Tenpines Bluff - a cozy and realistic fallout 4 settlement build! (no mods)

[@alexlindsay2662]

I love how wholesome this channel is. You make believeable settlements by providing a big touch of humanity and empathy to each place. You think logically but don't overdo it. It's still a wasteland but you're making the most of what's available to you. God bless! Ad Victoriam!

[@joshbyers9394]

Watching you build is making me want to install Fallout again. I haven't played in probably 2 years. I really love building for settlers.

[@callum37]

you really should download it again i found this channel recently and i never knew you could build like this, i downloaded it again and i’ve been stuck playing for ages i can’t stop

[@napoleon6221]

I always loved settlement building, definitely one of the best additions in Fo4

[@Old-ded-memes]

The way you perfectly lined that wall was glorious

[@sugoiboi__]

For this account to only be 3 months old, you really found your niche. Sound quality is very warm too (probably intentionally) and it adds to the soothing atmosphere of the videos. I watched the Sanctuary videos already and had to see more. Great job! You’re inspiring me to pick up and go for my YT dreams again! I only hope to have the quality and consistency that you do! (P.S. I’m also a full time engineer so it’s cool to know it’s possible)

I’ve been addicted to Fallout again recently after picking it back up for the first time since completing it originally due to the tv show. I don’t remember ever spending any time on settlements during my original play through but it’s my favourite part this time and I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m a 40 year old mum and I find it so relaxing to have your build videos playing while I’m working from home, or when I’m trying to relax. Great content, looking forward to seeing what else you create!

Great build! I tend to create a fenced off area and put 2/3 large generators in it then using pylons distribute the power to each building this way the noise can be reduced to one area (obviously with larger settlements) 😊

[@newbtechhelp]

I like how similar my thought process is to yours. I'm just terrible at putting the structures together. Your videos are so helpful.

[@sophi9059]

I’ve just realised that the sign is a giant pill, this whole time I thought it was a hot dog! I’d never looked at it properly, guess I was just swiping too quickly lol I found it super frustrating that there were no clinic signs

[@L4Disillusion]

You should see my tenpines bluff. The front has street lamps and a giant gate the whole perimeter is secured with walls and guard towers with turrets as you step inside theres 3 machine gun turrets and a missle launcher turret aimed at you. On the right the wall is just a giant bus with fire barrels and sleeping bags inside. Outside the bus is generators out back of the shack thats originally there. On top of the shack is a windmill. By the shack and bus seats and recruitment beacons. I kept the farm and just added more veggies. Then the center peice of the build. I made a 1 floor three wide house with a big porch on top of the broken house. It fits so well you can see parts of the old house inside but its completely enclosed. Next to that a giant barn worh two big white barn doors. Inside the barn power armor displays then another room with five beds. Giard posts theres four of them. They are dope too. Only need two guards to patrol them all.

[@momentofzen]

The algorithm just led me to your channel, and it’s giving me so much nostalgia ❤. Have you considered trying Fallout 76? The settlement options are so robust!

[@amandas7910]

I just got recommended your channel from YT! I love creating stuff too and am obsessed w building in random games. Like in Skyrim, all I wanna do is decorate 😂 so you have reached me and I’m so hype to see you play more stuff!

That was a very well thought out and decorated settlement! I love the bar! Honestly I will p-robably incorporate it into one of mine lol.

Love the way you build ! It’s just like me lol, adding little Knick knack things here and there like lighting and paintings for immersion haha. Great build 🔥

[@scottseibert4675]

There is posts you can use for support beams in one of the tabs I forget which one. And as far as the door opening up the wrong way I’m pretty sure you can detach the door walk inside the building then snap the door on again it should open up the other way. It’s been awhile since I’ve played fo4 so I could be wrong but doesn’t hurt to try. And if you want more space in your settlement there is a glitch I guess you can perform by dropping guns out of your inventory, go into your settlement building and pick up the guns and watch your building space drop down so you can build more within the boundary.

[@babyshiori]

i happen to be building at the same place lol didn’t even know it while watching the vid until u said it

I've always been a fan of the settlement building side of the game. I'd love it if they'd implement it into the next elder scrolls game if possible

[@Dr_Procrastinator]

i Always loved the settlement building feature. my only gripe is it always feels like something build 20 or 60 years after a nuclear holocaust and not something built well over two centuries later. as a result i never felt content with my settlement's buildings. thankfully i play on PC and Xbox so MODS TO THE RESCUE WOOHOO EDIT: LOVE your content you deserve more recognition

Thanks for the inspiration for cozy little settlement clinics. Just popping down a clinic store front never seemed like enough but anything else was always too big. Your little clinics are just the thing for some frontier doctoring. 😁

[@garmtpug]

I'm a new sub and am enjoying your videos a lot! I've been playing various permutations of F4 since it came out, but I do find the settlement building to be the most fun. Especially small and almost cramped settlements. I like to see what I can do with them. I don't try to make settlements look modern, just clean and less drafty! LOL I've got a lot of mods installed that all have to do with settlements and more items, clean everything, and adding trees, greenery, and potted plants. Also some additional animals from DLCs and New Vegas. I've also downloaded mods that add more settlement spots which is fun but can be a bit buggy. I have Hancock as romantic partner and prefer him to the others. Since I've played this game so much, the quests aren't especially intriguing, but I'm always surprised at something new I haven't seen after all these years! And I like looking in every nook and cranny to find materials and loot. Fallout 4 is a relaxing and rewarding game for me and I play a few hours every night! Keep up the great work! 🙂

You may have already been recommended this as an option, but if you go inside when placing a door, I think it will place the other way. I have not tested this myself, but you could try it so that it's not awkwardly coming out into the space you are trying to walk in.

cool build

[@SesshisGirl]

Oh ho! Fixing up Tenpine Bluffs!! I loved this. It was small and cozy. I always feel like I need to go crazy big with small settlements but you did a good job keeping it "small". Also how the heck do you get all that material?!!! I'm struggling to always have certain types in hand haha. And thanks to you I breathed some life in to Starlight Drive in. So now it feels more homey. It be cool to see you tackle large settlements like that or like Sanctuary, The Castle and such. Keep this up. This was lovely to watch!!

[@JackdawPirate]

if you're on pc, you can use the "god mode" console command, and that will give you infinite resources when building in settlement workshops. idk if there's anything like that for console as im only on PC myself. hope this helps!

[@SesshisGirl]

@@JackdawPirate there's a mod for PS4 that lets you buy 1k of ea material for 1 cap. I haven't seen any other mod though I haven't checked aside from that 1 cap per. But thank you. PC players have all the good stuff haha.

[@aarontaylor3768]

What a great video taught me so much thank you

[@nathanwhite64]

Ok ... ok ... I have a lot to say. First, you have an INSANE amount of views for apparently just starting this settlement build thing! You totally deserve them, though. Here's all my thoughts after watching all four of your build videos: After the first video, I thought: * Minutemen: Rebuild the Commonwealth by rebuilding and uniting settlements! * Institute: Rebuild the Commonwealth by SCIENCE! And EVIL! * Brotherhood: Rebuild the Commonwealth by wiping out abominations! * Institute: Rebuild the Commonwealth by freeing synths! * If/Then Create: Rebuild the Commonwealth by INTERIOR DESIGN!!! I find myself surprisingly drawn to the latter. I'm normally not a fan of ASMR, but there is a hella appealing ASMR vibe to the rhythm of your voice which makes your videos VERY engaging. They're enjoyable to watch but also to listen to. The Bob Ross of Fallout 4 videos. I have been basically making giant houses, barracks of a sort, and now feel like I've done the NPCs of the Commonwealth dirty. I'm having to go back and redo all my settlements. So ... thanks for that. I did make sure they ALL had excellent weapons and armor so they could defend themselves, even the farmers. But now I feel compelled to buy up all the ballistic fiber I can find so I can give people clothes that a) give them protection but b) reflect their jobs. Guards will get armor but I can give armored labcoats to the clinic vendors and an armored, sequined dress to the clothier, etc. I'm a fan of lore and watch Fudgemuppet and Epic Nate and whatnot as they explore the grand, overarching lore of Elder Scrolls and Fallout. But your ability to create lore for the nameless NPCs of a random settlement is ... amazing. I don't know how much you've studied history, but there's a debate about whether we should focus so much on the grand histories and big names or should dig into the nameless and forgotten serfs and peasants and whatnot. It definitely changes how you view history. That one house you made for the one ghoul ... I think in Starlight Drive-In? ... and the story you wove about her was so ... humane. Or how you took two farmers at Oberland who, I admit, I'd never thought about aside from making sure they were fed, watered, housed and defended (and had some cats and dogs). But you wove this whole story about this lesbian couple and gave them a wonderful place to live that reflected the story ... loved it. I'm interested in your username. My bachelor's degree was a double-major in history and philosophy. I did the latter as a humanities elective and loved it so much I turned it into a major. A totally useless major but one I don't regret in the slightest. Which is to say that if/then, because/therefore strikes a chord with me. I'm interested in why you use if/then create. I haven't watched the rest of your videos so I don't know much about you beyond what I've seen in your Fallout builds. I assume you're working on your next build. I'd love to see what you'd do with a place with a giant, existing structure like Taffington Boathouse or Croup Manor.

[@IfThenCreate]

First of all, thank you so much for this comment. It’s incredibly insightful and kind, and it means the world to me that you took the time to appreciate my storytelling. IfThenCreate is an umbrella name for all my side projects, and a nod to if-statements in code! I make games and crafts and a little bit of everything. I think of it like, if (I’m feeling inspired), then create, or in this case, if (I’m playing Fallout), then create! Whatever the “if” is, it’s always a good enough reason to make something :)

[@nathanwhite64]

@@IfThenCreate That makes sense! I took one semester of coding and after writing a minor novel to make a circle animation spin while sweating the entire time lest I make one grammatical error I decided it wasn't for me. I'd totally forgotten that "if/then" was a part of coding. And I was reading your name wrong because "if/then" is so bound in my head. I should have been reading it as, "If _______, then create!" Very cool to take a programming term and make it artsy. What's interesting to me is that you have more a "because/therefore" mentality to your settlement building. BECAUSE of this story I'm creating about this settlement or person, THEREFORE I need to build the house this way. For that reason, it's difficult NOT to appreciate your storytelling. For example, in the Nordhagen Beach settlement, you really let the vision of a farm (both for food and water) define how the entire thing was built. Or, in what I thought was a brilliant move, the way you used the scrapping station for the mechanic to give her a job which reflected her larger job which reflected the larger purpose of the settlement was inspired! I am reminded of Grandma Shirley and the way she made backstories for her Skyrim playthroughs. And that is about the highest praise I can give.

What irks me about Tenpines and Nordhagen Beach is that if you build a house with nice new beds, the original settlers still sleep on their original beds.

If you assign them to the new beds they will sleep there instead.

[@mrJMD]

@@michaelproctor8100 - From what I've been reading up on DO NOT use console commands to get rid of those beds, it can lead to all sorts of settlement happiness issues. The original settlers are hard-coded to want to use their default beds so trying to get around that can permanently bork your settlement.
