Introduction:

Another idea for a player home on Spectacle Island.

Some Background:

I'm not really a settlement builder but do enjoy building in Fallout 4. I create these builds for my own enjoyment, and there are no plans to update them (unless I really want to). Also, this comes as is and works fine on my pc, although other user experiences may vary. I just hope that others can enjoy using this as much as I enjoyed building it. I also build with the idea of using as few mods as is necessary. So, most of the mods I use have been chosen because they are comprehensive and include many different pieces.

Recommended Mods:(highly recommended)

Workshop Plus (allows flying while in workshop mode among other options and makes moving around in a build much easier and really can add to your creativity) (just don't forget to shut off the workshop 5 second timer (F5) (from Place Everywhere))

***Build High - Expanded Settlements 5.0*** (doesn't work with Workshop Anywhere but offers 200+ floors and expanded boundaries in vanilla settlements) (great for any arial builds like skyscrapers/aircraft/spacecraft etc...)

Place Everywhere (of course) (If I could only choose one building mod for Fallout 4, this would be it.)

Clipboard Resurrection You'll need this to import the pattern.ini file. Plus, with this tool, combined with Place Everywhere, you'll be able copy almost anything in the game to use anywhere.

Installation:

For the Blueprint:

* Make sure that you have F4SE, HUD Framework and Transfer Settlements installed.

* Extract the file "Data" and copy, then paste to your Fallout 4 game folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4).

* This blueprint uses slot 13. If you would rather it be a different folder, create another folder and number it (1-100) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints. Then add the .json file to the folder.

For the Clipboard Resurrection file:

* Just copy and paste the Clipboard Pattern into a folder from 1-500 located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\Clipboard.

* The easiest way I've found to add a clipboard file is to create a shortcut to the clipboard folder and place it on my desktop. Then when I download a new clipboard file I can extract it, copy it, go right to the clipboard folder and paste the new pattern in one of the folders. Done!

Importing:

Import the settlement via the Transfer Settlements holotape, detailed instructions on this process can be found on the Transfer Settlements mod page. 

Also, before importing and to ensure the settlement imports correctly always import and export on the STABLE (preset), not normal. Then always use Marker Based, where it will open the workshop while it's importing or exporting so it simulates you actually building manually.

To import, enable the following options from within the holotape:

****[Enable Import original items (not built by the Player)
*[Enable Import DLC items
*[Enable Import mod-added items

*[Enable Import or nuke marker-based items
*[Enable Import wired power connections
*[Enable Restore snapped power connections***

Using the Clipboard Resurrection pattern file:

Just fast travel to Spectacle Island to begin.

While in game:

***** Build the clipboard tool.
***** Choose "Move To Pattern Source Location" in the action menu first.
***** Then choose "Paste From Clipboard".

Special Note: After importing the blueprint don't immediately save the game.  The papyrus function needs time to catch up with all the changes that were made, and your game will freeze until it finishes. This process may take 5 minutes then it will save your game. It's best to let it finish. When it finishes, create a full save.

Remember, there are 3270 objects that need to render. Wait till everything is highlighted in Blue, then you can destroy the Clipboard Tool, and everything will return to normal.

Special Note: If you would like your Fallout 4 to look the same as in the first four pictures, it's a simple weather code (xx00c60b). Where the 'xx' is the location of the Nuka World DLC in my load order. The weather codes are activated in the command console using the Force Weather command. So, for me it would look like this 'fw 0600c60b' (without the quotes). You can achieve some pretty dramatic results early in the morning or in the evening. I just use the 'set gamehour to 18.5' console command. It's a 24-hour clock so 18.5 would be 6:30pm. Have fun!

Special Note:  If you enjoy building in Fallout 4 and are on Facebook, the best building groups I've found are the Fallout 4 Settlement Building and Fallout 4: Commonwealth Creators groups. They include some of the best builders in the Fallout community. They also include builders of all skill levels and can answer any questions you might have about mods, materials, or techniques used for building in Fallout 4.
