Fallout 4 - Vault 88 Settlement Build Tour
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- This is a settlement build tour at Vault 88 from my most recent lightly modded Fallout 4 playthrough, using only vanilla and DLC objects (with a little help from Place Everywhere) with additional assets being spawned using console commands.
For this build I went with the theme of the vault only being partially constructed before the bombs fell, and as such occupies the main cavern and stretches slightly into the North Sector. The main entrance, security office and reactor have largely been left untouched, except to clean them up and add lighting.
From the Atrium the ground floor features a bar and dinner, with stores, a barber, laundrette and a clinic from the first floor, and a classroom, sports hall and gym accessible from the second. The vault also includes a research lab and player apartments, along with the Overseers Office, Armoury and Guard Quarters.
Accessible from the ground and first floors of the Atrium are a large Residential block featuring communal bathrooms, along with utility corridors providing access to 3 Hydroponics labs and then North and Northeast sectors. The Water Pump in the East sector has also been built up and has its own separate power station and control room, along with a small canteen and bathrooms for its workers.
This build took far longer than I expected and apart from a few performance issues in certain sections really pleased with how this turned out.

This doesn’t work for ps4 does it?
@@Mahiiiing Due to requiring the script extender it’s unfortunately PC only 😔
@FiddleflapsVids if I put this on my xbox(computer browser thing) do you think it would work (not on the xbox itself but on the xbox app on computers)
@@thatonesaxophoneguy Sorry, not really sure what you mean… I am guessing maybe the PC Game Pass version of Fallout 4? Not even sure if that version can be modded outside of the in game mod options.
@@FiddleflapsVids I'm a little late but how did you get the bathroom stall walls?
It looks like the most lore-friendly, realistic vault I’ve seen a player build. Everything fits so naturally. Amazing
Thank you for the very kind words, and great to hear you liked it! 🙏😁
Except for the fact theyre selling weapons and armor to residents, fkr what exactly?
Except for the fact theyre selling weapons and armor to residents, fkr what exactly?
@@7even885Maybe Only security can buy from Them To get better weapons then their service guns
@@7even885if you've ever played the game those vendors are for YOU the player to buy weapons and armor not the civilians lol
Wow its literally a perfectly preserved pre-war vault. Phenomenal
Glad you liked it, many thanks! 👍😁
@@FiddleflapsVids can you make a video on how to make railing on the walls
@@user-DarkXY Sorry, not exactly sure what you are asking but I do have a playlist showing how I built each section of the vault - czcams.com/play/PLhB__s4THkoX9xAziA4HA14s6g1i4JRzo.html
Hands down the best vault 88 build I’ve ever seen. Literally everything looks like it’s been tailored by game designers to be exactly where it is. Absolutely astonishing work
Thank you for the very kind words, and great to hear you liked it! 🙏 😀
This is beyond impressive. I cannot comprehend the amount of effort it must have taken with F4's finnicky building system.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 😁🙏
It's truly fantastic. Everything seems so realistic, down to the smallest details. It will have taken you a long time to create a vault like this.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
@@FiddleflapsVids Well yes because I have never created anything like this when I played Fallout 4 in the past.
This is quite literally the best designed player made vault, or any vault for that matter, ever! Love your work. But seriously the intricacies of your vault, the ergonomic design. It’s brilliant!!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 😁👍
Just started the quest on Vault 88 and was looking for inspirational builds to this settled and this does not disappoint! Heck a good job honestly! Awesome!
Great to hear you liked it, and that it can hopefully provide some ideas for your own build there 😁👍
Really put OCDecorator to work making the place look so alive and natural, amazing work man
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! I don’t use OCDecorator as it would add a mod requirement to those wanting to use my blueprints, with the junk decoration being normal items that I have placed and then made static using Place Everywhere or spawn via console commands 👍.
Wow. Just wow. First of all I love the atrium with the plants and the hanging lights and how it all just looks so welcoming. Imagine stumbling in there after months and months traveling the wastelands and suddenly everything is bright and clean and peaceful. There’s the bar and the diner and also some well-stocked shops and there’s friendly settlers with neat rooms and restrooms and all that.
Further into the vault it became a bit creepy I have to admit. The long empty corridors and the dark caves and you can walk for what seems like a mile without seeing anyone. Everything is well lit, mind you, but there are shadows there, too … I don’t know if you intended this but damn it worked for me. I can imagine a whole Fallout game taking place inside that vault of yours.
How on earth did you not get lost in there while building all that? How did you make all those rooms and corridors fit together? Must have taken a hell of a lot of planning.
Bravo!
Never really had a problem getting lost here, although I stared working on this in July so I guess I have had plenty of time to get my bearings 😅. It did take quite a while to get the layout worked out, and went through a couple of different ones (my usual method of building and then tearing stuff down again) until I was happy with this one.
I was always aiming to make a vault that was only partially completed, with the settlers trying to make do and maintain what was built as best as they can. I do like the contrast between darkness of the cavern sections and the main vault, although agree it’s a little spooky with no one wandering about. Sadly the settlers wont path much beyond the main cavern without installing mods, and would have loved to have some at the Water Pump and North cave entrance security office.
Although it took far longer than I expected I am still really pleased with how it turned out, and great to hear you also liked it! Many thanks! 🙏😁
I am speechless. This is without a doubt the most beautiful and best decorated vault I have encountered. I completely recreated and furnished it. My compliments. Took up my days. Again, I don't know how you managed it, hats off to you.
Really pleased to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
this build is my favorite i have watched several builds on Vault 88 and i can tell you this is the best one yet the decoration is outstanding i enjoyed following your movements through the halls and discovering all the places thank you very much my friend for your sharing
Feels great to get this build done and finally be able to share the tour, so really happy to hear you enjoyed it! Many thanks!
This is hands down the best vault I’ve seen. Your builds are fantastic but this would have been on another level of planning. Great work
Many thanks for the very kind words, and awesome to hear you enjoyed it! 👍😁
This is nearly perfect! The only thing missing is a jukebox in some of the open rooms for ambiance, and extra people roaming about. Bravo 👏🏼❤
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 👍😁
That was incredible, i watched the whole video, it felt like a real vault. Bethesda never put that much effort into their vaults, even the ones where the dwellers still lived, their vaults felt cramped and empty. Yours was like taking a tour through a vault that just recently sounded the all clear, and vacated 90% of the occupants, leaving the skeleton crew behind. I thought the only thing missing were the people, if you had some mods that added additional people to your settlement limits and put some named npc's in there and modded it so they have random conversation with each other i'd swear this was a real vault location. Brilliant work, it must have taken weeks if not months to build this, putting every object perfectly positioned, the lighting in the right spots, all those little curios and objects everywhere to make it feel alive, the tunnels still under construction with tools and resources to make it seem real, every room carefully detailed. Mean while i'm just too lazy, i'll barely build a small bunker just to fulfill the quest requirements. I want to use the majority of the underground area to build a combat course with enemy mob spawners to create a live action team v team v team v team battlefield sim. But kudos for not only dedicating the time and energy to make a brilliant working vault, but also upload it as inspiration for others.
Thank you for the very kind words and great to hear your enjoyed the tour! This was slowly built up over a period of three months and although at times felt I would never finish it (especially trying to get everything decorated) extremely pleased with how it turned out. Thanks again! 🙏😁.
Is there a mod to make your settlers talk to each other on the Xbox one?
Thanks for the in-depth tour. I was literally having issues in figuring out how my vault will look like, but this build-tour was really something!
Glad you enjoyed and hopefully found it useful, thanks! Building at the vault can be a little deceptive as at first you think you have such a large area to work with, but its surprisingly easy to run of room quickly. I started and then scrapped at least three different layouts before finally up with one shown in the tour. Hope your build there goes well! 👍😁.
First thoughts wow! This is if definitely one of the best vault 88 builds I have ever seen in game. The amount of effort put into this I can only imagine, truly a gifted player this deserves a sub
Thank you for the kind words and sub, much appreciated! 👍😁
Amazing work , this is by far the best vault i've ever seen.
Great to hear you enjoyed it, many thanks! 👍😁
I really appreciate the commitment to authenticity here. This build is perfect, you even got the lighting right!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! I think lighting was one of the biggest challenges building here, was really tempted to use a lighting mod but feel I managed to do a decent job with what the DLC provides.
@@FiddleflapsVids I hear you, man. There’s something about the way that vault 88 works where proper lighting suddenly becomes a monumental task. Especially in the first big room. You found some pretty creative ways of overcoming it though, congrats!
This has gotta be one of the most detailed builds, can’t imagine the time you put in. Thank you for sharing and keep it up! You’re amazing
Must admit it took much longer than I was expecting but really pleased with how it turned out. Great to hear you also enjoyed it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Clearly the best vault i've seen on youtube, hats off !
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 👍😁
Best 88 build on YT. Not even blowing smoke. Awesome dude.
Awesome to hear you liked it, many thanks! 👍😁
I was waiting for this! Amazing as always! Thank you for sharing. :)
Great to hear you enjoyed it, many thanks! 🙏😁
This is an amazing vault build, great stuff well done
I am glad you liked it, many thanks! 😁
Yes man! I've been waiting for the vault 88 build, it looks dope.
Glad you liked it, many thanks! 😁
Just stumbled across this - absolutely unbelievable build mate. You should be proud!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
yey there it is, looking so good! I'm probably going to watch it again, so many details- your fps seem fine it's crazy!
Thanks! The build runs well in most spots although there’s a few places where I do get some nasty drops (down to around 45FPS at worst 😟). This is mostly when in the residential block looking towards the Atrium, so during the tour I angled the camera slightly away from the worst spots to try and help the video stay smooth.
Not as smooth as I would have liked but found even lowering my game settings did not help, so just left everything cranked and recorded anyway 🤣
This build is breathtaking ! The lore is so good !
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁😁
This is REALLY impressive. Great job!
Many thanks! 🙏😁
Great work, looks amazing!
Thank you! Cheers! 😁
Awesome build! It's given me so many ideas.
Great to hear you liked it and that the build can be of some use for you own, thanks! 🙏😁
Wow, these builds are amazing!
Glad you like them, many thanks! 🙏😁
It's astounding how much time and meticulous effort went into this build. Not only does it look amazing, but everything works perfectly, aside from the water pump that just needs a power line connection.
Truly an amazing build.
Really great to hear you like the build, many thanks! Not sure what you mean about the water pump needing a power line connection. The area is a bit dark but you can see the power line running to the water pump at 18:10, or have you imported the blueprint and this connection was missing?
Out standing work truly out standing work this is the reason why I love making your builds in my game❤😊
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, many thanks! 👍😁
congratulations on this build! fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers! 🍻 😀
I like what you did with the water pump area, it makes it much more appealing.
Thanks! I wanted to make more of a feature out of what is an important part of the vault rather than just an empty cavern, and really pleased with how it turned out 😁👍.
probably the best looking build I've seen for V88 so far
Thanks, great to hear you liked it 👍😁
The way all the furniture and decoration tells exactly what kind of room it is. And it is never too plain but neither too crowded. It ooks really really good. Could be made by Bethesda. Fantastic job.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
You clearly have more patience than I do, particularly with janky snapping. Well done!
Thanks! I actually found working with the vault pieces quite fun and a nice change from working on normal settlements. Although I do use the Place Everywhere mod which really helps ease the pain of most (but sadly not all) of the janky snapping issues 🤣.
@@FiddleflapsVids i should bite the bullet and get it. I already use OC Decorator and love it haha
I just picked up fallout 4 on pc a couple days ago, I did play it when it released but never got that far in before I sold my ps4. I just stumbled on vault 88 for the first time and was blown away by the size and potential of the place for building, and now seeing your build has just blown me away. This is INSANE my guy, hats off to you! 🙏
Thank you! Great to hear you liked it and hopefully might be able to provide some ideas if you decide to try building your own vault. 👍😁
Amazing job! I always have trouble building vault 88. This is impressive and inspiring!
Glad you liked it and hope it might be able to provide you some ideas for you own vault build 👍
The lighting is always a pain in the arse but you made it look good. Fantastic work!
Thanks! The lighting was one of the main reasons I had previously avoiding building at the vault, but feel I have managed to do a decent enough job and happy with how it turned out 😁.
Dude, I'm struggling to figure out how all the pieces fit together to even build one good room, and then I stumbled on this video and found myself in complete AWE. This looked AMAZING, and I'd be happy just figuring out how you put together your atrium! Okay, I gotta boot up the game and start cracking again. This showed a whole different level of what's possible!
Thanks! I did a building series showing how I put this vault together. One thing to bear in mind is I do use the Place Everywhere mod, so although most of the build uses vanilla snapping there are points where I clip pieces into walls or the terrain which you wont be able to do without it:
czcams.com/play/PLhB__s4THkoX9xAziA4HA14s6g1i4JRzo.html&si=ueFnNCOxpORkmLkQ
Simply on another level. Best 88 I've seen by far.
Thank for you the very kind words, glad you enjoyed it! 😁👍
This looks really good
Thank you! 👍😊
Dude, love it. it looks so good
Thanks! 🙏😁
I would not have been able to plan all of that. Must have taken ages!
Must admit I severely underestimated how long this would take, with the vault slowly being built up over a 3-month period (although this also includes making the building series for it as well). Still, really pleased with how it turned, even if I was starting to have doubts about it halfway through 😅
Absolutely amazing, great work i just starting to build my vault thanks for the inspiration🤘
Great to hear you liked it, and that hopefully the build will be able to provide some ideas for your own, thanks! 👍😁
This has gotta be the best vault 88 I have ever seen.
Awesome to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Oh my goodness... that has to be the best player made Vault I've ever seen. That is absolutely incredible!! All the details, it feels so professionally done, I think its your best build by far because its so different to your other builds!
Thank you for the very kind words! Although getting the place lit was a bit of a challenge I had a lot of fun working with the vault pieces, and made a nice change of pace from my usual builds. Glad you enjoyed it! 👍😁
Despite the fact your name makes me chuckle every time...your builds are friggin killer.
Great to hear you enjoy the builds, and that my silly name serves its intended purpose and provides you a chuckle 😉😂
Probably the best vault build out there.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Amazing build. Inspiring!
Thanks! 👍😁
wow, building another vault inside of that cave is a great idea. I tried to connect the already existing parts with my mainhall and it looks also very interesting.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
IT'S INCREDIBLE !
One might believe that the shelter was made by Bethesda.
The level of detail is crazy.
You did a great job!!!!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Best build I've seen I reckon Bethesda should employ you. That's a work of ART.!!!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks!
I was looking for some inspiration and then i saw your video
This is actually incredible dedication to the creation of Vault 88
Vault Tec should have hired you for interior design lol
Thanks! Great to hear you liked it and hopefully can provide some ideas for your own vault 👍
It's amazing, I'm trying to replicate this but it's insane. And the precision of your decos, omg, a thousands kudos.
Thanks! Getting this place all furnished and decorated was a real killer, and felt like I spent more time on it than I did actually building the vault! Still really pleased with how it all turned out in the end, and great to hear you also liked it! 🙏😁
This is a beautiful build
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😀
It's just awesome! Thank you for sharing!!!
Glad you like it, many thanks! 👍😁
Im so glad people are still playing.
I know not everyone enjoys it but I find the settlement building system adds so much replayability to the game 😁.
Most epic vault 88 build I've ever seen.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁😁
Very nice vault! Congratulation!
Great to hear you liked it, thanks! 👍😁
Your welcome! Your deserved my like, because you are good builder. 🙂👍
10/10 on space utilization for the seperated areas
Thanks! 🙏😁
I’m currently working on my vault 88 following another CZcamsr but this is awesome!
Great to hear you liked it, thanks! Hopefully it might be able to provide some ideas you could use in your own vault, and did a series of vids covering how this was made if you are interested in seeing how certain sections (or the whole vault) were put together 👍😁.
That guard is definitely hunched over asleep in his chair. 0:45 Build looks great man 👍.
He's not sleeping, he's just resting his eyes 😉. Glad you like the build, many thanks! 👍😁
Man, this is hands down amazing. I could totally see myself living in that vault irl. Maybe as a repairman or a security guard, stalking the empty corridors, not-frequented as much by other dwellers. I could make my own place out of one of those cramped maintenance rooms - maybe equip it with a toaster and coffee pot, bring a chess set, some board games and books. Tinker with some old electronics and mechanisms, figuring out what works in what way. Maybe even build myself a spring-powered bb gun and set up a range in one of those caves. Find a secluded spot and cozy it up with a bedroll, lamps giving off soft yellow light, some chairs or pillows, make it a perfect place for secret meetings with a lovely homegirl or a place to hangout with a group of friends where we could chill, play around, talk about everything and nothing, listen to music and just be together for a few hours before our responsibilities take hold again.
It really feels homely, the vault. Feels like a place where one could live his life without much to worry about, feeling safe and secure, focusing on the everyday grind and a way to spend time in a pleasant way.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
I just imported this, well done brother!!!!
Many thanks! 🙏😁
Awesome job really!!
Many thanks! 😁🙏
My jaw dropped when i seen this! This vault is amazing.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
DANG. This is amazing. Im about to start on my iwn vault in a week or two
Your videos need more views and likes😢
I find it troubling to JUST PICTURE in my head the build that I want…..Not to mention my pathetic tries to build anything decent….But oh my god….I am in love with your ideas, man! Every single project is just perfect imo. The realism of your builds. That is what I like the most. It looks real, exactly how people (in post-war, nuclear for God’s sake world) would actually rebuild their settlements, make the living in those conditions and with the tools they could find in Wasteland. Many people forget that and create such weird and surrealistic buildings….It just doesn’t match that world. But the way YOU do it is ideal🫶🏻
Incredible Incredible Incredible work!!🔥🔥🔥Thank you so much, continue creating those wonderful builds!!!!
I appreciate your work, I’m sure it is very time and energy consuming for you but please, do not lose your interest. Keep it up ❤❤
Thank you for the very kind words and great to hear you are enjoying the builds! If it’s any help I generally also have no idea what something is going to look like until I start building it (apart from if its going to be a house, store, etc...), and just tend to sling pieces together until I feel it looks right 🤣.
Sometimes this works out great, but mostly involves lots of building and then tearing stuff down until I end up with something I happy with. If I find a particular section is giving me problems, I find leaving it and working on a different one can help, and often becomes easier to deal with once you have some other structures in place to work around or from.
Amazing job, man. It’s literally better than most of the Bethesda’s vaults
Great to hear you liked it, thanks!
Dude this actually looks like something created by the game Bethesda should hire you!!
Glad you liked it, thanks! 👍😁
I just barely started this DLC for the first time and i know im late to the party but your vault is perfect and peaceful. I definitely need to plan mine carefully. I'm definitely making a man cave for my male vault brothers.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! Had a lot of fun planning and building this and hope you also enjoy creating your own man cave 👍😁.
This is amazing, I wish that you could have more settlers as you wanted because the vault feels empty with the odd person walking around - I bet this is super tricky to re-create on the console version without mods
Thank you, great to hear you liked it! Sadly without mods the settlers wont path much beyond the main vault cavern. Still less settlers can be a good thing as it helps to keep the build running smoothly, and also provides less opportunities for the games wonky AI pathing to showcase the settlers trying to walk through solid walls or being utterly baffled by simple things such as stairs 😉🤣.
Is 27 not good enough?
@@jakejoacim Not really, the settlers usually stay around one particular area so the bigger the settlement, the more empty it feels and with vault 88 it just seems abandoned sometimes lol
Yay, Finally! :) Great work! Where next?
Thanks! Hopefully it was worth the wait 😅. No plans on what’s next apart from a short break from building as this took WAY longer than I was expecting (plus I want to play through Return to Monkey Island). Although it was fun building the vault it will be nice to return to normal settlement building, and will most likely run a poll when it’s time to pick a new location.
@@FiddleflapsVids My picks would be either the Nuka-World Red Rocket (it's huge) or Somerville Place (it's sloped :) ). Want to play Return to Monkey Island (loved playing the originals back in the day). But concentrating on my latest post-1.6 Cyberpunk runthrough.
So THAT'S how you really use all that stuff. I've been winging it with my vault and I'd much rather airbnb at yours.
I don't know if the exposed rock was an accident or a feature, but I like it. I'm gonna try to build around some kind of rock formation and decorate it with the heads of all the radscorpions and ghouls I had to kill (Valery Barstow included).
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! The exposed rock walls are intended, was hoping to have the look of a pre-war vault that was not finished before the bombs fell. I feel they also help to add a bit of interest to some rooms and helps to break up the uniformity of the vault pieces 😁👍.
After finally deciding I should build my own vault it just ended up looking like a raider base💀
Just because you can build a vault does not mean you have to… could imagine the vault entrance and caves also making for a great (and easily defended) raider base 😜👍
this is so cool
Thanks, great to hear you liked it! 🙏😁
Thanks bro I might do the big open space area that you did I think it will help
Great to hear the build has been able to provide you with some ideas, thanks! 👍😁
@@FiddleflapsVids np!
I’ve watched this entire build and I think it’s absolutely amazing. I too have place anywhere installed but for some reason I can only turn on/off the surface snap and workshop grid. For example I can’t precisely move the floors or scale the lightbulbs down like you do. Do you know what could cause this? Also how were you able to build the objects that aren’t in the vanilla workshop mode. In your build videos they seem to just magically appear after you hit some keys I’m guessing. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
Great to hear you enjoyed the building series, thanks! Hopefully the issue with the precise movement and scaling functions can be fixed by turning on your NumPad, I believe Windows has turned it off by default and has caught me out few times when I have reinstalled my PC 😅.
The additional objects were added using the ‘placethere’ console command followed by the objects Form ID (for example placethere 00060CB4 would spawn an ammo box), you can find these ID’s on the FO4 Wiki or looking them up in the Creation Kit. Just be aware objects spawned via this method cannot be moved around normally in build mode unless you enable Place Everywhere’s ‘Extra Object Selection’ mode
.
For the build vids I save the commands into batch files and then bind them to a key combination using a hot key mod, that way I don’t have to keep opening the console during the video and can spawn multiple objects at once.
Hope that helps! 😁
This is so cool, I can’t figure out the electricity stuff to start properly building something there
Thanks! Power works a little differently in the vault from normal settlements, Oxhorn did a video that explains it pretty well and should help to get you started - czcams.com/video/Kegj5AjucWc/video.html
Next level this bro how have you thought of some of the methods you've used? Insane man purely ahah what a build, honestly the best one I've seen yeno
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Bethesda should hire you to design locations for the upcoming Fallout games. This looks so much better than Bethesda build vaults. Great works.
Thanks for the very kind words, really happy to hear you enjoyed it!
This vault looks spectacular and well done! How long did it take you to build this whole vault to its perfection? Btw, I wanna see you build an entire separate vault from a random settlement when you post a video. That'll surely make me and other people love it so much! ❤
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! The vault was slowly built up over a three month period, although that does also include recording the videos for the building series. Getting the place all furnished and decorated seemed to take the longest time (at least 3 weeks), as each time I thought I was finished I kept finding rooms that I had forgot I built and missed 😅🤣.
Not too sure about building a vault at one of the other settlement locations. I mostly try to stick to builds that fit in with the rest of the game world, and feel a vault at any other location would probably look really out of place. Still, I did enjoy making this and if I ever find a mod that adds a similar interior location suitable for vault building might consider using it at some point 👍.
Amazing build, I always sucked at this stuff and I’m interested in recreating this. I have but one question, I understand you used the Place Everywhere mod but did you also increase the item limit too?
Again, great build!
Glad you liked it and want to have a go at building your own version! I have a full building series on the vault if you want to see how certain sections were put together. I use the Gamma Gun trick to reset the build limit when full and believe I did this twice (might have been three) to fit everything in.
I have no creativity for this stuff. I thought it was gonna be a vault that was already set up and we were gonna create a settlement and do experiments like vault tec did. I am having a hard time figuring out where to put anything. It's kind of frustrating because I'm actually interested in this. This is incredibly beautiful, btw.
Thank you! I found building a vault to be quite tricky and started and then scrapped three different layouts before coming up with this one 😔. The build area especially in the main cavern is also much smaller than it first looks and can be easy to quickly run out of space.
If you are struggling to come up with a layout I found building the Atrium and the corridors running from it first helped, and I also have a full building series on this settlement if you wanted to see how certain parts were put together 😉.
Amazing!!!
Many thanks! 😁
Superb!
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh my god, I don't even want to know how long it took you to make this lmao. Amazing.
lol, must admit it felt pretty good to get this all finished off, and great to hear you liked it! Many thanks!
Best build = new sub👍
Glad you liked it and thanks for the sub! 🙏😁
I absolutely love your build dude! The main question i have is if it is done in vanilla and if not what mods did you use?
Thanks! The only mod used for the build is Place Everywhere (I have a list of all the mods I use linked in the description), everything else is mostly just Vanilla and DLC with some normally un-buildable objects being added via console commands. If interested I have a series showing how the vault was put together:

Nice build! Looking like a true vault 😄 by the way, how do you assign your settler to sit at the security office?
Glad you liked it, thanks! The security guard is sitting at one of the security desks that comes with the Vault-Tec DLC (I believe you can find them in the Defence menu). They function the same as normal guard posts and once assigned a settler will sit there.

I've tried to recreate this, and I'm telling you right now folks it is a massive ball ache. Things were going fine until I got to the first double floor staircase, just after the ground floor residency. I tried so many times to get that bloody staircase to line up straight. I finally got it on in the end, but I'm still finding bits that I've had to change because they just won't fit. So all in all I tip my hat to this person, because I don't know how the frack they did this. I'm going to take an ibuprofen now. 😓
It’s probably worth mentioning that I do use the Place Everywhere mod to build, which does allow me to place pieces even if they clip into the terrain and do take advantage of in more than a few spots. Even using a placement mod I still found building with the vault pieces to be really finicky, as they often have to be placed in a certain order to snap together and at other times just refuse to do so even when they should 😔.
I did a series showing how the vault was put together and lit, and might help ease those headaches if you are still trying to build your own version. The build mostly uses vanilla snapping but without a placement mod there will be some sections that you would need to change:

Wow this must've taken ages. I struggled to get on with the whole settlement building mechanic
Thanks! This was slowly built up over a three-month period and really pleased with how it turned out 😁.
I also struggled to enjoy the games building and it never really ‘clicked’ for me until I started to use the Place Everywhere mod. I found it allowed me to just focus on trying to improve upon and make the stuff I wanted, rather than becoming frustrated with fighting or trying to work around the games vanilla limitations.
If you feel the same way but would still like to build stuff in the game I would highly recommend it or one of its console alternatives 👍.
how did you manage to have the floors with plants and plants at your atrium entrance? surround with railings 1:46 And second: how you get toilet in craft? I mean the toilet barrer
You can see how I made those sections from the link below, and are just standard Atrium floor pieces and a railing. I use the Place Everywhere mod to resize Garden Plots and place them inside, but the layout with the railing can still be made without it.

For your second question do you mean the toilet stalls (7:04)? If so they were spawned in using the _placethere_ console command followed by the objects FormID which I looked up in the Creation Kit.
Anything you see during the tour that normally cannot be built (such as the plants, various vault style lights and machinery) were added using this method.
What I want to try to do is to incorporate the contraptions dlc into one of the wings so its a big factory but it would be so complicated trying to get the wiring down and the timing.
Have to admit I have never really looked into the stuff the Contraptions DLC adds, but the vault would certainly make for an ideal place to setup a large automated factory of sorts 👍.
Haven’t started the video yet but I decided to actually give the vault DLC a try after learning how to use the pieces and I’m curious to see what people have done with the DLC themselves.
Hopefully the video was able to give you some ideas 👍
Im dumbfounded. This looks like it is exactly what the buildspace was specifically designed for. More so than any other V88 build i have ever seen. I have seen builds that are more flashy. Ones that are defended better. Ones with clever exploits to allow for things that shouldn't be possible. But i have NEVER seen one that feels as realistic as this one. Not even close. I would say that its even better than any vault Bethesda has made themselves. Its just so well thought out. I get overwhelmed with the large build areas. I usually just stick to the castle. But this has me thinking for sure...
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
