• Homemaker. Primary build components for most of the settlement, decorations, furniture, and miscellaneous objects.
• Settlement Objects Expansion Pack. Fusion generators, railings, pools, foundation liners, cooking station, and water pumps.

 

Note. Transfer Settlements will not add items if the mods are missing. Mods listed below are not required but will remove associated elements.

Soft Requirements

• Craftable Working Sinks and Showers Redux. Working sinks and showers.
• Advanced Bubble Turret Set (Realistic No Power version). Bubble turrets in the basement and roof outcroppings.
• Erotic Art. Frames and pictures used throughout.
• Working Fridges. Simple mod that adds working fridges, ice machines, and vending machines.

• Singing Settler. Used for flooring in the gym and barber shop.

Nice to Have

• Armour and Weapon Keywords Community Resource. Additional types of workshops, namely power armour.
• Videos of the Wasteland. Working televisions and projectors.
• Invisible Furniture. Adds invisible markers that are used as idles for settlers and pets.
• Gruffydd's Signs and Posters. Billboards and signs.
• TRX Trixter Statues Collection. Skyrim styled statues for aesthetics.
• Crazy Sex Animations. Invisible mats that make settlers happy through masturbation, done without using the Advanced Animation Framework, and additionally places assignable gurneys that increase happiness.
• Sex Toys of the Commonwealth. Adds the random placement of sex toys throughout.
• Bad Dragon Dildos. Adds more extreme dildos throughout.

Unrelated But Useful

• Place Everywhere. Allows you to make minor adjustments if necessary.
• Armour Rack Female Mannequin Fix. Fixes the armour rack to support alternate bodies like Fusion Girl.

Setup

Clearing the area is relatively straightforward:
 

• Remove the existing cottage and clutter found throughout the build area.
• Remove the damaged roof for the garage and the clutter within. Do not remove the garage itself.
• Remove all clutter within the sinkhole itself. This significantly expands the usable space.

A few elements cannot be scrapped normally, in this case you will need to do the following:

• Go into the console.
• Select the object (E.g., ivy or wood plank).
• Disable
• MarkForDelete

 

Note. Disable first in case you selected the wrong object. In that case Enable will recover the object without consequence.

Build a Transfer Settlements console from Power > Miscellaneous facing the workshop.
 

Note. Import should be done with Workshop Mode enabled.

Tasks After Import

No additional requirements other than to confirm that all power has been restored as expected.

Notes on Power and Performance

These blueprints utilize ambient fill lighting to provide a pervasive glow. I use Naked Bulbs to create a lived-in atmosphere for statues, fountains, and roof voids.

Warning for Dynamic Lighting Users

If you use mods that turn all lights into dynamic, shadow-casting sources, the sheer number of these bulbs will severely cripple your framerate. I strongly recommend using the Transfer Settlements Blueprint Editor to strip out all instances of 306F1 before importing.

Optimization for Complex Builds:
Because of the heavy use of conduits to reduce visible power lines, these settlements have high object counts. To steps below may improve performance.

• Enable Faux Power in the Workshop Framework's workbench settings.
• Use the Transfer Settlements Blueprint Editor to strip all conduits from the .json file.

This can reduce build complexity by up to 40% without losing the overall aesthetic of the settlement.
 

Note. I cannot guarantee the above will work.

Notes on Imports

Transfer Settlements recommends leaving the area after import and to not return for 1-2 game days. However, I found that saving on site always crashes the game.

The easiest way to get away and save is to coc Vault111Ext from the console. Wait a couple of minutes before heading into the vault. Once you arrive at the bottom it is safe to save.

I recommend that you import/export Blueprints using Stable defaults. Using other methods has caused ladders, walls, and flooring to appear without collision. In many cases the collision effects are found elsewhere leading to interesting behaviours among the NPC population, and leading to a snap back effect as you push through an area and are forced back by the invisible wall.
 

Note. This blueprint was tested with Transfer Settlements working under Stable.

Lastly Import wired power connections should always be selected as part of the import process. It will reliably re-connect all wired connections. This saves you the trouble of linking up floors, turrets, and in some cases re-establish connections for hidden or buried runs.

A Special Thanks To

Thank you to PiCSeL for the magazine and painting retextures seen in the screenshots.
