you liked it, thanks! I have almost always used the mod with the cap set to 60, and mostly use it to take advantage of reduced loading times and stutter removal. I have played around using a 120 and 144 cap and not noticed any issues, but this was not for an extended period so cant say for certain if I would get problems if played for longer. As the mod is an F4SE plugin its reasonably safe to play around with or remove, plus if you encountered issues its easy to just edit the mods INI file and reduce the FPS cap.
@@FiddleflapsVids Fast response, dope. Yeah I am actually fiddling with it right now, going to cap it to 100fps and maybe try gsync. I think recently the fact that I played Helldivers 2 and Cyberpunk at 100-120fps has made going back to 60fps a little painful personally.
Always love your builds. Feels so homey. I was building along with you, but unfortunatly the new update took out my place anywhere mod and cant find it again. Sad day. But still enjoy your content
I really like what you do. Thank you very much for your work. I only use your settlements, as they are the most harmonious and atmospheric. By the way, will you be posting the settlement on nexus soon?
I can surely relate to living a serene life like this ..its fascinating how a game can create a sense of serenity ... Love the over All vibe of this place Would love to know if you Have a sort of a lore for these builds?? I can help you write it or maybe write it myself totally if you like , would love to listen to some narrate a lore of some sort while Doing this settlement tours (just a thought) As always, Love
Thanks, great to hear you liked it! I have tried and failed at adding narration to my vids, fear it would make them worse rather than improve them so prefer to stay mute 😶🤣. I don’t really come up with much lore or backstories for my builds, just mainly enough to justify what type of settlement it will be and the structures within it. For this place I thought that people would initially be drawn by the farm, and as the settlement is next to a route into downtown the marketplace grew up round the farm to attract and supply passing travellers.
I had taken your advice and was building up county crossing, too. Sadly I was using mods and my fallout is broken from the new update so I can't finish the settlement.
Sorry to hear that, hopefully mod updates will come soon. I was prepared and had my game folder backed up and the update blocked, but I guess that’s not an option if you are on console.
@@grubert3535 In that case there are two methods I have seen on Nexus to revert the ‘upgrade’: *Fallout 4 Downgrader* www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81630 *STEAM - Skip Next-Gen update* www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81471 Personally I don’t like the idea of entering my Steam details into a separate app to use the downgrader tool, but they do provide a manual method and would go for that. The instructions don’t seem that clear or complete on either page, so would recommend reading both as one misses some download depots for the DLC’s, and the other does not tell you what to do with the downloaded files.
@@FiddleflapsVids thanks homie I really appreciate that. If you have a discord server or something I'd love to share with you the settlement screenshots when I get the chance.
@@grubert3535 No probs, hope you can get it working. I don’t use Discord but you could message me on Nexus if you wanted to share some screenshots of your build when its ready 👍.
I am impressed with your work and such but at the same time im semi interested to know what you would do with like way less mods open to you, place anywhere is super nice, but what if you didnt have it? im sure you still make nice shit
Thanks… I think 🤔😉. The only mod I use for my settlements is Place Everywhere, without it I would not be building in the game. I have never enjoyed struggling with and trying to work around the vanilla building mechanics, it’s just not fun for me.
@@FiddleflapsVids ah still think your builds are beautiful maybe a place anywhere with the flat and smooth settlements once your done building eveywhere change the locations up and see what your build is like then
You are very observant and smart in using space so that your settlement looks aesthetic and functional... it feels neat even with a scrappy vibe 🤩👍 just advice; try to use a variety of textures, materials & colors, because even though the structure of your building is quite varied, it looks a bit monotonous, this is due to excessive use of assets that have a wooden nuance, whether the material is actually wood, or the texture and color are similar to wood ✌
Do you as you build these settlements, still play the game through and loot for resources to build with? If so I'd love to see it. Some silent gameplay of you just looting away between the settlements :)
I stopped ‘playing’ this save a long time ago and just use it for building so now add all the resources I need via console commands. My first couple of settlements were built with ‘legitimately’ gained resources and I do miss going on scavenging runs. With the builds taking as long as they do, I sadly dont really have the time do it anymore. I am still amazed anybody watches my silent build vids, and cannot imagine many wanting to watch me just gather resources… but its very kind of you to suggest 👍😊.
Its actually mad how good you make these builds look 😂 I play on xbox and wish that the place everywhere mod was on there, looks so handy, I use the place anywhere mod, but it just isnt the same, the snapping isnt great and you cant do the incremental up and downs with the building pieces but I try my best! Shame you cant download blueprints into xbox either! Im stuck following your builds for hours on end step by step like lego 😂 keep up the good work, the builds are amazing!
@@WykedJester75 Yes, the last update from the author is that they have a working test build that is currently being tested. They don’t give an ETA only that it will be released when done: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22442/?tab=posts
Started watching this series recently and all your builds are amazing. I see you said the only mod used is Place Anywhere. Do you happen to use anything else like Creative Clutter for decoration? If not, I am in awe of the vast amount of time you spend placing deco. Also does Place Anywhere (or any other mod) include the feature of making all your decoration items fixed after placement so they can't fall or be knocked around?
Thank you! All the decoration is regular junk items that I have hand placed and then made static using Place *Everywhere* (Place *Anywhere* is a different mod 😉).
Thank you! The tiny batter statue is the regular one just scaled down. Theres also a cappy statue (10:10) along with a vault boy and girl (11:32) on the shelves of some other houses that were added using the same method 😊.
If I complete my goal of building at every location, then The Castle along with a few of my other earlier builds are on my list of locations I would like to rebuild.
Not too sure as I have the update blocked, but I would guess that you would need to wait for whatever mod adds that category to be updated. Not used it myself but have seen there is a downgrade tool on Nexus if you are on PC, not sure you can roll back if on console.
I am still using it with no problems... although I was well prepared and had the ‘update’ blocked 😉😆 There is an unstable F4SE version for the update that came out today. I believe it’s mostly for mod authors to provide feedback and bug reports, and any plugins requiring F4SE would have to be updated before they could use it. For more and future updates would suggest checking the F4SE Nexus page: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42147?tab=posts
Are you using the newly updated version of Place Everywhere? If so the _Extra Object Selection Mode_ and _Precise Movement_ features are currently broken. Objects that could be removed using Place Everywhere can also be removed by selecting and then disabling them in the console (don’t use mark for delete!).
@@FiddleflapsVids listen, about a month ago I built a house in Diamond City and saw that when modifying power armor, it says that I have no resources, but with the workbench for armor and weapons everything is fine, do you know why this could be?
@@HiNoobUA Are you trying to use the Power Armour Station outside Home Plate in the marketplace? If so I believe it’s not linked to any workbench (much like the random stations you can find out in the world), so unless you have the required resources in your inventory you won’t able craft or modify your armour.
@@FiddleflapsVids I'm trying to use the station inside the house and not outside. But I can’t understand why the power armor station doesn’t see the resources
Not really, I think the only settlements I had areas specifically for the player was at Outpost Zimonja and Vault 88. I was always fond of returning to Home Plate and still use it as my home base, with its workbench being an unorganised nightmare of all the random junk I picked up over my travels.
@@deprive-999x I have completed 27 locations so have 10 left to build at, would also like reattempt some of my earlier builds as I feel I could do a better job of them now. I always thought that Fiddlers Green would make for a cool settlement, along with rebuilding Quincy for the Minutemen after clearing out the Gunners.
lol, even without settlers the games engine is capable of doing the same just by the player fast travelling into an area 😆. Thankfully I use the Place Everywhere mod which allows me to make all the objects I place static, no way I would spend all the time I do decorating these builds without it.
@@Jstar7771 Correct, always though it odd you cant use ‘console commands’ on consoles 😉🤣. There are several locations that respawn every couple of in game days that are good for junk / scrap farming, along with buying shipments from the various vendors.
Hello friend, firstly I wanted to thank you for making your settlements available for download, I would soon make a donation on the nexus as a form of thanks. One question, my PC drops FPS in some settlements, which PC configuration do you use? I would like to know if there is any way to remove the bottlenecks.
I built my current PC about a year ago which has a Ryzen 7 7000, 32GB DDR5 (PC6000), GeForce RTX 4080 with the game running on an NVMe drive. I run a fairly light mod list (link in description) with the ones most effecting performance being Buffout 4, Physics High FPS Fix and some INI tweaks to godrays. Regardless of hardware there does seem to be a limit to how much the games engine will take advantage of it, and very large settlement builds can still cause frame drops. I have found the games shadow setting to be one of the biggest performance drains, and lowering from Ultra to either High or Medium can really help raise and smooth out performance. Try to avoid any mods that break the games pre-combined mesh system such as Scrap Everything, at best this will cause minor stutters and in worst cases large performance drops as it forces the game to render more.
I would probably choose either County Crossing as its reasonably close to Boston Airport, or Sunshine Tidings due to its remote location being a safer place to grow a large amount of crops without drawing unwanted attention from raiders.
@@FiddleflapsVids is both oké too? BTW for the railroad mercer safe house it was Coastal Cottage right? Or would you recommend another one?? Sorry to Bother you with these questions, ill have some more about nuka world raiders too if you dont mind. Do you have discord if you prefer that?
@@ChezGames It really does not affect the game so you can choose as many or little as you like, as I typically play for the Minutement I don’t claim any settlements for the BOS. You don’t get to choose the location of Mercer Safe house, its depending on what level you are and the settlements you have unlocked. In various playthoughs I have had Croup Manor, Jamaica Plain and Coastal Cottage assigned as the safehouse.
I’m curious if you play on PC with an Xbox Controller or on a Xbox? I’ve been trying to find the “Place Everywhere” mod but can’t find it on the mods menu.
I am on PC, due to requiring the Script Extender Place Everywhere is not available for console. Closest alternatives would be Place Anywhere on Xbox and QwaPA for PS.
Is there any way to transfer settlements from one save to another on Xbox?, I like a lot of your settlements and want to build them myself but I don’t want to have to build them again every new save 😅
@@FiddleflapsVids ok so I downloaded it, and apparently (i could be wrong because I have no idea what I’m doing) I can only build a settlement using a layout that I have downloaded(?) and I don’t think I can just save what I’ve built and move it over. Why does everything have to be confusing
@@wraith6135 I am not that familiar with the mod but after looking into it a little it appears on Xbox you can only import layouts, and the exporting of layouts is only available to the PC version 😔.
bro i use ALL of you settlement blueprints and im begging you to please create a spectacle island blueprint its the only settlement that i cant find an immersive, well-made blueprint for
Great to hear you have been enjoying the blueprints, thanks! I am not sure when or even if I’ll get around to Spectacle Island. It’s such a large area to fill and unfortunately I just don’t find it that much of an interesting location.
@@stokeley7710 Theres still a good chance that I’ll get to it at some point, as I do want to have built at every location… it’s just one of those places that I keep putting off 😅
New update arrived and i have to create a new game now. My old save for some reason started to make sound reallt stronght my ps4 when i play even in places without a lot stuff. I dont know what bethesda changed but i only wish that it is the ñast because all mods are broken again.

@@H.Zolomon I regularly reset full size bars multiple times on all my settlements and never had an issue, for the small amount you need to do I would not expect it to cause problems. Maybe make a hard save before doing so just in case something goes wrong?
@@H.Zolomon Yes, I am on PC, although even on PC extremely large settlements can cause frame drops and crashes. For each settlement I try to not overbuild to ensure it can run at 60FPS, but I am lucky that my PC allows me to build a lot without slowing down or crashes.
It’s unlikely that the blueprints will need to be updated for the new version of the game. Once F4SE and Transfer Settlement Blueprints are updated they should (hopefully) work fine as they just use Vanilla and DLC assets. Based on comments made by the F4SE team it might take them a while to get it updated, and then we would have to wait even further for other authors to update their mods. If you really want to play with mods I would suggest rolling back the update and blocking any possible future ones until mod updates are ready. The games newest ‘update’ really does not offer much for PC owners so by using it all you are really doing is limiting the choice of mods available to you.
My creative process is basically a lot of trial and error, and just start throwing pieces together and see what happens. Sometimes this works out great, but usually involves lots of building and then tearing stuff down until I get something that feels right. So if you are building something and you don’t think it’s working out, don’t be afraid to tear it down and try again. Like any skill the more you practice the better you will get 👍
lol, thanks! If you are on PC all my settlements are available as blueprints that can be imported into your game, and if not hopefully the videos can provide a few ideas that you could use for your own 👍
I stopped ‘playing’ this save file a long time ago and just use it for building now, so add all the resources and junk items for decoration via console commands 😳😅.
The blueprint for this settlement is now available on Nexusmods: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81850
I love the sense of community that that build conveys. A real feeling of a group of people who have come together to overcome the challenges of living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Absolutely fabulous work!
Many thanks! 🙏😁
With all your work, i wouldn't be shook if you just turned half a wrecked house into a fortress, lmfao. I really gotta appreciate how considerate you are of these challenging terrains.
I love how this is more quality than quantity. No overcomplex, towering structures that nearly reach the sky, it just feels natural. It's really like what wastelanders would actually try to make for a home. They don't wanna make something too pretty, they just wanna have somewhere to sleep. And God, do i love making lore pieces for these settlements, too, lol
Amazing job, as always, Fiddles!
Thanks! I try to make use of and work with the existing terrain rather forcing a design upon it (if that makes sense 😅), find it helps to make the structures look like they naturally belong there and not out of place.
I had always intended for this to be a fairly simple and low-key build, just seemed right for the location and its original purpose of a small farming settlement. I did play around with adding a greenhouse and barn but they just felt too large and kind of overwhelmed the settlement.
This actually looks like what a bunch of dedicated wastelanders would put together after a year. Most settlements people make are just unrealistic large settlements because they forget that it is hard to build such large structures with the materials they use. You never dissapoint with these settlements
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, many thanks! 🙏😊
Sometimes I do like the large unrealistic builds because the seem like what fallout would do (also the game has a giant freaking death robot so I don’t think a lack of rebar is too unrealistic)
Looks like something out of a mad max movie. Good job
I do quite enjoy his settlement videos. So much more realistic than the OMFGawd-sized concrete builds that some people make. I did those too when I first started out. I would ring each settlement with concrete foundation blocks, and then hide all my settlers 4-5 stories high on a HUGE platform in the sky. I would then make large bunkhouse with tons of sleeping bags. Then I found SarDeliac's TH-cam channel, and his scrappy build style just opened my eyes to the joy of making a realistic-ish scrappy Fallout settlement. Plus a ton of building mods make it fresh each time I roll up a new character.
I pretty much use all of your blueprints as they are damn superior! keep up the great work

These are beautiful. They are very hopeful. The game probably can't measure the beauty of this as far as Settlement happiness, but this really does feel inspiring. You really are rebuilding the wasteland one settlement at a time. Preston Garvey really does owe you a debt of gratitude. I've built 80% of this on Xbox one, using Place anywhere following 1 through 6 so far. I thought i would just lift a few tricks(the use of scaffolding mixing into the awnings etc, awesome) but now I feel like I am a disciple and understanding the philosophy. All my buildings before this from 2015 are like giant forts with sleeping quarters for farmers and soldiers. Trying to build these is like doing a Master Study of a Painting.
Great to hear you have been enjoying the builds and that they have been of some use for your own, many thanks! 🙏😁
Love it as always! Somerville Place next maybe? Or another one of the Far Harbor locations? Or the very ambitious spectacle island? Either way I’m excited as always for what you come up with next, you’re by far the best settlement builder in the entire Fallout community!
Thank you! Not sure what I’ll be doing next, but will be taking a short break before picking a new location. Have a couple of ideas for the Nuka World Red Rocket floating around in my head that I would like to try out, although I am a huge fan of Far Harbor and really enjoyed building at Echo Lake so could possibly head over there 😊.
@@FiddleflapsVids i definitely wouldnt mind having the next couple builds be DLC ones, specifically old longfellows cabin as a base of operations for Far Harbor as you get it early on in the DLC
@@longlostvampire3228 old longfellow's would be sick! So looking forward to that
I love how with your builds it feels like something that fits seamlessly into the Commonwealth, like Diamond City. If you told me this was the base game, I'd believe you.
I hope to make settlements blend and fit in with the existing game world and not look out of place, so that’s great to hear! Much appreciated! 🙏😁
i love your builds can't wait to see your other projects
Thanks! 😁👍
I love the vibe this settlement has. It looks like a bunch of wastelanders could really feel like they belong in here. I like how immersive this build is. Well done!
Many thanks! 🙏😁
Another must have on my list can't wait, haven't been /or gotten the quest yet for County Crossing (I'm kinda holding off😆) great work ....Thank you👍
Great to hear you liked it and are looking forward to trying out the blueprint, should be on Nexus in a day or two so plenty of time to get the settlement unlocked 😉😁.
God your work is so impressive. I'm now bummed we have to wait a few months before the next build starts 😭
I keep going back and forth wishing you used just a few extra mods to give us just a little more variety in the tile sets/shapes in your builds? Woody's Wasteland Stuff and Thematic and Practical spring to mind. I keep thinking having access to those pieces would dramatically improve the dynamism of your builds. But then I stop myself and think: maybe it's the limits of having to work with the vanilla pieces that make you so much more creative than most Fallout builders. I dunno. Some day I'd love to see a one off modded settlement build in between the others, just to see what you'd do with it.
Either way, keep up the good work!! Your builds are an inspiration
Thanks! Not sure when the next build will be but need to take breaks to try and avoid burn out, that and attempt to work my way through the ever increasing list of games that I buy during Steam sales but never end up playing through 😳😅.
I have to confess that I am tempted to do more modded builds, but my biggest fear is that even if I do a one off then I wont want to go back to these vanilla style ones. It also makes the blueprints less appealing if people are forced to download mods they potentially don’t want to use my builds.
@@FiddleflapsVids I would just keep making vanilla builds until you have done all settlements, there cant be that many settlements left right?.....
As always suberb work fiddleflap. Always love to see what you do with the different locations.
Many thanks! 🙏😁
Awesome ! Big fan of your work !
Glad you enjoy the builds, many thanks! 🙏😁
Absolutely fabulous! Very nicely done.
Thank you very much!
Can you build on top of the highway above finchfarm? It would be cool if you could build an elevator to the top of the highway while stil looking believable.
I love your settlement builds, I think they are the best out there!
Btw, I hope you do Somervile, Warwick and Finch before spectacle island. I think spectacle island is going to be a lot more work...
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, many thanks! It’s unlikely I’ll be building on the overpass when I get to Finch Farm, mostly for the same reasons as I did not do the same at Graygarden. I have never seen a good method outside of using mods to get up there without constructing some vast tower, and sadly that really does not fit with the theme of how I like my builds to look.
Depending on how much of the build space is used I could easily see Spectacle Island taking around 6 months to complete (I spent 3 months each Sanctuary, Starlight and Vault 88), and will probably be the last build I attempt in this series.
You could maybe build stairs around the support beams of the overpass hidden in a structure that looks similar to that of abernathy farm, but if it isnt going to look good or you need mods for it its not worth trying.
Cool build! If you're not already working on something else, I'd personally suggest Finch Farm! You can build on the overpass above it and settlers actually have pathing and can use stairs to get up there. Crops, defenses, and a few residences on the bottom, shops, bar, and more residences at the top.
Thanks! Currently on a short building break at the moment (plus the 'next-gen' update has killed my interest in the game until things stabilise) and not sure where I’ll build next. Must admit I have never been a fan of overpass builds at either Finch Farm or Graygarden, as the large towers needed to reach them just are not in the style of settlements I like to build.
I’ll certainly give it a go when I get to Finch Farm to see if I can come up with a design, but most likely I’ll be sticking to just ground level like I did at Graygarden.
this looks and feels very much like a prairie version of Tenpines Bluff - with an injection of Abernathy DNA. Which is great, because these two settlements are some of your best works. This one fits right in and continues your streak of impressive lore-friebdly settlement designs. So if you approached this settlement with some concern because this Location gives you so little to work with, you should know that you nailed it once again. I especially like what you did with the armoury - how you used outside wall elements to create separate rooms on the inside. This is a new little trick in your repertoire I think. I like it, use it more often!
Havings said that, this might be the one settlement where i will change the most in my playthrough. I can't shake the idea that this palace should be a scrapyard. Therefore once I get to it, i will go in with workshop rearranged, keep your buildings but peel away the outer walls of ehe settlement to replace them with barricades made of wrecked cars, and use large scrap pieces as structural elements to give this place a proper scrapyard identity.
Thanks! One of the things I love about Transfer Settlements is it gives people the ability to expand upon what I have built, or change them to better suit the needs of their own playthrough. Would be cool if you could add some user submitted images to the mod page once you are done (and I have uploaded the blueprint), as I would love to see the changes you make 👍😁.
Love your style. It fits sooo well with the overall look of the game. Congrats man. I'm just learning now and I've been trying to "copy" some of your design; what a talent. Priceless. I wish I could have the "place everywhere" but I'm using PS... crap :(
I love the videos where we can see while you build. Keep'em coming. New subscriber her. CHeers
Great to hear you have been enjoying the builds, thanks! I must admit building never really ‘clicked’ for me until I started using Place Everywhere. It’s still possible to create some amazing pure vanilla builds, you just need a bit more patience than I have and make use of the various building glitches.
I believe the closest alternative to Place Everywhere for PS is QwaPA, from I have seen it does seem to have a bit of learning curve but might be able to provide you with some more building options 👍
mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4038979
Coming back and rewatching this, I really love the bar right by the entrance. I love the build set bethesda gave us, but i often feel that all the big open windows and holes in the walls/roofs aren't particularly realistic/authentic to survivors trying to eke out a living in a post apocalyptic wasteland. You wouldn't want a big ol gaping whole into your front foyer, just cause a house is, ideally, supposed to keep wind and rain outside, let alone radstorms. Houses before glass was common generally did not have large windows, if they had them at all, and what windows they did have had shutters that could be closed tightly at night/during inclement weather. The way this space felt cozy and lived in, and doesn't look claustrophobic, while still feeling secure and buttoned up feels really nice! I hope we get to see more like that!
I remember when I first starting building the lack of window pieces along with how open they were did really bother me, and that they should at least have some form of shutter to help keep the elements out 🥶🤣.
@@FiddleflapsVids the fact they didn't include some kind of raging fireplace or hearth, for housing that has no demonstrable form of internal heating, is wild to me. Previous Fallout survivors always had fairly sensible housing, it might not have modern insulation, and it might be a little gloomy, but you never felt like anyone was going to catch hypothermia or freeze overnight. The settlers in FO4, I s2g, live in more hostile conditions than the most desperate Fiend in the Mojave 😂😂😂
@@FiddleflapsVids I think I remember seeing Fallout4Guy use one of the wooden beach loungers (unsure if that's a buildable piece in vanilla or just a vanilla asset) turned 90°-so that the back rest is hanging down, like a drunk capital L 😂-as an open overhanging shutter. You obviously couldn't use that on the half-floor deep wooden shack windows, but on a single pane warehouse/barn or concrete window wall, it would fit. You'd have to figure out how to hide the top bit of the lounger without it obviously glitching through the wall, but I feel like if anyone could pull that off, you could. I guess a resized single-floor piece re-angled could work too, or the beige solid fence piece, all would work as a kind of awning that you could drop down to cover a window
@@Thebluebridgetroll I can see your thinking with the beach loungers, and the back rest would make an ideal window shutter if only the base frame and legs could be removed or hidden.
Had a brief play with rotating some plywood boards 45° and then adding some conduits as supports. Looked a little off but roughly had the same look, so might dig around the Creation Kit and see if I can find some more suitable pieces I could use .
Only issue is it does largely block the view from the window, and I hate rotating pieces as its so fiddly to get right. Still might be something I can add in a few spots in future builds 👍
Such a lovely build fids
Thanks! 👍😁
Awesome to see it complete :O
Really like how the terrain is being used, like the mutfruid farm.
Just out of curiousity, I took a peak at your mod list with your frame uncapper stuff, what fps are you running at and how often do you run into issues?
(I was thinking about trying it myself but have been unsure how stable the game will be)
Great to hear you liked it, thanks! I have almost always used the mod with the cap set to 60, and mostly use it to take advantage of reduced loading times and stutter removal.
I have played around using a 120 and 144 cap and not noticed any issues, but this was not for an extended period so cant say for certain if I would get problems if played for longer.
As the mod is an F4SE plugin its reasonably safe to play around with or remove, plus if you encountered issues its easy to just edit the mods INI file and reduce the FPS cap.
@@FiddleflapsVids Fast response, dope. Yeah I am actually fiddling with it right now, going to cap it to 100fps and maybe try gsync.
I think recently the fact that I played Helldivers 2 and Cyberpunk at 100-120fps has made going back to 60fps a little painful personally.
Always love your builds. Feels so homey. I was building along with you, but unfortunatly the new update took out my place anywhere mod and cant find it again. Sad day. But still enjoy your content
Great to hear you enjoy it, hopefully wont be too long for the mod authors start releasing updates 🫰.
I really like what you do. Thank you very much for your work. I only use your settlements, as they are the most harmonious and atmospheric. By the way, will you be posting the settlement on nexus soon?
Great to hear you are using and enjoying the blueprints, thanks! The blueprint should be available in the next couple of days.
you know a settlement is good when im thinking "id live there in real life", good job
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
I can surely relate to living a serene life like this ..its fascinating how a game can create a sense of serenity ... Love the over All vibe of this place Would love to know if you Have a sort of a lore for these builds?? I can help you write it or maybe write it myself totally if you like , would love to listen to some narrate a lore of some sort while Doing this settlement tours (just a thought)
As always, Love
Thanks, great to hear you liked it! I have tried and failed at adding narration to my vids, fear it would make them worse rather than improve them so prefer to stay mute 😶🤣.
I don’t really come up with much lore or backstories for my builds, just mainly enough to justify what type of settlement it will be and the structures within it. For this place I thought that people would initially be drawn by the farm, and as the settlement is next to a route into downtown the marketplace grew up round the farm to attract and supply passing travellers.
I had taken your advice and was building up county crossing, too. Sadly I was using mods and my fallout is broken from the new update so I can't finish the settlement.
Sorry to hear that, hopefully mod updates will come soon. I was prepared and had my game folder backed up and the update blocked, but I guess that’s not an option if you are on console.
@@FiddleflapsVids I'm on PC, I just didn't know any of those things were possible
@@grubert3535 In that case there are two methods I have seen on Nexus to revert the ‘upgrade’:
*Fallout 4 Downgrader*
www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81630
*STEAM - Skip Next-Gen update*
www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81471
Personally I don’t like the idea of entering my Steam details into a separate app to use the downgrader tool, but they do provide a manual method and would go for that.
The instructions don’t seem that clear or complete on either page, so would recommend reading both as one misses some download depots for the DLC’s, and the other does not tell you what to do with the downloaded files.
@@FiddleflapsVids thanks homie I really appreciate that. If you have a discord server or something I'd love to share with you the settlement screenshots when I get the chance.
@@grubert3535 No probs, hope you can get it working. I don’t use Discord but you could message me on Nexus if you wanted to share some screenshots of your build when its ready 👍.
At last, its complete!
Thanks! 🥳😁
I am impressed with your work and such but at the same time im semi interested to know what you would do with like way less mods open to you, place anywhere is super nice, but what if you didnt have it? im sure you still make nice shit
Thanks… I think 🤔😉. The only mod I use for my settlements is Place Everywhere, without it I would not be building in the game. I have never enjoyed struggling with and trying to work around the vanilla building mechanics, it’s just not fun for me.
@@FiddleflapsVids ah still think your builds are beautiful maybe a place anywhere with the flat and smooth settlements once your done building eveywhere change the locations up and see what your build is like then
You are very observant and smart in using space so that your settlement looks aesthetic and functional... it feels neat even with a scrappy vibe 🤩👍
just advice; try to use a variety of textures, materials & colors, because even though the structure of your building is quite varied, it looks a bit monotonous, this is due to excessive use of assets that have a wooden nuance, whether the material is actually wood, or the texture and color are similar to wood ✌
Thanks! 👍
Do you as you build these settlements, still play the game through and loot for resources to build with? If so I'd love to see it. Some silent gameplay of you just looting away between the settlements :)
I stopped ‘playing’ this save a long time ago and just use it for building so now add all the resources I need via console commands. My first couple of settlements were built with ‘legitimately’ gained resources and I do miss going on scavenging runs. With the builds taking as long as they do, I sadly dont really have the time do it anymore.
I am still amazed anybody watches my silent build vids, and cannot imagine many wanting to watch me just gather resources… but its very kind of you to suggest 👍😊.
Its actually mad how good you make these builds look 😂 I play on xbox and wish that the place everywhere mod was on there, looks so handy, I use the place anywhere mod, but it just isnt the same, the snapping isnt great and you cant do the incremental up and downs with the building pieces but I try my best! Shame you cant download blueprints into xbox either! Im stuck following your builds for hours on end step by step like lego 😂 keep up the good work, the builds are amazing!
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, many thanks! 🙏😁
Can’t wait for the transferring settlement blueprint mod to get an update, as soon as it does I’m downloading ur settlements.
Thanks! 👍😁
Does anyone know when or if the transfer settlement mod is getting updated?
@@WykedJester75 Yes, the last update from the author is that they have a working test build that is currently being tested. They don’t give an ETA only that it will be released when done:

Started watching this series recently and all your builds are amazing.
I see you said the only mod used is Place Anywhere. Do you happen to use anything else like Creative Clutter for decoration? If not, I am in awe of the vast amount of time you spend placing deco. Also does Place Anywhere (or any other mod) include the feature of making all your decoration items fixed after placement so they can't fall or be knocked around?
Thank you! All the decoration is regular junk items that I have hand placed and then made static using Place *Everywhere* (Place *Anywhere* is a different mod 😉).
More of your settlements will now be deployed to my game.😁😁😁
Awesome, hope you enjoy using them 👍😁
Bravo 👏🏻 on an amazing settlement. Where did you get the tiny batter statue?
Thank you! The tiny batter statue is the regular one just scaled down. Theres also a cappy statue (10:10) along with a vault boy and girl (11:32) on the shelves of some other houses that were added using the same method 😊.
Ready when you are king
Currently working on a new build, check the community tab for an update 😁👍
Love your works! Is there a fix for place everywhere mod after the recent update? :(
Thanks! No news on Place Everywhere, though it’s still early days as F4SE has only just recently been updated and still has issues.
you should totally reconsider doing the castle settlement again but more in-depth
If I complete my goal of building at every location, then The Castle along with a few of my other earlier builds are on my list of locations I would like to rebuild.
After the update, my jewelry category disappeared, does anyone know how to get it back?
Not too sure as I have the update blocked, but I would guess that you would need to wait for whatever mod adds that category to be updated. Not used it myself but have seen there is a downgrade tool on Nexus if you are on PC, not sure you can roll back if on console.
You would be a great environment artist at Bethesda. At any game studio.
Thank you! 👍😊
Too bad there's no settlment in Quincy. Otherwise, I'd be awfully interested to see how you'd deal with it and how you'd make it a functioning city.
Thanks! 👍
how hard it is without place everywhere, does anyone have any information about when F4SE will be updated?
I am still using it with no problems... although I was well prepared and had the ‘update’ blocked 😉😆
There is an unstable F4SE version for the update that came out today. I believe it’s mostly for mod authors to provide feedback and bug reports, and any plugins requiring F4SE would have to be updated before they could use it.
For more and future updates would suggest checking the F4SE Nexus page:
www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42147?tab=posts
what to do if the INS button does not work? I saw in one video how you dismantle buildings that cannot be dismantled without Place Everywhere
Are you using the newly updated version of Place Everywhere? If so the _Extra Object Selection Mode_ and _Precise Movement_ features are currently broken. Objects that could be removed using Place Everywhere can also be removed by selecting and then disabling them in the console (don’t use mark for delete!).
@@FiddleflapsVids listen, about a month ago I built a house in Diamond City and saw that when modifying power armor, it says that I have no resources, but with the workbench for armor and weapons everything is fine, do you know why this could be?
@@HiNoobUA Are you trying to use the Power Armour Station outside Home Plate in the marketplace? If so I believe it’s not linked to any workbench (much like the random stations you can find out in the world), so unless you have the required resources in your inventory you won’t able craft or modify your armour.
@@FiddleflapsVids I'm trying to use the station inside the house and not outside. But I can’t understand why the power armor station doesn’t see the resources
@@HiNoobUA Very odd, sorry not sure what could be causing that.
1:09 where did you get that barricade ?
It comes from the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC, you also need to complete the Vault 88 questline to unlock building vault objects at regular settlements.
Amazing and realistic settlement build next settlement can it be dalton farm in far harbor
Thanks! Not sure where I’ll be building next, but I do love Far Harbor so will keep it in mind 😊👍.
Do you have a personal room in each settlement?
Not really, I think the only settlements I had areas specifically for the player was at Outpost Zimonja and Vault 88. I was always fond of returning to Home Plate and still use it as my home base, with its workbench being an unorganised nightmare of all the random junk I picked up over my travels.
@@FiddleflapsVids How many are left to go? If you could pick a spot to put a settlement where would it be?
@@deprive-999x I have completed 27 locations so have 10 left to build at, would also like reattempt some of my earlier builds as I feel I could do a better job of them now.
I always thought that Fiddlers Green would make for a cool settlement, along with rebuilding Quincy for the Minutemen after clearing out the Gunners.
@@FiddleflapsVids 😎
I decorate the interiors and my settlers just knock stuff all over the floors. lol I come back and looks like an earthquake took place.
lol, even without settlers the games engine is capable of doing the same just by the player fast travelling into an area 😆. Thankfully I use the Place Everywhere mod which allows me to make all the objects I place static, no way I would spend all the time I do decorating these builds without it.
How do you get all the building supplies after scraping from most the settlements it’s not enough ?
I stopped ‘playing’ this save a long time ago and just use it for building now, as such any resources I need are added via console commands.
@@FiddleflapsVids ohh I see I’m on ps5 I can’t do that right ?
@@Jstar7771 Correct, always though it odd you cant use ‘console commands’ on consoles 😉🤣.
There are several locations that respawn every couple of in game days that are good for junk / scrap farming, along with buying shipments from the various vendors.
@@FiddleflapsVids yes it’s strange for sure 😂 and thank you brother
Hello friend, firstly I wanted to thank you for making your settlements available for download, I would soon make a donation on the nexus as a form of thanks.
One question, my PC drops FPS in some settlements, which PC configuration do you use? I would like to know if there is any way to remove the bottlenecks.
I built my current PC about a year ago which has a Ryzen 7 7000, 32GB DDR5 (PC6000), GeForce RTX 4080 with the game running on an NVMe drive. I run a fairly light mod list (link in description) with the ones most effecting performance being Buffout 4, Physics High FPS Fix and some INI tweaks to godrays.
Regardless of hardware there does seem to be a limit to how much the games engine will take advantage of it, and very large settlement builds can still cause frame drops. I have found the games shadow setting to be one of the biggest performance drains, and lowering from Ultra to either High or Medium can really help raise and smooth out performance.
Try to avoid any mods that break the games pre-combined mesh system such as Scrap Everything, at best this will cause minor stutters and in worst cases large performance drops as it forces the game to render more.
@@FiddleflapsVids Thank you very much for responding to my comment. Do you think about making a finch farm settlement?
@@zanardo_m I am aiming to do one of these vanilla style builds at every location, so I am sure I’ll get to Finch Farm at some point 👍
@@FiddleflapsVids TKSSSS
Hey man, if you were to choose a settlement for the BOS crops side mission which one would it be?
I would probably choose either County Crossing as its reasonably close to Boston Airport, or Sunshine Tidings due to its remote location being a safer place to grow a large amount of crops without drawing unwanted attention from raiders.
@@FiddleflapsVids is both oké too? BTW for the railroad mercer safe house it was Coastal Cottage right? Or would you recommend another one?? Sorry to Bother you with these questions, ill have some more about nuka world raiders too if you dont mind. Do you have discord if you prefer that?
@@ChezGames It really does not affect the game so you can choose as many or little as you like, as I typically play for the Minutement I don’t claim any settlements for the BOS.
You don’t get to choose the location of Mercer Safe house, its depending on what level you are and the settlements you have unlocked. In various playthoughs I have had Croup Manor, Jamaica Plain and Coastal Cottage assigned as the safehouse.
I’m curious if you play on PC with an Xbox Controller or on a Xbox? I’ve been trying to find the “Place Everywhere” mod but can’t find it on the mods menu.
I am on PC, due to requiring the Script Extender Place Everywhere is not available for console. Closest alternatives would be Place Anywhere on Xbox and QwaPA for PS.
Is there any way to transfer settlements from one save to another on Xbox?, I like a lot of your settlements and want to build them myself but I don’t want to have to build them again every new save 😅

@@FiddleflapsVids after the update mods that need Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) are not working
Genuine question, are you new to modding Bethesda games on PC?
@@FiddleflapsVids yes
It’s unlikely that the blueprints will need to be updated for the new version of the game. Once F4SE and Transfer Settlement Blueprints are updated they should (hopefully) work fine as they just use Vanilla and DLC assets. Based on comments made by the F4SE team it might take them a while to get it updated, and then we would have to wait even further for other authors to update their mods.
If you really want to play with mods I would suggest rolling back the update and blocking any possible future ones until mod updates are ready. The games newest ‘update’ really does not offer much for PC owners so by using it all you are really doing is limiting the choice of mods available to you.
I wanted to be creative like that
My creative process is basically a lot of trial and error, and just start throwing pieces together and see what happens. Sometimes this works out great, but usually involves lots of building and then tearing stuff down until I get something that feels right.
So if you are building something and you don’t think it’s working out, don’t be afraid to tear it down and try again. Like any skill the more you practice the better you will get 👍
Can I hire you to rebuild my settlements? Mine look like homeless camps compared to yours!
lol, thanks! If you are on PC all my settlements are available as blueprints that can be imported into your game, and if not hopefully the videos can provide a few ideas that you could use for your own 👍
