I decided to take a break from building towns and try my hand at making a house. This was inspired by a Steam chat conversation with muppet. I don’t recall exactly what he said, but it was something to the effect that if he did any settlement-building, he’d prefer something nice instead of all the junk huts and weird plywood flooring. I thought this was an interesting idea. I didn’t want to do an antiseptic Institute building, so I tried for something a little warmer, made possible by an ambitious mod called Snappy HouseKit. I also used the wonderful USO (Unlocked Settlement Objects) mod and some other things.
I needed some relatively flat ground with considerable space, so I went to the enormous Red Rocket settlement in Nuka World. I had to elevate the structure because Bethesda can’t resist putting weeds and crap all over the ground even in a desert location, but I think it worked out reasonably well.
I decided to go with a more-or-less gothic/Victorian look.
The exterior — couldn’t find a full moon or bats.
Potted plants on the porch (for alliteration)
The living room
The kitchen
A bedroom
Stairs to the second floor
I decided to make the second floor a kind of gallery for my various stolen paintings.
You can be sure there was much glitching and fudging, especially to cover up electrical wiring and get objects nudged properly against walls. I’m presently working on another house at Sanctuary Hills, but I’m not sure I’ll show it, as it’s not as beau-monde as this one. Mostly, it’s an exercise to see how far glitching can be taken. Maybe I’ll show one room or something.
Damn, dude.
“For aliteration”. LOL
The vaulted stone ceiling in the bedroom is really something given the style of the house outside… quite a contrast. 😀
The pitched ceiling is from the Snappy HouseKit mod. It’s part of a church set, but I thought it would add some swank here.
I rather like the other ceiling pieces because they double as upper floors with interesting tile patterns. In-game, they look ritzy and marbly, like something Vanilla Ice would use. Unfortunately, when you attach ceiling lights, the bound box ignores the concave design and cuts off the wiring in midair. It’s a small thing I couldn’t get around. 🙁
Speaking of in-game, all this stuff looks quite different when you’re moving around and getting all the lighting effects. There’s also more definition. I should compensate by using an improved graphics mod. To get the most out of the mod, I should spend $1500 on a new graphics card and a 4k monitor.
Yeah, no.
I didn’t notice the cut wires, honestly.
LOL @ Vanilla Ice couture.
Yeah I think your screenshots are lit just fine dude….
