The Castle - PART ONE - a cozy and realistic fallout 4 settlement build! (no mods)

[@pepperoni_brewboy]

Amazing build 😄🙌 I just discovered your channel about a 3 weeks ago when I stumbled upon your Starlight Drive-In build. Not only do you do a great job with your builds, but you keep it simple. You inspired me to take a break from Fallout 76 and go back to Fallout 4 and finish the settlements I never finished. Also, the way you present/show your process is very relaxing, almost in an ASMR kind of way. And I know you do not like to use mods, but I feel that you should give "Scrap that Settlement" a try. I think is lore friendly, since it lets you scrap leaves, trash, bushes, debri, etc., but not everything like the other one called "Scrap Everything." I feel settlers would try to keep the settlement clean, so I do not know why is not a part of the vanilla game. Anyways, keep up the amazing job 🙌 Just subscribed!

"Maybe a little rug here to warm their little feet :3" is not the kind of fallout 4 content I thought I needed, but this is definitely gonna be my most watched settlement building channel from now on. Exceptional vibes 💙

[@maaddmaam6768]

oh my goodness the little shack houses to fill in the wall gap is the smartest and most adorable thing ever. plus that view of the water they get, that is prime real estate!!

Just at the beginning of the video here while typing this. An alternative to using pylons in the courtyard for connecting power lines from your generators to the radio tower is using lamp posts instead. On the ground you can see faint walking paths worn in and putting tall light sources beside them would give the Castle a vibe that it was a tourist spot during modern pre-war days.

[@Velethh]

nice tip!

[@dreaminginjapan]

That’s such a cute idea!! I love it!

[@MissCandiDandi]

Omg yessssssss im so happy to see this video drop 😭😭 Currently nearly 1am and ive been struggling to fall asleep, now i get to have your cozy comforting build chit-chat soothing my sleep struggle 😍 Appreciate the absolute heck out of you and your content, and how gentle and warm it feels to listen to you build 🩷🩷🩷

[@IfThenCreate]

This made my heart smile, thank you. I hope you get some sleep 💕

[@MissCandiDandi]

@@IfThenCreate I was out like a light within half an hour and slept like a baby, so thank you and bless your heart (and your content) 🩷🩷🩷

42:24 that desktop picture frame said bye😂😂😂

[@christinag1521]

Literally I have not been this excited for someone to post new videos like I am when you post!

[@IfThenCreate]

That is so sweet, thank you!

[@Sabre912]

i love these videos.. they are like asmr for me when playing fallout! lol

[@wrenblythee8678]

I love how considerate you are with all your builds, I love watching these as I build my own settlements ♥️

[@a-plans]

So glad to see someone else play fallout 4 the way it was intended, as a base builder 😂 cant wait for the other base builds in this series!

[@iamsparechange]

highly underrated channel

[@reneer7069]

Thank you for making these videos, they’re so fun and I look forward to them every week!

[@Crows_Den]

Loving the cozy "sitting with your friend while they chat about a game they love" vibe! Castle is one of my favorites to work on, especially "legitimately" (ie: without the TGM console command/ paying for resources) because of how sort of ruined it is! Making something that feels appropriately militia but also comfy and communal the way I feel like it should be is always a challenge, but a very fun one to tackle.

[@ewigengeist]

I’m so excited! Love the way you filled the gap in the wall! Your videos are very entertaining and cozy. I’m excited for Saturdays :)

[@lauramarjoram2692]

When moving crops your best of storing them then placing in new position, it registers them still in their old position and you can actually pick them up too. Store the crop to the workshop then plant in new place 🤟

[@PastelButtons]

Love watching your cozy settlement videos, seeing you put power on in the settlements while my actual power is out from a storm 😌🕯️(also love how much I'm learning from you!!)

[@IfThenCreate]

Thank you ✨ Hope you stay safe and get power back soon!

[@enigma1865]

That is a very creative way to fill in the gap!

[@jpdeus7326]

Always loved the fight to gain the castle! cant wait to watch the full build!!

[@sabmiles07]

We don’t have refrigerators but we do have ice machines. That’s what I typically use as a fridge/freezer replacement.

[@dreaminginjapan]

I didn’t realize we had those!!

[@devloon]

I love playing fallout 4 with your videos in the backround❤

[@HaxNoSkillz]

I love your settlement build videos!! I'm honestly considering watching all your settlement videos and using them as "tutorials" for my settlements in FO4 because I have no creativity whatsoever and I really like the style of how you design your settlements!!

[@wilson.adam.82]

"If this is painful feel free to skip ahead!" No, I signed up for the full ITC experience...

[@meeomelovescookiesandhisto459]

I just discovered your channel and have been loving your videos! Building the settlements has been my favorite part of Fallout 4, though I always go extra-hard on security and shelter because I'm a weenie and imagine if I were a settler, I'd be constantly freezing and afraid of an attack, lol. It's so fun to see someone else build, and I'm getting a ton of ideas and joy from watching.

[@serenamablahblah4156]

Hey, love your stuff!! I know you don't like mods, but for sanity, if nothing else, look into the place anywhere mod. It is a life changer.

[@dahliako]

The Castle has hidden quicksand! Who knew 😂 This is always a tricky location for me to figure out so I love seeing how you’re organizing and fleshing it out❤

[@LitcheTheArsm]

The pictureframe slipping through the floor at 42:23 had me🤣

[@Dvmpster-Girl]

I love my castle build! I did this super fortified military base but in the little stretch of land behind the castle i built a residential section that gave the castle its food and trading! I had mods ofc... 😅

[@grahamda1379]

I really like the idea of using houses to fill the wall gaps.

[@officialhawke]

i've been absolutely loving your videos lately! your voice is so calming. i know you've mentioned not using mods, but i think you should consider trying em out, maybe in their own little series? i love using them in my builds

[@IfThenCreate]

Oo, that’s a good idea

[@ArandomNCR]

You could also put far harbor stuff like the fish basket and etc since the castle is surrounded by water on some sides.

[@kittylo15]

I'm so glad you're posting more builds, you inspired me to play fallout 4 again :)

[@namaandra]

All of the wiring is complete.. You just have to build generator on the little overhang above the workbench. Then connect wire to the pylon directly to the right, then run another wire from the generator to the radio shack.. The whole place is now up and running

[@75blain]

Hello from Montreal Canada. Im new to your community and loving your builds. You inspired me to redo a lets play as the minutemen general. Thank you for the great content

[@IfThenCreate]

I’m glad you’re enjoying them! Thank you!!

[@RyuuNoSenshi]

I've been waiting to see your take on the Castle! only just finished the quest to claim it in my playthrough and planning on making it my main settlement, so this is great inspiration!

[@BeadyEYE5]

Binge watching all your videos , really helpful 😊

[@geminiroe84]

I love watching your builds! Have you done Zimonja Outpost yet? That place needs your cozy perspective. I just got opened it and I'm clueless!?!?!

[@IfThenCreate]

Not yet, but I LOVE building there! I usually do a lot of shacks on stilts 😅

[@Lewis0502]

I’m loving the settlement builds!!

[@charl483]

absolutely obsesssssed you dont even these videos make me want to build my settlements

[@WhisperFire26]

Are you familiar with the "Place Anywhere" Mod? The only thing that this mod changes is that it replaces those red boarders with green so that you could place objects well, anywhere. It would've saved you some time on the mess hall while trying to align the counters and it is great when you need to build in tight spaces.

[@JPatrickT12]

This is a pleasant surprise on a Saturday morning! Gotta tell you though, whenever you plunk stuff down without squaring it off (e.g. rugs) it drives me nuts. I’m going to have to insist that you rearrange the shelves, plants, and lamp behind you in your home so that none of it is squared.

[@leewright415]

Your builds have given me inspiration to start building up my settlements. I just started playing after a 9yr hiatus. Do you have the DLC? As I have noticed you have different building items that I have?

[@IfThenCreate]

Yup, I’ve got the DLCs!

[@LAIDOCKS]

been on the fallout 4 grind, love seeing a female gamer 🥺 so refreshing. if you ever want a girl gang on 76 i’m in!

[@Ghoneybe]

Yay! Another post from IfThenCreate! Ooo that's lovely

[@stuartoakley4784]

In my game on PS4 there is an annoying bush in that room where you have the bed. I can't scrap it either. So had to move the bed forward of it. Looks awful but not much I can do it's too big to cover with a rug. Enjoy your builds and wish I had the resources you do.

[@Samiellien]

Absolutely love this! Do you make extensive plans for what you’re going to do beforehand, or just pretty much do it on the fly? Either way, your builds are always fantastic. Throughout all of my playthroughs I’ve never been happy with the look of my settlements, so I admit I’m now essentially using your videos as a guide and just tweaking them with things I did like about my previous attempts. It’ll be a cold day in Hell before I give up my little “fishing village” in Sanctuary! 😂

[@IfThenCreate]

Sometimes I build on the fly, but recently I’ve been doing a little walkthrough/survey of the site beforehand and taking notes so I don’t forget things I want to include 😂

[@deadw1nd]

Would love to see what you do with Sommerville place

[@MrVilleWonka]

You are such a lovely lady :) I enjoy the way you talk about things. Always make me smile)

[@DanielJTeichroew]

Not me just learning there are different sounds for the generators that you can change by turning them off and on 🤣

[@MrSmketr]

First off I love the vids secondly there is a way to extend a wire as far as you need it, i used it in my plays because i hated all the wires everywhere. It is a glitch and i forget how to do it but i am sure you can find out here on YT.

[@sabmiles07]

She has said that she’s not using mods or glitches in her builds. :)

[@matthewschlafkehostsrebelw8234]

Nice work!

[@devyngonzalez2821]

i put the generators in the back of the castle by the already built water purifier

[@mckenzie_szabo]

WOOOOO

[@Gus_95]

Can I be that one guy for a moment? Thank you. Do you mind changing your playlist to go from older to newer video? It just takes a two or three clicks to do so and make things easier for those like me who likes to binge watch stuff 👉🏻👈🏻

[@IfThenCreate]

I didn’t realize I could change the playlist order! 😅 Just tried to, did that work?

[@Gus_95]

@@IfThenCreate yup ^^ Ty btw

[@IfThenCreate]

Awesome, thanks for calling that out!!

[@ibuprofriends]

omg thank you 😂 i like rewatching videos and having them in order in a playlist is so much easier.

[@warmredwater]

I can't watch this just yet, but I am fuckin stoked.

[@diidac17]

Not gonna lie, I use your videos as same to get asleep 😅. But nice video!

[@thuggie1]

ye that bug annoys me about the castle that things can fall through the floor and the one thing i dis like about vanilla is you cannot pick the trash up i do feel people would at lest pick up trash. but still its looking good

[@leewright415]

The kitchen needs a ceiling fan. To get rid of the mongrel meat smells... :)

[@jacobdurkin7572]

59:40 excuse you very much

[@thewarcrow7947]

Castle is one settlement I don't like the mods for, they all look out of place for me with concrete its really easy to fix even in vanilla.

[@jtw.111]

I don’t like the ones that fully repair the walls as if they were never destroyed. It makes more sense to repair them with a different kind of concrete/stone than the original

[@Acirno]

Honestly, I couldn't do that w/o mods.

[@dantednsss]

Hola!!! I like your videos. Fallout 76 please please besos

[@erikacomfort3343]

You care so much about the settlers 😭😭😭
