5 GREAT Fallout 4 Settlement Mods for Console that DON'T NEED DLC (XBOX, PS4 AND PC)

[@AudreyStryder222]

All these settlement objects and we still cant build a family for the homes we build- at least not on xbox. Ive wanted to build nurseries and maybe get a kid to go with the in depth romantic companions bethesda provided to make it feel like my character has rebuilt themselves after everything. Creative clutter adds cribs and kid beds and clutter but the baby is glitched out and looks black no matter what- even though we saw the spouse holding the baby and the model for the baby in the crib and we know its possible, nobody has made a serious baby mod- but ofcorse they took the time to make baby shaun into liberty prime or a frickin candy bar. Theres no adoption mods at all. Theres a marriage mod but its mid...everyones so obsessed with making more and more guns that do the same thing essentially, that expasion of the world and immersion have been completely neglected.... Every year i watch skyrim get better and better- even on xbox. It feels alive. Fallout 4 could really use that spirit.

there are a few pregnancy/reproduction mods out there believe it or not theyre just not on Nexus. it should be noted, most of them are sex-centered, so may not be totally what you're looking for but they DO (re)produce results (lol) There's a non-zero chance that I may cover these in some "bunch of niche mods" video. However I'll agree with you that it does generally seem like people only mod weapons and combat centric things into F4 and I believe that's mostly because F4s combat is it's highlight. You're always doing it, and with a few good mods and many high quality weapons it becomes any sort of shooter you want it to be. However where I'll disagree is that F4 has no immersive or expansive mods. There are a *ton* of those, they're just really easy to bury under "Dak's 5th weapon of the week" or "big-ass titties looksmenu preset #69". Would you like me to bring some of these to the forefront? I can't guarantee that it's something you haven't seen before though. In any case, thank you for the passionate and articulate comment you've left me. I really enjoy engaging with comments like these because they give me a chance to discuss the state of F4 modding with other people.

@SnailOXD I appreciate that you also took the time to respond lol. I would say yes, I'd like a list of your favorite immersion mods, but I'm limited to xbox and 2 gigs of mod space at the moment. I've scoured the mod page endlessly, and I'm pretty sure ive seen all the options lmao. Suppose I should say instead, that someone should port the immersive family mods. I know it's taboo with the whole sex aspect, but a PG cut scene could fix any naughty parts of the original mod while still giving console players options instead of shooting up a static post game world lol

[@SnailOXD]

@AudreyStryder222 see that's where you've gone wrong unfortunately. The pregnancy mods all require F4SE, which simply isn't possible to bring to console due to manufacturer protections. Because nothing like this is actually possible within the games engine and scripts, it needed to be created from scratch and plugged into the script extender. In this regard, console modding is unfortunately limited I can give the list of immersive or expansive mods, there's definitely some that can fit on console, like Advanced Needs 76

[@AudreyStryder222]

@SnailOXD I had advanced needs for a bit. I don't remember why I ditched it. As far as pregnancy- I don't need all that really. Sleep intimate adds soft romance scenes. I need a cut scene, a dialogue prompt and a junk item baby that I can place in the crib or stroller lol. Or just hold/have spouse hold for immersion sake. Like I said- xbox got liberty shaun and butterfinger shaun and even a rock baby replacer lol. It needs the real deal now lol

[@SnailOXD]

@AudreyStryder222 I'm fairly certain the pregnancy timer and childbirth is the reason for the script extender but let me keep looking to see if there is an alternative

Far Harbor is my favorite DLC out of all of them!

[@SnailOXD]

It's a phenomenal experience that really deserves much better than being forgotten about because of the game it's attached to. FO4s main story is serviceable at best but FH goes leaps and bounds over it

[@RevPlays898]

@@SnailOXD They absolutely killed it on the atmosphere for Far Harbor, and the choices we had to make felt like they actually mattered. Plus, I’ll never forget the first time I encountered the glowing red eyes of the Red Death!

[@SnailOXD]

That enemy sounds like the sort of thing I'd type "tgm" in the console for

Dear Snail, I am curious about settlements. My curiosity is in mods that turn certain areas into new settlements. Like the orcs (my term for the Super Mutants) that are bothering the Slog, a trailer park, another orc issue in a couple of areas that just look like they should have turned in to settlements. While you have that request, my curiosity is about bridges and dams. I would think these should have an opportunity to become settlements, too. We work with settlers and would like to see more areas (not in Boston) becoming settlements. Maybe these are mods already created that you can tell us about. Maybe there is another maker of settlement mods you, me, and others need to request such sites. Thank you, Irish

[@SnailOXD]

If you've noticed these sites would make good workshops, someone else already has and has probably made some form of settlement mod for it. There are dozens of these settlement mods somewhere on nexus or even Beth.net to find, but I can do my best looking for them, If that's something that interests you (it likely interests many people as well) Question though: do you know the specific names of these other settlements you're talking about? Like, do they have map markers I can reference? That will help a lot in tracking these mods down and playing with them for KZbin. Also, are you on console or PC? This is going to help inform what mods I should be looking for and covering, since many aren't ported to console

[@bigpanik3261]

is anyone else having a problem on PS$4 getting to the mod list? For the last month and a half, no matter what I do it wont let me into the mods. They are still loaded and usable..but i can no longer add or remove mods and cant even get to my mod list. I am signed in to PS network, everyrthing else works fine. Just cant get to the mods.....

[@SnailOXD]

Sadly no, I don't use PS4 but I hope someone else can help

[@jak356]

Im on Xbox my go to must have settlement building mods are USO Settlement objects expanded- SOE Thematic and practical Grounded Sandbag fortifications Clean beds Snap beds Constructible guards OCdecorator Place anywhere Etc.

[@GoggyYT]

Waittt what mod adds those brick pathways that the castle has in the first clip?

[@SnailOXD]

The floating ones I put down at Abernathy? That is most likely Homemaker, USO might actually have those as well if they're Castle assets
