Fallout 4 - Nordhagen Beach Settlement Build Tour

[@FiddleflapsVids]

The blueprint for this settlement is now available on Nexusmods: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/78856/

[@monkeyboi5341]

Hey can you make pre build mods for PS4 on Bethesda website because I struggle to build so I want you to make an ultimate pack of pre build of all your settlements in one mod instead of sim settlements because there is no sim settlements on ps4 and I also want you to also add a scrapping ability to I can scrap walls and doors and other things I don't want.

[@monkeyboi5341]

And love your builds by the way as a viewer and soon when I fix my PS4 and clean it and no main menu errors I would install your pre build mods if you successfully make them.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

@@monkeyboi5341 My settlements are all built in game and the mod I use to export them is PC only as it requires the script extender. I also don’t own a PS4 (or any current gen console) and would not feel comfortable releasing mods for a format that I could not check and test myself first.

[@monkeyboi5341]

@@FiddleflapsVids well I wonder if you can let someone else do it and give someone permission to do the PS4 modding thing

[@teletraantv2249]

there was nothing but a beach there and you turned it into a whole seaside settlement that looks like it grew over the ages, that looks so lived in and believable, I love it

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁

[@whoareyouyouareclearlylost323]

Yes! And I still can't believe it's not in the base-game

[@geekgethlol]

We ain't gonna talk about this guy's ability to literally make something not only big, but beautiful out of some cabin?? Unbelievable! Amazing work, literal art, as expected! The structure, the decor, the views.. Stunned. I just admire places that are by the sea. 👏

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Must admit it felt good to move that poor family out of their little cabin and into a proper home, along with providing some company and places to enjoy their beach side location 😁. Really pleased to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁

[@whoareyouyouareclearlylost323]

So true, this place used to be a cabin 😱

[@Sonic_Obscurities]

its great how your builds are always realistic lived in and used , nice one.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Thanks! 🙏😁

[@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

For some reason I really like the Super Duper Mart sign on the general store. It adds to the skyline of the town in a nice way!

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Thanks! I have always liked the thought of the store owner wandering the wastes and stumbling across that sign in a pile of rubble, thinking “I am so having that!” and then dragging it all the way back to the settlement just to decorate their store 😂

[@dwarf_nz483]

"IT'S ALIVE!" - Henry Frankenstein 1931. Part way through the build process I commented that it was, back then, starting to develop a sense of community. Well now, post decorating phase, that quote from the 31-vintage Frankenstein seems quite appropriate for a build which now truly feels like it's a living breathing thing. This for me is one of your best builds so far. I love it and am going to have to watch it over and over to try and absorb every little detail you have so lovingly crafted into it.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Really pleased to hear you liked the final result, and also thanks for all your comments as the build progressed, they greatly appreciated! 🙏😁👍

Imagine sitting on the dock fishing and drinking some nuka cola to watch the Prydwen blow up and crashing into the ground at night. Great work as always Fiddle.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Really pleased to hear you liked what I have done with your favourite settlement, many thanks! 🙏😁👍

[@Fan_of_the_hobby]

So, I’m stuck on what to do at sanctuary, I have the idea of a fort that grew, the player house and the workshop house being the start. But after that I’m grounded, my idea is that sanctuary is joint occupied by mm and bos, the bos helped build the fort over time, and this is unmodded btw… ideas are very much appreciated. Thank you for any comments that are made.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Sounds to me like you already have a pretty good plan for the location 😉👍 Depending on how big you are going to go with the fort I would try to include a mess hall and armoury along with dormitory’s and perhaps an officers sleeping quarters? As the space is going to be shared between the MM and BOS you could build a village around the outskirts of the fort. Seems natural for people to want to settle near a well defended position that could provide them protection, and would also be able to help keep the fort supplied. With that in mind the village would ideally feature a couple of farms to provide plenty of food, and as the fort would probably attract a lot of traffic maybe have shops and stores along the mains routes to and from it? Hope that gives some you ideas, and of course you could always check out what I did with the place for a few more 😅🤣.

@@FiddleflapsVids thank you for the response, I was looking for something unique, and I wanted a professional on the subject of unmodded builds

[@ryanlock57]

Love this, are you using any mods for static clutter? Or are you balancing them all yourself and hoping they dont go flying everywhere 😂

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Thanks! The only mod used for the build is Place Everywhere, which I also use to make all the junk decoration static. So no matter how hard the clumsy settlers or odd rampaging Brahmin try, my carefully place junk always stays in place 🤣.

The decoration you do is always what impresses me the most. I would not mind seeing a video of you going through the decoration process of a building at some point.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Thanks! It’s a very time-consuming process and so prefer to do it ‘off camera’, and often takes lots of fiddling to get everything looking right. I did make a one-off video during the Starlight Drive in build showing off the process which you might enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5qshqN7mNmnrbMsi=fLSI1luUItBhxol6

[@xanadu2469]

@@FiddleflapsVids awesome thank you! Do you use any mods besides place everywhere for more furniture / decoration options?

[@FiddleflapsVids]

@xanadu2469 I don’t use any mods that add decoration items, which also makes life so much simpler for people who want to use my blueprints as they don’t have to download a bunch of additional mods 😉. I do use console commands to spawn in some additional objects that you normally cannot build, such as the boats used in the Nordhagen build. It’ slightly frustrating that these objects are already in the game but Bethesda never gave us the option to use them via the standard build menus 😔.

quick question, are all your builds on one save file, like when your playing are are you builds actually there?

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Yes, all the builds featured on the channel (except the Gun for Hire Office as that’s a modded location) are on the same save. The main goal of this playthrough is to a create a save where I have built up each location including the DLC’s 👍.

[@emmaslemmax]

What you have built is truly amazing! I love the use of console commands to spawn in things we dont have in the build menu! If its not too much work, do you think you make a list of things you usually spawn in? I've seen that you added some of them to the description but I would love a complete list! Would be super useful!

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! I am in the process of re-formatting my list of object ID’s into something that I am a little more comfortable sharing with others. What started as a simple text file has grown into a slightly chaotic bloated mess, with lots of ID’s that either don’t work or I have no idea what they are 😳😅. So for my own sanity will be adding it all to a Google Sheet and linking it in the channel banner when ready, and then plan to update it as I find and use new ID’s.

[@timclemensen4386]

This is absolutely spectacular!!

[@FiddleflapsVids]

[@CrossTrooper-7589]

I know you have done a lot of settlement builds on the channel but I am wondering if you would ever consider doing a purely vanilla builds. No mods and just resources from base game and DLC. Even using exploits and glitches like the rug glitch for example. Not saying, I don’t appreciate all the work you’ve done I’m just merely suggesting

[@FiddleflapsVids]

If I am honest, probably not 😔. I know people enjoy the challenge of doing pure vanilla builds and can see the appeal. Unfortunately, I never enjoyed having to fight with the games vanilla building mechanics to try and build what I wanted and just found it frustrating rather than rewarding. As I do this for fun using Place Everywhere is sort of a requirement as I just don’t enjoy building without it.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Great to hear you like it, thanks! I make heavy use of the wooden prefabs in petty much all my builds. When planning I find they are a great way to quickly ‘block’ out the settlements layout, and get an idea of where each structure will be and if everything is spaced correctly.

Hi,i have a problem with items in my settlements.The items that I put on tables/shelves fall through them. How can i fix that?😟

[@FiddleflapsVids]

Junk items have always been unstable and have a tendency to fly off surfaces when fast travelling back to a location (or knocked over by settlers), but they should not fall through tables and shelves when initially placed so not sure what’s happening there… I use the Place Everywhere mod to make any objects I place static so they are locked into place, maybe that might be of help? www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9424

I recently watched a video of you building a red rocket and saw how you seemed to turn off the physics of the placed objects so that they would not fall or fall under the textures (food, water, etc.) What button can you use to activate this?

It’s a feature of the Place Everywhere mod, pressing the END key turns off the physics for a highlighted object, and can be turned back on using HOME.

[@FiddleflapsVids]

The boats (along will all the other objects used that are not normally buildable) were added using the _placethere_ console command followed by the objects Form ID. These can either be looked up in the Creation Kit or some can be found on the Fallout Wiki: fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_4_vehicles Objects spawned using this command normally cannot be moved without additional console commands which is really fiddly, to get around this I use Place Everywhere’s ‘extra object selection’ mode.
