About the Better Homes and Bunkers Player Home Mod Series:

Show If you’re not into settlement building and just want a place to sleep and store your stuff, the Better Homes and Bunkers Player Homes might be just what you’ve been looking for. And if you already have a settlement and just want a place to get away from whining settlers and rad storms, then these homes might be perfect for you as well. Each mod in the series will add an interior cell player home to a selected settlement. Some homes will have only the bare essentials, while others will be on par with post-apocalyptic five-star hotels. Most will fall somewhere in between. All will feature functional interactive features, and each will be crafted with a unique theme and decor relevant to the settlement and location that it is part of.



If you still want to build a settlement, or want to use one of the player homes with your existing settlement, not to worry.



The player homes of this series are all interior cells and the load doors and access points will be designed to not interfere with settlement building.



Load doors to interior cells will be placed in innocuous locations of existing settlement structures, or in some cases, totally outside the settlement build zone but still adjacent to it.



In all cases, there will be NO workshop mode inside the player home. But, all interior workbenches will be linked to the settlement workshop to share resources for crafting.



To gain access to one of these player homes, you must first gain control of the settlement in which it is located. Until you do so, the door to the interior cell will remain locked and inaccessible.



PLEASE NOTE: that there will be NO settlement workshop in the player home interior cells! Most items are static, but there are several lootable containers. Spoiler:

PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION:

For you FO4Edit aficionados:

Any cell edits for surrounding cells you see ARE NOT stray edits! They are a result of regenerating the precombined/previs data

I am open to having my mods translated to other languages provided you contact me and ASK PERMISSION FIRST! It’s a simple courtesy, and chances are I will be cool about it provided you agree to a few simple rules.

- There is NO workshop mode in the interior cell!- You can not assign settlers to the interior cell!- You can not dismiss companions to the interior cell!- This mod was made for my own game the way I wanted it, and I will not be making changes or taking “requests.”Most items are static, but there are a several lootable items and containers.Far Harbor (DLCCoast)Nuka World (DLCNukaWorld)This mod adds a furnished and functional trailer player home adjacent to the Somerville Place settlement. The trailer is placed just outside of the settlement build zone so it will not interfere with settlement building.To gain access to this player home, you must first be in control of the Somerville Place settlement. If you are not in control of the settlement, the door to the player home remains locked. Most of the exterior features are also not accessible until you control the settlement.The exterior of the trailer fratures a large wooden deck with functioning lights, a power armor station, cooking grill, seating, a radio, a functional Nuka Cola vending machine, and a house for Dogmeat that can be changed to a couch and back again. There is also a bathroom attached to the deck with a functioning shower that when used gives a +2 Charisma boost for eight hours.The interior cell player home is a small, quaint, highly detailed and decorated space with many scripted interactive features, armor and weapons workbenches, a chemistry station, a cooking station and much more. It’s the perfect place to relax and get away from all those whining settlers.I see this home as more of a way station to be used during missions to the Glowing Sea and southern regions of the map, rather than a permanent main base. With this in mind, coupled with the limited interior space, the trailer does not have all the bells and whistles found in other homes in this mod series.The mod features:- Discoverable map marker- You can fast travel from the interior cell- Custom loading screen- Functioning exterior lighting- Power armor station (linked to settlement workshop)- Cooking grill (linked to settlement workshop)- Trash Compactor unit that breaks junk items into their base components and transfers them to the settlement workshop- Working shower gives +2 Charisma boost for eight hours- Working Nuka Cola Vending Machine (make purchases with Pre-War Money)- Dog house for Dogmeat – Can be changed to a couch with an activator button- A radio receiver that plays Diamond City Radio- Furniture for you and your companions to sit and relax- All containers are flagged to not respawn- Deck is navmeshed for companions with many idle markers- Custom collectible magazine that adds a random component shipment to your inventory- Custom design chemistry, armor, weapon and cooking workbenches- Two inventory sorting systems: one container-based, the other terminal based- All workbenches are linked to settlement workshop- Functioning light switches for main lights, desk lamp, workbench and stove lamps- My First Infirmary unit: restores health, removes Rads- Bed that is personalized with player’s name and gives the Well Rested and Lover’s Embrace Bonuses.- Terminal is personalized with player’s name- Working refrigerator with custom Nuka Cola textures: Insert any Nuka Cola, Vim or Gwinnett beer variant and it will be come Ice Cold with the associated buff in six hours- Interactive storage units: Weapons storage, ammo shelf, liquor and food shelves will display clutter when items of each category are added. Clutter will deactivate when container is emptied- LOTS of storage! All containers are flagged to not respawn- Fully navmeshed for companions with idle markersLike the previous mod in this series, Better Homes and Bunkers Volume 5 includes a brand new custom magazine to add you your collection. The magazine is located on the kitchen counter and adds a random component shipment to your inventory when you pick it up. Note that Wood is NOT one of the components that you will get. There is more than enough wood at Somerville Place you can get from scrapping trees, so it seemed silly to add it to the leveled lists that spawns the component shipment.Once you have control of the settlement (when you get a notification that you can use the workshop), go to the red workshop workbench and activate it by using the key you have bound to interact/activate objects. Then exit workshop mode and go to the trailer door.Youto unlock it. The first time triggers the door lock script and it runs an ownership check on the workshop. If you own the settlement, the script removes the lock. Activating the door the second time opens the door and loads you into the interior cell.Also note that the exterior light, bathroom door and trash compactor are coupled to the door unlock script, so you must first activate the unlocked load door in order to unlock these features. After you have entered the interior cell for the first time, these items will be accessible for use.Since the trailer is located completely outside of the settlement build zone, the potential for mod conflicts should be minimal. Your mileage may vary.That being said, this mod does regenerate the precombined mesh and previs data for the settlement cells. Any additional mods that modify the recombined/previs data for the same cells will conflict.As with anytime you use multiple mods that modify the same cell, there is ALWAYS a potential for conflicts. Even though the trailer is not part of the settlement build zone, there is always the chance you will run into problems using other mods that modify the Somerville Place area.I don’t use any Somerville Place settlement mods so I haven’t tested any. You’re on your own for that. I also have no intention of making compatibility patches...you’re on your own for that as well. Sorry, but I can’t get into supporting mods that I don’t use for my own game.Ideally, the mods in this series should be used in a new game but there are no real issues using them in a game with a settlement already built at the location, provided you keep a few important things in mind:1. Before installing this mod,leave the Somerville Place settlement. Fast travel someplace else, whatever, just leave Somerville Place. Once you are out of the settlement, save your game and quit.4. Install and activate the mod.5. Load the save you just made and WALK, not Fast Travel...into the Somerville Place settlement. This will (hopefully) insure the new trailer and exterior objects are properly loaded into your game.6. Activate the load door TWICE, as described above.7. Enter, and enjoy your new digs!The mod is compatible with Fallout: FROST v.41. If you use the Unofficial FROST FPS Fix mod, you are likely to have visual conflicts with the precombined/previs data generated by both mods. Adjust your load order accordingly.There is some very important information in the READ ME regarding the interactive features of the mod. I strongly suggest you read itbefore asking questions or reporting issues.The Somerville Place Trailer Player Home is the fifth in a series of player home mods that add interior cell player homes to Fallout 4 settlement locations.The Better Homes and Bunkers Player Home mod series aims to fill a void in the Fallout 4 settlement system by offering old school, pre-decorated, move-in ready player homes to existing settlement locations. All of the homes in this series will be inspired by the player homes of previous Fallout games.Click the spoiler tag to read more...A comprehensive F.A.Q. is in the READ ME. Live it, Learn it, Love it.Use the mod manager of your choice,Or to install manually:Extract the archive. It contains three files:RRTV_HomesAndBunkers_Somerville.espRRTV_HomesAndBunkers_Somerville – Main.BA2RRTV_HomesAndBunkers_Somerville – Textures.BA2Place all three files into your Data folder and activate the mod with your mod manager.The interior trailer cell is very, very small so the use of room bounds and portals was not required. Even on a low end laptop with a 4700-series i7 with a 2GB GTX860M and 16GM RAM I am able to maintain a solid 60FPS on High and Ultra settings. There are two shadowed light sources in the trailer: the main ceiling light and the “sun” light that comes in through the kitchen window. If the godrays from this light cause you FPS issues, simply close the Venetian blinds using the button on the counter beneath the window. This will help as the godrays are no longer rendered.The mod has been cleaned in FO4Edit. But if you can’t resist the urge to see for yourself, be aware that the precombined mesh and previs data for the trailer and settlement exterior cells (Farm05Ext for the settlement, and a Wilderness cell for the trailer) and many surrounding cells has been regenerated.The Creation kit regenerates previs data for ALL surrounding cells on a 3x3 grid when regenerating optimization data regardless if a mod makes changes to them or not. Unless you want to risk experiencing performance and/or graphical issues, I suggest you leave them be.bLaCkShAd0w for the footlocker texture modder’s resource used for the custom footlockersQueenLunara for the mini TV from the modder’s resource, Queenie's Resources Shoes near the Armor Locker are by MsRae from the Creative Clutter modders resource

I love that mod, and thought it would be cool to have additional options for interior cell player homes at settlements.Darkfox127 and Seddon4494 for their amazing Creation Kit video tutorials which have been crucial to the success of every mod I’ve made.1. This mod is PC only. There will not be a console version, so please do not ask.2. There is no settlement workshop for the player home interior cell and one will not be added so please don’t ask.3. There will not be a non-DLC version, so you guessed it, please don’t ask.4. Based on any texture replacements you have installed in your game, the appearance of items in the mod may vary from what is shown in the screenshots and promo video. I use many texture replacements in my game and videos, and none of them are included in this mod.I use the Decent Plus ENB preset for my screenshots, videos and gameplay.5. I am creating the mods in this series to fit my own game and gameplay, and will only be doing settlements that I have an interest in. Requests will not be taken, and questions asking “Can you/will you do settlement XYZ?” will not be responded to. That being said, if you ask nicely, I will be able to tell you what settlements I intend to work on...if I can figure that out for myself.
