PSA: The download for Dead Wasteland has been removed from Nexusmods, it is an integral part of my blueprints.
It is available on Bethesda.net from now on though. Slighly inconvenient but you can grab it there.
Spoiler:  
Show
You'll need a Bethesda.net account and add it to your library.
Start Fallout 4 and go into the main menu/mods to download it. You'll have to login to Bethesda.net in Fallout 4.
I do deactivate it immediatly after the download and the go into my Fallout 4 Data folder to grab the files.
I copy them to my mod-archive, and delete the ones in Data afterwards. Make a ZIP from the files and use that in your usual method of managing mods.
(Be aware the ingame modmenu can mess with your loadorder, be carefull and make backups.)

Thematic and Practical.esp Thematic and Practical-16207-alpha1.3

g2m_Workshop_Nexus.esp G2M - Workshop-17088-4-92
!!!I use the Won't-Modify-Workbench version (=no increased buildbudget), but AFAIK it should not make a difference.
*With the latest version 4.80+ i do not need the patch below but i left it in here.
Patch:The spiral stairs suffer from rainbow textures for some users. More info in the Suggested HotFix Patches.
Spoiler:

5. SCRAPPING
As long as there are no scrapprofiles that can be included with a blueprint, i would say scrap most of what is scrapable.

Scrap everything that is scrapable in the base game AND remove the crops.


There are things that can not be scrapped, without a scrapmod, but need to be removed before using this blueprint.

The most popular choices are Scrap Everything and Spring Cleaning. I used Spring Cleaning and the Spring Cleaning Compatibility Patch.
There are some differences in what can be scrapped between Scrap Everything and Spring Cleaning.

If you do not want to use scrapmods, you could alternativly use the 'extra object selection' of Place Eveywhere or use the console to select these and the command 'disable' followed by 'markfordelete'.

To avoid misunderstandings i provided screenshots of everything that needs to be removed:
(Also note that more screenshot can be found in the image gallery)

Remove all the 'stone walls':


Eliminate all the 'scrub types':
Make sure you scrap all the "low-by-the-ground" scrubs, they can be a pain to remove after the blueprint has been imported!




Scrap the dilapidated building and everything surrounding it.


Delete the 'bunker hill traders campfire' (Lucas Miller will get a nice shop with new idle markers for him, his guards and the pack brahmin)


DO NOT SCRAP:
The original shack. (more detailed screenshots can be found in the image gallery)

Ensure you keep the outer shell (No Stair, no door, no matrasses or junk)


Elm Tree on the South-West settlement border


(If you did scrap this, NothlandDiggers has big trees build a replacement and place it in the planter shown below)

6. IMPORT SETTINGS
Read the Import Guide I wrote for Transfer Settlements and keep it at hand.

RECOMMENDED General Settings:
- Shut down generators during the power-up phase.
- Turn off NPC AI during import.


OPTIONAL General Settings:
- Import items from the ground up.
- Blueprint style blueprint info. (Not needed for the BASIC download)
- Multithhreaded script execution.


REQUIRED Import Settings
Select all options without Nuking.
Note that the "marker-based"-option will force buildmode when the import starts.


7. POWER GRID
The powering-up phase should NEVER be done in the optional pipboy-mode due to game engine script execution limitations.
All of the wiring and pipe conduits should work out-of-the-box. For this settlement there are NO extra steps needed. "It just works".

PLEASE NOTE:
The recruitment beacon besides the maintenance shack is NOT WIRED.
I did this to avoid involuntary attracting of new settlers straight after importing the blueprint.

8. WORKSHOP WORKBENCH POSITION
Workshop Workbench Marker by Akarnan uses a clean method to move the workbench. Slight downside is that Transfer Settlements does not pick up on the new position, regardless of export options you choose. But that is also the big plus for that mod. It leaves the workshop workbench 'untouched'.

Enter the maintenance shack (this is the original 'home' of the tenpines settlers.

Go into your buildmenu>crafting and look for the workbench marker:

After placement you can finetune the position as long as the 'marker' has the red color. I do use Place Everywhere by TheLich, it makes precise placement very easy.

When you exit buildmode the Workshop Workbench will settle in its new location and have the normal texture.

Please note that the screenshots above look slightly different compared to the final blueprint.

Original and Final position.

Congratulations on your perseverance. Good luck and have fun.
