Somerville Place - a cozy and realistic fallout 4 settlement build! (no mods)

that letter board is brilliant! in past builds i’d gone crazy trying to find something nice to stick letters to. gonna have to keep that in mind

[@IfThenCreate]

I was SO thrilled that it worked!!!!

[@TheDJBostock]

"Is he trash talking synths? This guy sucks..." cracked me up something fierce.

This has become my new favorite youtube series, I love it so much and get so excited every time a new one pops up. :D

[@personalizedapple3740]

WOOO more building videos!!! Preston Smoking in the beginning is killing me lol

[@IfThenCreate]

Preston at 1:01:49 is literally killing me 🙃

[@ewigengeist]

I screamed when I saw the lovely count. Slay queen! Love your videos.

[@IfThenCreate]

Thank you!!! 💕

[@nathanwhite64]

Where is the lovely count? I use "lovely" as kind of an ironic descriptor (along with "groovy," "peachy keen," "delightful," etc) in real life. I've never heard someone use it unironically until now.

[@Toxicsofas]

I get so excited when i see a new video since I found you!! I tend to build along on my own settlements with you and its so cosy!! ty for your wonderful videos

[@IfThenCreate]

That makes me so happy to hear!!

[@Haunted_Gallows]

An important view, "Once peoples' basic needs are met, they can support the Commonwealth (the world) becoming a better place." Something to be said twice and loudly to make sure all the friendos in the back can hear.

[@nathanwhite64]

I like putting the radiation arch at the entrance to the clinic. Then I put the propeller generator on top of the clinic powering the arch. The idea is that radiation storms generate a lot of wind which powers the radiation arch.

[@woodmastergaming5795]

That's an awesome idea 😮😊

[@geminiroe84]

Preston has legit been the house cat of this cozy build , he's been in the weirdest places at the worst times 😆 😅

[@iCassidyAnn]

*lovely counter* - you’ve done it again. Another perfectly relaxing fallout 4 video for me to watch when I’m anxious, over-stimulated, burnt out, etc. Thank you for sharing your Fallout world with us! ❤

[@nathanwhite64]

Props for trying to wingman the mayor. You really look out for your settlers.

[@rickygames6208]

You seem to never run out of build ideas! The disco/diner has to be one of the coolest ideas ive seen. Love your videos!

[@Brendan_0wl]

Absolutely adore this series, thanks for all your hard work General o7

[@bigbouncyball1237]

Ive played fallout for hundreds of hours but have never been down to this settlement. I cant even picture where this is. Love your videos, excited to see more!

[@lialeth7982]

I always turn Jamacia Plains into a Cat Cafe. I’d LOVE to see your cozy take on that type of cozy build. ❤

[@nicktoenjes88]

I love how you can transform these settlements that I have barely given a second thought before into a location I look forward to building in, also you have great vibes

[@The_Time_Change]

I feel like you should out them in vault suits and some armor racks in like lab coats in the school.

[@IfThenCreate]

THAT’S SO CLEVER

[@Lauraneeeefr]

I love these building videos!!❤❤❤ you always come up with great ideas that would make any settler lucky to live there

[@toobin8r]

Really lovely seeing you get to do your take on Somerville, because I know this particular settlement’s known for causing a lot of problems for people, just because a lot of times no one seems to know what to do with it. I’ll maybe have to borrow some of your ideas the next time I boot Fallout up

[@guylee0]

This was an excellent video! I love your imagination. Great job 👏

[@sofiablomquist8394]

I find the warehouse floorpieces excellent for patching ceilings. They seem to be more forgiving to obstacles. I am really influenced by you in my builds this time. My Somerville build, built before this video, lacks a school though. I will have to get those kids a teater.

[@LitcheTheArsm]

The school really had me 🥹🥹 lettering board is genius!

[@kadieisacrab]

I love your settlement building videos. I’ve been watching them at work and your voice is so relaxing. “That’s lovely.”🥰

[@PfunkyMike]

I keep waiting for "And a happy little shack goes here...". My new favorite FO4 creator

[@EldenStarsofRuin]

I adore your videos! They're so lovely (I'm so sorry, I had to). I noticed that the vase was getting knocked down when Pres was sitting down and saw the chairs were really close to the table so when NPCs sit down they clip and knock things off tables. It's happened to me in the past.

[@IfThenCreate]

Ohh you’re totally right, I’ll scooch those father out. Thanks!!

[@barbaraa.8422]

i absolutely love your building videos!!

[@LumiMoonCh]

There are vaults, possibly very close, where they could have dragged the decontamination arch from once the extra settlers showed up.

[@IfThenCreate]

Oooo absolutely

[@ioriiiiiiiii]

I love how your videos have captions that makes me really happy

[@IfThenCreate]

I’m glad!! If you ever see a mistake in them just let me know! It takes a while to do, but the automatically generated captions are just so inaccurate 😅

[@75blain]

What i give some of my doctors are the white t shirts and combat pants so they look like field doctors. Thanks for the great content and hello from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦

[@IfThenCreate]

That’s such a clever idea, love that!!

[@Marcus-sz2tg]

Absolutely loving your videos .. my wee settlements are taking shape thanks to your attention to detail and texture so thank you :)

[@melissam4136]

“That’s lovely” merch AS@P. ! ❤ you’re the best! Someone commented you are the Bob Ross of Fallout and they are 💯

[@imthatguyk.j.6747]

18:02 there must be a traumatic backstory to that dude lol

[@Touchofaweepingangel]

I’ve had problems with this settlement randomly not having certain stores too! I think it was the food one for me too. The next time I visited it, it was magically there.

[@mephistophelicpierogi]

Looks good. I appreciate the clinic + generator shed area most.

[@lialeth7982]

I feel like we should switch the chem station and the patient bed. The chem station might scare the kids.

[@IfThenCreate]

Ooooh that’s such a good point

[@VibinBryan]

preston teleporting through the roof into your nice table setup was funny

[@lauramarjoram2692]

With the guard towers you can place 3 per guard, they walk around all 3.

[@LuckyCharms-xu1ck]

I always like to make a concrete or metal rad storm building here. i assume radstorms are more frequent and stronger here. I also give them a decontamination arc in.

[@IfThenCreate]

Ooo I LOVE the idea of a place to wait out rad storms!

[@sinnamon-wade]

51 minutes into the video i look over and see a lovely counter hahaha, i love that

[@dahliako]

These settler commentaries are killing me 😂😂😂 I love your reactions!! Curious if you’ve seen the tv show now - they had a scene in a fully green forest and I thought of you because you mentioned in an earlier video that you didn’t know why all the trees were still dead after 200+ years hahaha ❤️

[@dahliako]

Also I think the schoolhouse may be my favorite thing you’ve built, that or the speakeasy from Starlight Drivein…ooh but now that I’m remembering, Codsworth’s Clothes n Cafe was also lovely!!!!

[@IfThenCreate]

I’ve only seen episode one so far!! I’m so excited for more!

[@loisbryan-evans7396]

Love your videos as always! I wonder if you can have polls to decide where you build next? I love applying the ideas and fun ways you build to my own settlements! - Lois :)

[@tmsteele2000]

I love your videos! Will you build Far Harbor settlements? I've just started, and the locations are so interesting. You have to build around existing structures quite a bit, but the scrapping is so satisfying when you scrap a broken dresser and all the debris goes with it. *chef's kiss* I'd love to see what you do with that.

[@MunkingtonSly]

Starting playing my first time of any fallout games, just finished making peace in far harbor, I love the game but I’m a huge noob to the game still, love your content though on building side

e Excellent, you have replaced Oxhorn as my favorite KZbinr for Fallout 4. I build settlements all the time in every play through. And most definitely you are lovely.

[@selfcarewithashley6801]

Houses in this new bed 😂 love it

[@Dragonrumpus]

I know it doesn't matter too much for the builds themselves, especially if using godmode; but this far out location made me think of provisioner supply lines & wonder if there might be a little stopping station for them at certain settlements

[@StarQ_One]

Nicely done.

[@Pollywompus]

Not the point at all but you look really pretty this episode! The curls are doin their thing 💁‍♀️

[@nicholasprine9052]

Loved the build.

[@donaldcrumbly1857]

Great job but have you considered using solar panels as a power supply a space saver, and no fumes 👍🏽

[@renaigh]

I forgot this settlement existed because I rarely spend much time near the southern edge of the map.

[@alexanderwalsh8365]

Another lovely settlement. Do you find some settlements kind lend themselves to be specific companions' Home locations? I considered this one as a place for Codsworth (Macready lives at The Castle where he gets to be a soldier and wear a Minutemen hat).

[@IfThenCreate]

Absolutely! He’s not really a companion, but I always put the Vault-Tec rep in Vault 88, I think after all that time he deserves vault entry

[@alexanderwalsh8365]

@@IfThenCreate Perfect! I wonder if someone else might feel more comfortable with a "rocky ceiling above his head" now you mention Vault 88. Cait is living with the Abernathy family for a spell to help with her recovery

[@johnmarkiewiczjr4227]

I’m not sure if u ever tried but instead of using floors or roofs to repair any holes in the roof try to use carpet sometimes carpet covers holes in the roof amazingly

[@IfThenCreate]

Oo that’s a great tip, thank you!

[@Duchess-of-Camelot]

I've had that same glitch with food/bar tab disappearing. It usually clears up by restarting the game or leaving the settlement and returning.

Do you know about the rug and wire glitch?

[@OwliSketches]

I like you and your builds are fun, but I have some questions. Why don’t you use your pip light more often, I see you did in this video, and why don’t you use any glitches like the wire glitch or the rug, campfires, pillar etc…

[@IfThenCreate]

I forget about the pip light sometimes 😅 I do use some glitches, but not a lot, most of what I want to make is pretty simple

[@OwliSketches]

@IfThenCreate i get that, you're very fun to watch! I can't handle being on camera, haha

[@KanuKanu11]

Everytike i try to build there the furniture goes through the floor every time. It happens on all my characters. How did you get around it

[@the_drownedrat]

Hi I wanted to ask, I don't know if you have ever mentioned it before, how do you get access to all the workshop items? It's my first time playing 4 and I know there are more items to build with I just don't know how to get access to them

[@IfThenCreate]

Some are from DLCs, or picket fences magazines. Any in particular you’re curious about?

[@the_drownedrat]

​@@IfThenCreate I would love to know about the placable candles, if that's apart of a dlc or something I can get in game. I've also seen some people use neon letter lights before and I feel like that's a dlc thing but I could be wrong

[@the_drownedrat]

I've also seen like train cars before which seem really cool

[@IfThenCreate]

@@the_drownedratI think the candles and neon letters are both part of the Wasteland Workshop DLC

[@the_drownedrat]

@@IfThenCreate ahh okay, thank you so much!

[@sarahshroom]

I figured out that if I put an item back in my inventory and drop it again, it avoids the problem where it won't straighten back up in workshop mode! resets the item

[@johnhamilton748]

The Bell that gathers the people around would have been cool outside the school 🔔

Why was Preston holding that cigarette looking sideways at you when the video started? Disagreement about how the settlement should be set up, perhaps?

He actually just told me about his tragic backstory and I didn’t initiate romance, so maybe it’s just anxiety from oversharing.
