Let's Build a Vault Swimming Pool - Vault-Tec Workshop for Fallout 4 - PC Mods Used

[@liquatic8499]

I'll continue building my vault when people stop randomly spawning outside the vault in the caves...if I wanted a cave settlement I wouldn't have built a completely enclosed vault

[@danielpolido6064]

Those are probably raiders that are trying to attack the vault. Once I built a whole base they stopped appearing

[@armandogomez6095]

looks like you need some direction signs in your vault.

[@oxhorn]

Yep, I'll get to that shortly.

[@drackowyrm]

I was thinking the same thing

[@taylorlynn2522]

+Oxhorn you should use the console to disable then renable the walls, floors etc.

[@BBattleDroid]

and some lights

[@jakepelletier2955]

Vault 88, the maze vault

[@themonkysuncle]

Ox needs to put a piece of cheese at one end.

[@jakepelletier2955]

YES

[@krisreese6754]

It's an experiment approved by Vault Tec

[@michaelroblesmedia]

+Kris Reese lol while vault 111 is freezing people vault 88 is testing to see how people live in a maze XD

[@krisreese6754]

+Entity File yes exactly! It's Vault boy approved (wink, thumbs up)!

[@WeepingWrangler]

Head through a lavatory to get to a gym...

[@anaseman9558]

I feel that the smaller room should have been the bathroom. :P

[@kate1361]

I pictured it as more of a changing room than a straight up toilet

[@sonicjosh_2342]

Got excited until I saw (PC mods used)

[@Acanders1980]

Exactly, we can’t make a water tile on PS4 and we also can’t make our vaults that big.

[@zakoshi]

Loving the change in style for videos. I'd be happy with whatever you choose to do Ox!

[@veraid2307]

I love Fallout 4 but out of all the dlc's they did to add new items for settlements on fallout how come none of them improved the awful placing mechanics, I mean it takes like an hour to place a wall since sometimes the game just says nope, not happening. I wouldn't even bother with settlements if it wasn't for the place everywhere mod! TheLich you are a hero!

[@mainmanjim-1839]

YES I love that mod

[@Dirtbag-Hyena]

+oxhorn So to not get lost,I used the little numbers & letters from the Wasteland Workshop DLC & put things like Armoury01 or blah, blah,Exit03. Then use the arrows from the Vault workshop or the lighted ones from Wasteland Workshop.

[@circumquentiam]

Your vault is such a maze. I made an atrium for each sector and connected them all to start. Then just built off of that.

[@ThatsMforyou]

Would love to see

[@Mirage19ify]

Every time he says corner piece I get hungry.

[@Charizarzar]

It's weird how you weren't able to scrap the cone etc. I was able to scrap everything.

[@danielpolido6064]

Me too. Except for some of the caution signs on the walls

[@Toni-lo9ms]

I know this thread is a month old, but for anyone who's confused, in vanilla you can scrap both the construction barriers and cones. It's a mod conflict. I know because I'm rockin most of Ox's mod loadout and I can't scrap or select barriers either. I could before, but one of the mods edits the base object. Totally worth it for what you get, but there you go.

[@penguinreece3119]

Grammar police 101 why is your name grammar police it should be mr/ms point out wat a mod does when it litery says what it does in the name

[@MakusinMeringue]

Charizarzar Try to scrap before building and without mods

[@umanoid1523]

i've been staying away from building my vault since i first played through the DLC and struggled with build priorities. it's so wonky and arcane that i fled the vault area in frustration and went back to building out some of my other settlements. This really helps to see how the pieces snap together and how you have to fool the damn tools into snapping the way you want. So many work arounds for the building tools. Thanks for the lets play...This is as entertaining as your tuts btw so keep on making them!

[@deansmith2012]

I didn't know Tom Hanks played fallout 4!!!!! B

[@Triumphator616]

I've built a double atrium with prefabs, got a double overseer office size, overlooking the "subjects" via oval windows, but i was able to squeeze sleeping quarters between two roofs of the atrium. Too bad there are sometimes obstacles like stone and ground when all you need is a tiny bit more space to expand a room. Great snapping mister!

[@MrFox-rf3cu]

Toilet stall mod: ElvenBlossom's Items. She started with new stores, but has added many items, including the stall. I'm on XBox, but there is a PC version.

[@hello_kitty_cc8257]

Why can't the game just add extra stuff without having mods? I play on ps4 and still waiting for mods because there is barely any customization rn. I would really like to make a kitchen with a FRIDGE and more cute hairstyles because the magazine ones suck. I would like to repair the houses in Sanctuary. I would like to do a lot but I'm limited lol

[@TheDevian]

That is why they replicated some of the more popular mods with the workshop DLCs. On the other hand, what many of those mods did was just unlock what was in the game already that they didn't bother to let us use, so take that for what you will. Though I admit, I am surprised they have not unlocked the fridges yet, this DLC would have been the perfect opportunity. For repairing the houses, I recommend the rug trick, that works on consoles. You can at least fix the walls and ceiling, if not the roofs. It is a well documented trick, that can allow you to build walls and ceilings and clip them into the walls of the crummy houses they gave us.

[@hello_kitty_cc8257]

+TheDevian ty i didn't know about the rug 😀

[@TheDevian]

You are welcome, I have had to make use of it many times, place everywhere has not always been as effective as it is today, and it still has issues with being close to certain things (though most of the time I use the 'modpos' command these days). They are also good for covering holes in the floors.

[@commanderboy7384]

Hello_Kitty_CC it’s dlc not mods but the workshop are $5.00 dollars and the Nuka world is $20.00

[@nickygonzalez2276]

Spring Cleaning will get those cones and barriers scraped for you. xD

[@brucebydaybreak1717]

His voice sounds a little like Tom Hanks, and I'm very much enjoying the thought of Tom Hanks giving me Fallout 4 tips and tricks

[@DarkJediPrincess]

Oxhorn Let's Builds? YES PLEASE!

[@anakinpalpatine8725]

I have said this on other videos. Oxhorn has got to be the most patient person. I have tried three times to build vault 88... I ended up throwing sleeping bags down and planting crops and leaving it and never going back.

[@WardenWolf]

Just an FYI, Settlement Objects Expanded now offers swimming pool options that are much more capable than Build Your Own Pool, which was last updated in August. The only thing BYOP offers that it doesn't is "relaxation point" markers, which entice settlers to the area to mingle, swim, and use chairs. As a result, I use both together for greatest effect, although were I to choose one, it would be Settlement Objects Expanded, hands down. It gives you more water type options that override the default water for the cell they're in, so your vault swimming pool won't look like the diving pool at the Rio Olympics.

[@MahiMahi-oiasdf]

Atrium Molding along the pool edge will make it look so much better.

[@joshuagary3957]

This was really awesome to watch, I've been stumped with the amount of building area and what to do with it, but watching this gave me many ideas, you're channel is a national treasure. Keep on keepin on my man.

[@comradeautukov977]

in true Bethesda fashion he has made a labyrinth out of the vault

[@raytavarez4285]

I like this, it provides insight about the kind of problem solving and planning that goes into creating these kind of builds

[@wiredwrong760]

In the area where you put the Bathroom if you could give access to the area with the floor you did not like. You could put up railings and make an area for the residents to sit down and drink a soda or something and dry off after taking a shower and or using the workout room or the swimming pool. You should also ask a Mod maker to make floor caps to put around the pool to help cap the corners around it in order to make the pool that much more safe rather then have sharp metal corners.

[@DHunt88]

Seem to be missing a lot of inner walls in your hallways

[@bloodgiant6596]

Yeah, I hate to say it, but Osborn doesn't seem to quite understand how the vault section works, because it's really hard to understand. He leaves the exterior walls of rooms in the hallways and the main atrium exposed. It's a simple fix really to use the domestic or utility hallways with doors to get rooms off of them. In the atrium, he can literally just snap atrium walls to the side.

[@Grumpydrawer]

+Sikamaru Nara "Really hard it understand." Is it really though? I haven't found it at all hard to understand the atrium pieces (took a few minutes, not much longer) and I am the sort of person who is usually confused by this sort of stuff. Lighting the atrium on the other hand. Now that is hard. Hence why I only used atrium pieces for the entrance area and the reactor room.

[@DHunt88]

Grumpydrawer lighting the atrium fucking sucks with those shitty vault lights

[@TheDevian]

Some of the atrium pieces have built in lights.

[@DHunt88]

+TheDevian I've built my entire vault up, built multiple atrium and have never seen a piece with a light in it. I will have to look at that.

[@chadly211bucks]

I won't speak for all but this is great. Seeing how you tweak the pieces and your planning process is very helpful and interesting to watch. I can't do the pool (PS4) but the rest is mostly doable and seeing it done is a big help.

[@drpravda]

You can use the tcl command to remove collision of an object you want to clip into.... I use that trick a lot :) !

[@skullbulldozer7675]

lol you got lost in your own vault XD

[@jamezp2322]

he should have a mod for getting lost lol

[@Klip]

Ox... I gotta say it. Your vault is built incorrectly, and I assume that it may be caused by a slight misunderstanding in how to snap doorways together. Take the areas in your vault where the exterior of your residential areas are showing, for example. This can easily be fixed by snapping the hallways with doors to the residential doors, this way you can just have a vault that looks much more finished. You can also have windows that go between rooms if you use hallways with windows right next to other windows. Just a few tips.

[@ShadowDash36]

his Vault is so incorrect that its starting to make me cringe a little bit

[@TheDevian]

I believe Homemaker or Settlement Object Expanded has the bathroom stalls. There is also "Craftable Working Showers Sinks Etc. (CWSS Redux)", which has some nice items in that area. Then you have an expanded water sources mod, that gives you a working sink that gives 2 water (along with many other things) that are nice for effect (not that you need it in that location really).

[@christopherthompson8609]

I would definitely like to see more videos like this - love watching your creative process.

[@simsdiver5201]

+Oxhorn also on the pool location: while ideal to build in the natural cavern area, this does NOT provide any security for your vault dweller NPCs if mirelurks and other hostile NPCs spawn in these areas....

[@DJ-rs9io]

It's always a treat to see the process that leads to things we enjoy. That being said though, I would have done one thing a little different... I would have the entrance on the middle floor instead of the pool floor. Have it as a locker room/lavatory that leads to the pool below and the gym above. That would feel more "real world" and give you better use of space - maybe even let you have a 3x4 pool?

[@oxhorn]

Good idea! Maybe I will revisit it.

[@huntermervyn3646]

I like segments of vaults and the building of them in general

[@Areanyusernamesleft]

It was an interesting change to see you do a Let's Build, but I think the shorter tutorials seem to agree with you more.

[@Barumonster]

I think I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Doesn't matter what it is, there's always something new!

[@nicememe6277]

I like this style of videos. Nice. Also Settlement supplies Expanded or Homemaker have snapable toilet stalls. If you use Settlement keywords expanded the SSex and HM menues wont get in the way or remove any vanila categories.

[@oxhorn]

Thank you!

[@Rhys1021]

+Oxhorn what's the mod that's adds place able water ? Also is it on consoles?

[@nicememe6277]

xXItSaPoTaToXx Productions The mod is called Build your own pool and is only for PC (i think).

[@Rhys1021]

+Nice meme darn it , do you think they will ever add it to besthada net

[@AuroraDawwn172]

RhysVR If you’re still looking for it for some reason you can get SOE, they have a pool section with buildable water tiles which functions as normally.

[@thatonefriend1973]

Oxhorn if you want the water clean then you should get a clean water mod it would make the pool look really nice and can you show us the decorated rooms that you built in this vid

[@Dave-qq6rg]

pool idea looks great i plan to do the same think love to see more building in vault , good work on pool

[@alainbelanger865]

I enjoyed that Ox . An idea for a video maybe explaining the different pieces what snaps with what and different tips and tricks?

[@killerwayne6685]

This man is a ledgend

[@VersatileKing13]

Great video. I'd definitely watch more of these. The only complaint I have with your build here is you don't have a hallway before the bathroom, so people are forced to walk through the bathroom in order to get to the next level. Looking forward to seeing everything nice and decorated!

[@tombotr]

I had no idea until this video that those other supports were for the staircases. Mind blown.

[@thomasthewest03]

I recommend Scrap Everything. Life saver. Along with a few mods that add in prewar settlement objects, my sanctuary base looks good as new...sorta.

[@wordsofwarcraft4862]

Maybe you could use the neon signs as directional queues in your vault. I just use single letters on each side of the wall to tell me whats to my left or right (i.e.: "W" points me towards the water source, "P" points me towards to power source, and "E" leads me towards the exit.

[@SoloDoloPoloOlaf]

Love this type of video Oxhorn, 30min's suit it since it does not go on for to long.

[@coufar1971]

Also in regards to a toilet "Stall" mod, I want to say that Homemaker added one? The walls were under one of the tabs and allowed you to build it and snap a stall door to it, then from there you could pop a toilet inside. I'm hoping it was Homemaker at least, I have a lot of mods installed and know I had the stalls for my settlements.

[@rbarkhordar]

Yes, it is Homemaker that has the toilet stalls.

[@artmonkey22]

I love this type of video. I feel like I learn a lot. Awesome job.

[@mewmew34]

Ok, need to go download that water mod. That is awesome.

[@keithmichael9965]

I build on Xbox 1. I use the SOE mod, Do It Yourshelf, Mist workshop, DFSP (Stable), Quaz's Craftables. Pretty sure DFSP has stalls. Use the Xbox 1 filter on the Nexus. A few good ones.

[@Newjourney14]

and this is why i never really messed with the building mechanism in fallout 4. i had settlements but mostly just used the pre built structures of sanctuary. building only pre made shops and farming etc etc. i didn't have the time or patience to try and build my own buildings.

[@lars1701again]

I put some flat wall lights on the walls of the pool and it looks pretty cool

[@danwebb6766]

That was surprisingly fun to watch.

[@HenryW9]

Homemaker comes with toilet stalls, you can find them in HM > Furniture > Fixtures :)

[@mattf3329]

I've got a mod that added loads of new items to craft, which includes a legit toilet stall. It is labelled DFEP on my settlement crafting screen.

[@wispwolf5835]

I'm guessing considering the date of this posting, you have already found a mod but CWSS is a really great bathroom mod with a lot of options that you might find useful.I just got this DLC and have been completely confused on how to build, it is so different from regular settlements. Your videos have been helpful. Thanks.

[@ablueman2008]

with how meticulous you are about clipping I'm really surprised you were OK with the stairs to the outside :D my ocd would have moved those stairs. still nice work. you just taught me how to build inside a vault. so thanks.

[@ThrottleKitty]

Suddenly my vault feels much more organized. o_o

[@anaseman9558]

Pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing what lighting you use. Personally, I think party lights would look good in the cave area if you strung them on the ceiling. (Mod)

[@dylanaiken6137]

Woohoo! super excited for this let's play! Thanks Ox!!

[@RFAurora]

Oxhorn, did you find a way to seal off the other entrances/exits in Vault 88, like the one in the subway tunnel? Just wondering because I have been trying to figure out how to seal it without much success.

[@MillenniumGaming1014]

he's the reason why we should have birth control

[@MrFelixBurns]

In order to light up you vault without putting wall lights: Put the flat Florescent Square lights inside the roof.

[@lanterneric]

I am building my vault 88 your tutorials really help me THANK you.

[@dianabowman7042]

Hey Oxhorn your one of the best fallout 4 building videos i have ever seen i have the vault tec workshop on ps4 and i made a pretty sick small vault. Thanks :)

[@Saintfan24]

Seems like marquee letters might be useful in labeling hallways, so you know where you're going.

[@oxhorn]

Yeah I plan to label the whole thing eventually.

[@mattw65]

Ah ha, but we have the 'Place Anywhere' mod on console now!

[@mandala314]

My settlers won't get out of the flippin pool! So I put an atrium floor/doorway inside the pool, and they walk out and go back upstairs to the pool deck. I figured there's a "force field" holding in water at the doorway, it's the FUTURE!

[@rickramirez2366]

I enjoy ur videos oxhorn your fallout 4 videos u make are like a bible to me thank you for taking the time out of ur life to make these videos

[@markusthieme3451]

hi Oxhorn if you ant to snap a Staircase or narrow hallway to a Atrium Door you dont need to place Doorways between them. regards

[@riverbrandybrook]

love this :) your videos have completely changed how I play the game

[@kate1361]

Cool build, would love to see it decorated though

[@tomsko100]

I'm impressed by both your engineering craft and you're patience. I feel the components should have been sorted better, or even made some tutorial, cause it's frustrating and annoying to figure out what clicks together. I had to build around 20 parts, and just try and fail to see what connected. And without mods, it's damn near impossible to snap some things. But good work!

[@Ramonus81]

a very supportive video :-p Personally I think the concrete stairs might look better in the pool.

[@quiqueboul]

Hello, Nice job ! Did you make a tour of the final build ? Thks

[@Kakiharaswife]

I'm able to scrap those building thingies just fine :O

[@williamcahoon2711]

have you tried to place some type of plant life outside along some of the windows and then maybe light the outside area where the plants are?

[@SyntheticaYT]

Do you use mods to give yourself more building materials? I have found that I am running out of some materials like copper super fast decorating and lighting.

[@sn0man199]

he doesn't- what he does is dungeon dive and collect every piece of junk in the dungeon. Ox made a video on it recently- go check it out!

[@Biggun762]

How about trim pieces on the edges of the pool?

[@troykissinger5513]

Been watching loved the pool but i had a question I've never been able to get settlers to leave first sector of vault 88 so why build settler stuff past it or will they with mods

[@themonkysuncle]

Hey Ox, Homemaker has stall walls but needs a patch to work with Vault tech. Your vault looks great. I went to small in the first area, but will make it up using the others. Thanks for the help and inspiration.

[@lrg162]

Hey Oxhorn - Homemaker - Expanded Settlements has bathroom stalls and doors, plus the toilets, sinks and shaving drawers and tonnes of other "decorations" and 'Fixtures" (even filled soap holders and toilet roll dispensers). It actually added (or enabled) about 75% of the stuff that was added with things like Wasteland Workshop and even some of the things from the Vault-Tec DLC, before those DLC's were even mentioned. When I watch your video's on "whats new in xxx DLC" I keep thinking "but I already have that?"" Seems the modders are way ahead of Bethesda, or Bethesda simply copy/pasted their mods and called it DLC

[@simsdiver5201]

+Oxhorn do you have problems with raiders spawning INSIDE your vault since your vault is basically a maze? I know where the spawn points are and put a ton of traps/boulders there (i.e. at the secret entrances you had to clear earlier in the Vault DLC questline) But this does NOT appear to stop the game from spawning the NPCs--then magically teleporting them directly into the main cavern where you first met the overseer. So unless the vault prefab structures (and hopefully doors) you build into the caverns can block the NPCs from entering the vault, then there doesn't appear to be a reason to waste workshop resources...

[@oxhorn]

No, since I fortified all 3 spawn points, I never even see enemies in the vault anymore (they die too quickly). The problem with walls, traps, and physical obstacles as defenses is enemies can teleport through them, especially if you are far away and the game is trying to deliver enemies to you. Instead, kill them as soon as they spawn with missile turrets.

[@simsdiver5201]

***** Ok then that's a big relief. I'm assuming by spawn killing with missles that you've got lazers and the Contraptions DLC saturating all of the 3 spawn point entry areas where NPCs spawn right? like several turrents and saw traps in that storeroom that leads directly to University Point on the outside? Thanks so much for that insight. It really helped!

[@oxhorn]

Sure, you can see my defenses in my Vault 88 build video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6PMomeAhqhlf5o

[@themonkysuncle]

Keep up these build videos. Unlike others you know when to cut the boring stuff.

[@oxhorn]

Thanks! Will do

[@coolsosa915]

Oxhorn, WHERE can I get rubber? I'll go out and get about 200 units, then come back to my vault and go through it like butter!

[@murpheey]

Tires a good source of Rubber; they give around 20 each I believe. Alternatively, The Doctor in Diamond City sells shipments of 25 rubber.

[@coolsosa915]

Sir Chris I've looted/scrapped every tire I can find, and I'm good friends w/ Dr. Sun as well as Fallout's version of Dr. Nick lol. I buy "rubbers" from them every time I run out. I think I just need to farm and clear buildings for a few hours.

[@BrozanJal]

how did you connect your vault to the east sector? I couldn't get hallway's through the narrow train tunnels that seem to be the only connection to that area.

[@sn0man199]

You can use something like the select all glitch, or, you can use the place anywhere mod. I'm not sure if there are any other ways though.

[@greatbrandini3967]

There is a second entrance to that area that is covered by a limestone wall. I was able to build tunnels up the narrow area which comes out behind the water treatment plant

[@lillyd2311]

I really liked the video, following along is interesting. What was that music you were listening to?

[@adamferdinand5735]

I want to add this mod, but I've read that it unequips Pip Boy on entering water and it causes save bloat whenever a settler uses the shower that comes with the mod. The mod author stopped updating it, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.

[@RogueDarkAgent]

I love fallout 4 and have built many many great settlements but this vault building feels like a chore I've built the overseers office , quarters with upstairs nursery and a cafeteria but I'm wondering whether there's enough content to support it when it's done or just the same old 're hash of settleers arriving and being assigned a post don't get me wrong I love it but I'm on ps4 and just wondering if it's worth it I can't see any water tiles either so I'm guessing that's part of your pc mods. Thanks for the info happy gaming

[@ThePacman1986]

It has been 3 years from now that my version of F4 was playable (too many bugs, too many outdated mods). But when I tried to recreate your swimming pool in my game I was a little disappointed. Not about the construction but two other things: 1. I couldn't find a mod to purify the water so I can watch my settlers swim. 2. My settlers never ever left the atrium except the "synth settlers" i put in my sports bar with robot home defence. So it was my own personal place where only my companions came to visit. After watching F4 videos again after such a long time, I'll try to clean up my Steam data and start fresh with a little less DLC and mods. I hope i can plan and build my dream vault very soon again.

[@thelonelygamer361]

I'm not sure if this is a glitch just in my game but I was able to place a top and bottom wall in the same place to get a one story room. Also I would like to see more of this in conjunction with the normal stuff (but if I had to pick one it would be the usual stuff).

[@paulspydar]

how did you get it so big? I could only build in one sector.I would of tried & use the cafeteria floors for the pool because they have the chequered pattern.I havnt played for weeks (ran out of things to do) are those water tiles standard content or mods?

[@blazeofglory1260]

Can you make a video about the counter pylons im having trouble with them

[@kyske]

can you make a pool in the wasteland area? Without mods?

[@joshb3233]

Which mod is it that allows you to place pieces without them conflicting with other pieces/environment?

[@scottb5617]

Great video bud, was about to use this mod I downloaded the other day BYOP. Question, Is there anyway to get power to come on from the other sectors if its NOT connected to the main atrium section? Like off the Red workshop like things from the other sectors?

[@oxhorn]

No, you would have to build a new fusion reactor (or other power source) to power the non-connected wings.

[@scottb5617]

What I thought, like how I powered the water purifier in the vault. Thanks man keep up the vids!

[@puawahine]

Homemaker has toilet stalls, as far as mods go. It's on Nexus

[@ZamboniZone]

How did you get the stairs to work in the pull? My friend was having trouble with that
