BUILD WITH CONFIDENCE!
I'm sure someone, somewhere thought that multiple bay windows in a row wasn't real. Well, here's the real thing!~
:)
~*~
February 25, 2024:
WEED-B-GONE!
Why is it that the red & black weeds (my 2 favorite colors) are the ones that REFUSE TO DIE???!!!
Oh well, no matter.
Weed-B-Gone must be DEAD LAST in your load order!
**NO EXCEPTIONS!**
Even having a clothing mod last could still give you weeds!
:(
~*~
Feb 22, 2024:
"NEXT LEVEL" Windows!!
Shutters! Sunken Window panes! Fancy Curtains!
.......and it's STILL lower than the typical Beth wall given to us to use.
And to those who claim my walls are inferior, well, you must be smoking the good stuff, cause mine are DEFINITELY lower poly count than ANYONE'S walls, guaranteed!
:)
Feb 18, 2024:
"NEXT LEVEL" Walls!
The problem with painting on the kick boards. base boards, etc. is that on different parts, they may not line up.
So these parts will become separate from the walls & you just snap into place what you want.
Also, the introduction of end caps. Many types to choose from!
:D
~*~
Jan 29, 2024:
VORTEX ATTACKS!
Vortex decided that since I didn't want to update my mod, it would DELETE my esp file & revert my nifs to old versions!
But, there is a silver lining. By doing so, I was able to knock out my simulated "sunken" living room!
This effect is made with new walls & floors called "elevated". A normal single thickness floor tile is laid down on the concrete slab. You then attach "elevated" walls & floors to it. then snap the stairs in place.
Elevated Walls are the same height as No Gap walls on elevated floors! Thus, a nice, smooth ceiling.
:)
~*~
Jan 27, 2024:
BYE BYE WIRES!
Stringing wires all over the inside or outside of your home may be a thing of the past.
This will also have the side effect of saving time.
It will NOT be cheating, since the commands used are from the "Contraptions DLC".
.......In fact, the DLC may be required to get the wiring to work properly.

SETTLER SANDBOX FIX!
HAT TIP: Valyn81
QUOTE:
"In order to get settlers to use higher floors you need to make a Fallout4Custom.ini, in your C:\users\YOURNAME\ Documents\My Games\Fallout4\ folder and add this to it
[General]
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat autoexec
Then make an autoexec.txt file and put it in your fallout 4 directory with this in it
SetGS fSandboxCylinderTop 576
SetGS fSandboxCylinderBottom -576
Those two commands set the up and down area where your settlers will go.
For some reason Bethesda set this really low
That way, instead of using up an ESP slot, the file will run automatically every time you start your game
I have some of my settlement in Greygarden and Finch Farm, built up onto the Highway above the settlements, and my settlers go all the way up to the top"
AWESOME! Now settlers will use any floor in your building, no matter how high!
:)

GO BIG OR GO HOME! Or BOTH!

November 30:2023:
Version 10 has dropped!
Added more variants & more glass.
Fixed some things, and probably broke some things as well.
All doors should now make a noise.
........If it sounds like you stepped on a cat, that wasn't me, you really stepped on a cat.
:)
PONY WALLS!
Interior walls to look through!
CURTAINS!
July 29, 2023:

ANYBODY WANNA BUY SOME ENCYCLOPEDIAS?
I remember as a boy the Encyclopedia Britanica came to the house one day & mom bought a set.
They were beautiful.....!!
Lots of cool pictures in them, too. (That may have been how I became a bookworm.......LOL)
:)
As you can see, they aren't just a box on a shelf, and I'm applying the gold as we speak.....
And before you panic, they are surpriszingly low poly!
:)
June 1st, 2023:
Experimenting with decorative cielings & working on the "Elite" series of parts.
Also I will be fixing collision problems & adding even more variety to exising parts.
French Doors are fixed. Both doors now swing open towards you.
And finally......A sneak peak of the "Regal" series of staircases!!
(See pic gallery!)
:)
April 26th, 2023:
Prepare yourself for.........
THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
Like the tudor series, I've made parts that are more lavish. I may do several of these.
:)
**EDIT:

~*~
April 25th, 2023:

(Pics in the gallery!)
:)
v5 is HERE!
Grrr.......Changing bitmaps shouldn't cause me to hafta re-nav mesh my floors!!
.....But it did, and you should now have your followers & NPC's INSIDE your buildings.
Also, 2 new floors!
Also, real transparency on the curtains!
......Some windows still need fixed. I'll get to it in due time.
Dec 4, 2022:
I have learned how to do transparencies properly.
This will be used on my curtains immediately.
These corrections will be in the next drop.

October 25th, 2022:
The last thing that still looked like a shack is now gone.
The ceilings are now a beautiful mosaic pattern. I'll also be offering stucco.
(See pic gallery)
Oct 8th, 2022:
Finally got wall fireplaces to animate without locking up the game on wait or save!
YAY ME!! LOL!
Now, I just need to figure out how to get the light to bounce on the floor like a real fireplace, *WITHOUT* using someone else's idea.
.......No pressure, right? LOL!
SUCCESS! I now have glowing, flickering fireplaces!!!
So how did I do it? I made me a custom file & slapped it on the floor in front of the fireplace! Yes, literally.
ROFL.......But hey, it's really cool at night! Now, I gotta fix the wall allowing me to walk right through it??!!
.......That really hurts when yer 3 stories up, BTW. (lol)
~*~
Shacks you build in the game are........well.......kinda bland.
SO! I thought I'd give ya some colorful walls & floors!
:)
They are already in the workshop!
UPDATE:
Windows are coming! (See pics). Plain windows, fancy windows, stained glass windows!
......And maybe doors with windows as well.
:)
VERY COOL!
~*~
Curtains! FINALLY! Man, what a fight! I thought I'd NEVER get these curtains to work in the game, but I was victorious! (heh).
I can't tell you how many mods I tried only to find that the curtains didn't work in shacks!
:(
(Apparently, shack walls are the shortest in the game for some reason???)
:/
George Barris eat yer heart out!
:)
Doors......Make a door, splice it into an existing door nif, right? WRONG! Nothing I did would work. There is something about the nif that allows me to walk through the door, but I couldn't get it to work, so I just used the concrete door instead & reskinned it.
BRILLIANT!
:)
Fireplaces! Static for now. I made a free standing fireplace, but you can't push it flush with the wall. Again, there are mods of this fireplace, but it's TOO TALL for shacks. When I shortened the smokestack, all kinds of mayhem ensued. So, it's attached to a wall in the shack section.
Thusfar, any attempt to animate it locks the game up tight. But, it still looks good!
I will release the fireplaces, doors curtains & windows soonish.......Bear with me.
:)
Don't forget to upload your pics!

I don't have PayPal or Patreon, but I do have CashApp. Feel free to buy me a cup of coffee if you appreciate my work!
