I had to do a double take, a Cord Fallout video? In 2024?????

[@thomaside1945]

Fr same did not expect that would happen lol

[@1Draesx]

Cause of tv show trend, but i'm glad since I still play the game, although i need mods at this point.

[@schitzoflink8612]

Right?!!

[@Crimson_Snakes]

ONG This is nuts

[@cb_blurr6769]

The king is back

[@loganbrown5373]

Returns out of nowhere, drops absolute banger, refuses to elaborate. Neat!

[@The_Gallowglass]

It is good to change things up and not let people know it is coming. :D

[@-Patali-]

Bug returns

[@CaporegimeMarcus]

I love how so many of the Fallout KZbinrs we used to watch during the peak of Fo4 are coming back! Glad to see you back in fallout! 🎉

[@Tracylynn62]

same here

[@theinsaneshecklador6598]

Imagine if Jug came back with a new 50 tips and tricks vid after all this time.

[@FatalTalons]

Just need vynlicpuma to start uploading again and we're so back

[@charlie7mason]

This just goes to show how much of a good game Fallout 4 is, despite people always hectoring Bethesda. Not perfect, but not as bad as some *cough* nv fanbois *cough* would have you believe. Glad the show rekindled people's interest and love for Fallout in general.

[@AmyNewfoundland]

R! Pp​@@theinsaneshecklador6598

[@CreepyLilPanda]

Turning the floors to all face the same direction is something I spend half my time friggen doing when building in Fallout 4. I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this because it bothers me SO much when I see a spot where it's facing the wrong way. LOL

[@tassey]

Reminds me of why I installed Place Anywhere. Saved my sanity. But I remember your old builds. You and Norespawns got me to start playing Fallout 4 all those years ago.

[@TheBadash44]

QWAPA and USO can be a nightmare to work with in my opinion. I use them, but I’ve noticed a lot of bugs in my game with them.

[@tassey]

@@TheBadash44 I just use place everywhere or anywhere, one for the PC. I also use Sim Settlements 2 for most of my building lately. Haven't played FO4 very recently though. It is all very chaotic.

[@MultiSpeedMetal]

I like how trashy yet civilized it looks. Gives that post post-apocalyptic vibe. Wish Bethesda designed settlements like this instead of garbage everywhere with holes in every wall and the ceiling.

[@jimmydelyra2475]

I LITERALLY CHECKED ON YOUR CHANEL EARLIER TODAY, seeing how everyone’s playing fallout again and was disappointed to find that there were no new videos from you and not an hour later you POST THIS BANGER! Hope to see more from you!!!! ❤❤❤

[@JeremyRichard82]

Thanks for exposing how woefully inadequate my settlement building skills really are. Good stuff!

[@vanzhant]

Appears out of nowhere with a fallout video after 2 years of nothing. The legend returns! I hope to see many more settlement builds that include bathrooms lol. You were my inspiration to really get into settlement building.

[@kaitheguy7832]

At 21:00 there is actually a method of sinking the pillar into the floor without having to delete it. If you place a campfire on the floor, a pillar can sink through it. I guess the game considers the campfire as the ground. I'm sure this tip will save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future

[@CatalystEcho]

Someone probably already mentioned this, but I was watching your decorating part and realized there is a vanilla trick you might not know. Since things won't sink into player built structures, you can use the campfire item on top of the floor to create a sink point inside a player built structure. The farm plot also works for this but it is larger and sometimes harder to place. But if you can get it in, it gives you more wiggle room to get things perfectly lined up. You may already know about this. I was just so pleased with myself for knowing something that could help so I figured I'd comment. Awesome video and build. I love the way it turned out and I am definitely going to try some of the things you showed for decorating.

[@Afatalkiss]

🤣🤣🤣 I should’ve checked the comments I just commented the same thing. You can also use the standing ashtray to merge his computer into a table as long as the top of its keyboard is sticking out at least

[@jimbootx]

Absolutely genius design, the last one was awesome but def gave that simple Minecraft vibe. I’m gonna take a lot of inspiration with the interior pieces when I start making Egret Manor my beach home

[@Notalizardspy]

I just followed the old guide yesterday for my sanctuary build

[@atlas94450]

This is great! I was watching your old videos of Fall Out. I've played the game tons of times but only now getting into MODing and focusing more on settlement building. Settlements is almost an entire game on its own. Thanks for posting!

[@averagemug_music]

Holy cow, The prophecies are true! A cordless Fallout video!

[@zakariahherrera514]

Wow was literally just checking out your videos and was bummed when I saw that recent video was uploaded a year ago. Nice to know you’ve still got a passion for this!

[@Valee_7]

Let’s go he’s back!!!

[@garar5613]

Not really into building except for interior but decided to watch the whole video and learnt so much, and omg your interior did not dissappoint. I was so impressed, deffo stealing some ideas thank u :)

[@SantaVsGod]

So glad to see you back on youtube dude, loved your videos back in the day. I've been building in Fallout 4 again and your videos have always inspired me to do more interesting and exciting builds!

[@gregthepeglegpregdreg]

man I remember figuring out so many of these things on my own way back in the day, seeing this brings back fond memories of hours of suffering as I tried to build large intricate settlements.

[@HawkknightXC88]

This is so great! Looks like a real home from the past with a living room, bar kitchen, and upstairs is the best with the power armor. You have great talent in building Settlements.

[@TheRebelAEdammit]

Been subbed since you had 2k, so glad to see you back making Fallout videos. All of my settlements in Fallout 4 look so much better thanks to your tips.

[@seabap5673]

He’s back! I actually started playing fallout 4 recently so I’m glad

[@katkong281]

Wow this is one of the most tasteful FO4 builds I've seen! You've got a knack for design, very impressive

[@elaineauslander6282]

Glad you're back...always loved your builds....hope to see more like this!

[@simdrew1993]

Great video! I still remember years ago your underground Vault 88 build that was like Pre-War Sanctuary, that was awesome. Really wish you released some of your builds like that one especielly, because they were spectacular. Anyway, you've been a big inspiration and have taught us alot! Seems like forever since I've seen a video from you.

[@CIoudStriker]

Such a pretty, dense build! Great work!

[@jessehallam3639]

Making me feel like a kid again Cord 🥹

[@ThatCampingOwl]

This... this is absolutely outstanding and as charming as it gets, I'll get on construction immediately! Thank you SO much for the inspiration and blueprint!

[@chrisplants8735]

I've never been more impressed with a build until now. Will definitely be taking notes :)

[@CharlesSmith-io9fp]

It's good to have you back. I watched when you built the original house, so seeing you revisit it is pretty cool. What's even better is that I'm still subscribed. 🖖I'll keep an 👁 out for more videos.

[@jassassine6973]

I thought I was seeing 👀 things when this notification appeared... Great! to see you strap on the tool belt again Cord 😁.

[@amc83]

I love this house so much. I am going to build this in my sanctuary. Definitely! Keep up the great videos!

[@CRAZED14hazed]

It's like a dream, mixed with a memory! You made my week and my month my guy! So much positive emotion sweeping over me like the shockwave after an atomic blast

[@Shae_Sandybanks]

Filling the spaces with junk looks great! I love making it look lived in like that.

[@dominikalterman7440]

Dude I literally watched that video for the first time yesterday, that's hilarious. Very useful videos bro!

[@marcpayne9117]

So glad your back building in fallout 4 I’m addicted to your builds love your work keep them coming

[@scrappybuilds]

Hi! Your builds were a big part of my inspiration to get into building myself. You helped me develop my toolset. So thanks! Great to see you back in the saddle!

[@caspiveis4915]

Do you know what mods is he using for the construction? What kind of workshop items expansion is that?

[@rontaanderson9667]

Those stairs .. I thought I was the only one.. good to see you back. I learned everything for you thank you.

[@michaelbeaumier6153]

This is the first time seeing this channel. Finally someone as OCD as I am about wood facing the same direction and this lining up perfectly!

[@gamerchair9775]

YES!! I was just thinking abt you and your vids after getting back into fallout and having the desire to build better settlements

[@carob8277]

Such a great video ! Learned a lot ! Thanks, it gave me the motivation to go full Sims lol

[@blackwulf4396]

And another legend returns to the wasteland. Welcome back Cord. Impressive rebuild of an ancient home. You OX AND general Dave are THE 3 who facilitated my fall into settlement building madness....appreciate all the work you did and welcome back

[@GrantReedIII]

I wish to give you full Kudos. This was a very good video. To be fair, it is one of the best ones I've seen. This is also the first video I've seen by you. I have been playing Fallout 4 since its release, I do not know how many hours I have on XBox, but I have more than 3450 hours on PC according to Steam. I play without mods, and yes, I play with a controller (in first person mode). I also, I have to admit, have not completed the game yet. I get distracted too easily by building and exploring. I truly appreciate the way you covered it, and appreciate the completion of the build, and then the instructions on how you did it. I also appreciate the commentary about the decoration. I also have a problem of building too big, which has also extended to Starfield and the Sims. By the way, the door you chose, was it Creation kit or Base Game + DLC

[@DonVecta]

Wait, no bathroom? I think the storage room in the first floor could have a small bathroom instead since storage can be on the second floor... or vice versa, the bathroom on the second floor, the storage on the first

[@jckdnielz6851]

DAMN UUUUUU CORD !!!! Haaaahaaaaa u gonna want to make me reinstall my game & do sum new builds lol. I always LOVED ya Fallout build vids. DO more NEW 1's lol. I like most of ya followers honestly miss ya build vids.

[@johnlinton6118]

Wow it’s been so long since I’ve seen you do a Fallout video I thought you quit doing them. Good to see you back doing it again.

[@MysticRogueMods]

So fun to see you back!

[@stuartmclean3135]

Great to see another Cordless Fallout video. Good to have you back!

[@KingK66]

Great video! I also struggle with making my buildings too big, so now I'm going to try to make some smaller stuff.

[@keithmichael9965]

Got some new ideas from your decorations. Awesome job.

[@planetdrull1701]

Big fan of the porch concept. Adding depth to builds is really one of the best ways to improve them

[@BorgWolf359]

I always love all of your Fallout 4 vids Cordless! You always make things way better than I ever could! I was stoked to see a Corless VII Fallout 4 & I knew it had to be because of the Fallout Tv show! Looking forward to season 2 of the show! Hope we get to see more Fallout vids from ya Cordless!!!

[@2jdestrodegr15]

You seem like a great funny guy. No idea what your normal content is like but the first 5 minutes convinced. Subscribed

[@domevans2725]

No way, he’s…. He’s back?!!?!?!? Also forgot to mention I’ve been here since your first few videos, (like 2016-2017) I remember one being like a settlement tour and it looked awesome and I just completely got locked in and was so entertaining, love to have ya back with some fallout settlement content

[@brendenwhittington9088]

Never saw your channel before until today, even though I’ve played Fallout 4 since release….this was fantastic

[@FreeJohnDoe2006]

Great Job Cord

[@wario70]

Glad to see you back man!

[@allenhiggins1995]

I'm so glad you are back, it genuinely brought me a feeling of happiness and nostalgia, I hope me telling you to come back a few days ago brought you some inspiration lol

[@captdrastic]

If you do the campfire glitch, you won't need to remove the floor when you pillar glitch those bar counters in. You can lay the campfire on the floor, and that let's you sink the pillar through it. It works with the garden plot too, but that's big and hard to fit.

[@boogieboo5085]

Watching you stress over placing those blocks was like watching myself. The last time I played Fallout 4, I spent 2 hours trying to line floor pieces up perfectly with the slab and stairs before putting up any walls. 🤣

[@wickedcrayon6022]

Love the house! Can’t wait to build it!

[@user-up6vq1fk2v]

Hope you're getting back to do Fallout 4 building videos on a regular basis. I really enjoyed watching your channel back in the days.

[@mukhlisz]

i like the house. thanks for sharing Cord!

[@duffborgwardt8512]

And then I had to subscribe because you're just as OCD as I am about how you build. My shit has to be perfect. You're awesome, man.

[@IslandSauce]

I remember watching this video back in like 2017/2018 while I was working on my build for the Castle because I wanted a house for the general that looked nice. Ive since taken those videos down since they were so outdated and old. But Ive been getting back into Fallout 4 and its so refreshing to see the builder community come alive again. EDIT: I also genuinely forgot to add. CordlessVII is one of the best content creators. I have had the pleasure of interacting with him in his discord server a long time ago. Genuinely an all around good person.

[@samanthasararose]

first video ive ever watched of yours and 10/10. New fan

[@adsaunders17]

A brilliant surprise to see a Cord Fallout 4 build again!! Hopefully the show has inspired a few new builds ideas!!

[@ColdfFlare]

looks like its gonna be another one of your best videos HAHA. congrats man, love the content

[@Ziiphyr]

From your intro I’m guessing this video is going to be your new top viewed video 😂 anyways I’m glad the show got the fallout hype up again and I’m discovering new channels. Subbed.

[@SantMuz]

nice of you showing all the proces, kudos my friend

[@OwliSketches]

You don’t have to remove the floor to sink the pillar into the floor, just use a fire or a planter box, since they have dirt or ground built in. Fun build, love the fireplace, going to do that next time! Ty!

[@raraviren1622]

You made the snapping in of the walls look so much easier than it is lol it's amazing

[@Splee]

YESSSSSSS YOUR BACK

[@monroeville1850]

Omg I remember watching your og video when I first started playing, I love your update!!

[@LC-yv9ey]

Welcome back. I hope to see more fallout 4 building videos, I learned so much from you.

[@steveeymann6374]

Whaaaaa!!!!? Its been so long!! Weve missed your builds brother. Watching this reminds me why workshop rearranged is permanently in my load order.

[@SweetTooth916]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I got back into the game a month ago, and barely finished the main story. I wanted to get into settlement building, but I'm not a good builder. Replicating this will be perfect for my player home.

[@rooksnemesis]

*NOTE* I have not seen too many ppl do this but.. When using the pillar technique to move anything around in a building already done.. Try "extending" the pillars reach with conduits like this. Piller + conduit + item Conduits for what ever reason damn near pass through anything.. but has an added bonus of being able to add in elbows or curves, allowing you to get different angles.. Just be sure to select and drop" the pillar first as to make it the last item touched, it prevents the mass selection from jumping.. Then after mass selection, hold A and move the selections so the pillar is outside and you can be inside to see where to line it up.

[@dirtysweatshirt]

glad to see you back cord!

[@beckiechatteris9600]

This is proper nostalgia - a Cord Fallout build video!!

[@residentevilhero5]

Bathroom pls

[@thisreplysection1050]

This just gave me the motivation to actually start building again, thanks dude Edit: I’m doing it without the fireplace as it is too mich of a pain in the ass.

[@thedorito5434]

Can you imagine if they decided to fix the pillar glitch...

[@Mixxie67]

I’m so here for more Cordless VII FO4 build videos.Please make more. We miss you.

[@isebasforeberath4271]

Man I was really excited to see you posting a new video, even better a fallout build video. I have been wondering what had happened to you since I hadn't seen anything for a while. Actually checked your page just the other day. Loved the vid. ✌️

[@twismetalturilli2832]

i must admit that i love this building of yours. I actually replicate it for the nora spouse companion on abernathy farm. Just i add a bathroom on the back door, and make a diferent deco without the power armor, and a deathclaw head on the fire place xD

[@IceColdNukaCola]

Great video, looking forward to more!

[@ratherwonderful4547]

Love the chimney. 10/10 will build.

[@Fredriksandersson]

I find this house very comforting, there is a chance that my nate had got himself a house. Like it buddy

[@sl1kvq733]

Glad to see you back man hope everything has been well

[@scottiehamilton1699]

This makes me wanna play and build again in fo4. Buidling was one of my favorite things to do in fo4.

[@svetlanaferinzze9001]

Very cool, I really like the attic bedroom👍

[@blakevinccent4928]

OH YEAH!!!! HES BACK! got to say I love this new editing style well made video!

[@dylancopella7371]

Gotta throw a "comfy pillow" on that bed! Love the build!

[@mrow7598]

I love how FO4 you can build houses decorate them etc etc. And starfield you plop down a prefab and decorate it. Or you add a predecorated ship mod.

[@razztee]

Pillar glitch just sounds right! I'm not sure who originally figured out this trick, but I was introduced to it by Skooled Zone back in the days. Can't believe you have been uploading Fallout 4 videos for so many years too and I'm just finding you :O Awesome video :) Thanks for keeping this amazing game alive.

[@kirstenmcbride4612]

I love you for being just as obsessed with the millimeter positioning of items as I am

[@alexmueller9837]

this video brought back so many memories

[@crashfisticuffs]

Great video. I started a new play through of FO4 and this will come in handy. I do most of my building in FO76. I wish we could build in the style of the different houses found in the wasteland. I would love to build a house like found in Concourd.
