We need more building peices

Well there has been a lot of good suggestions here. But how do we get Bethesda's attention?

Caught the the steps made with concrete in Hangman's Alley (double the size of the step ladder we can create in build mode). Would like to see a ramp as well. Hate to build a carpet or so just because there isn't a ladder, or ramp as well, to help with the misguidance of the the NPCs path of greatness (err, bed).

As noted, there are some very nice mods (for PC of course), including interior doors, Institute, Covenant and BoS-style building pieces... there's even a mod that has an animated drawbridge and multi-story elevators and my favorite: ramps. There's also a "multistory" wall that is a little taller than the default wall so that it essentially covers the gap where an Upper Floor piece might be. The problem I have is that many of these mods do not play well with each other. I am pretty sure Project Commonwealth is preventing me from seeing the Institute walls that Homemaker (or Ssix, perhaps) let me build in the past. Juggling mods, especially when they affect the same systems (building menus) is tricky.

Are any of these mods compatable with the Xbox One?

I don't think they have announced anything about mods for consoles. I would hope (for your sake, not mine obviously) that they DO incorporate extra building objects in some of the early mods for consoles.

Double beeds and even beds with sheets would be nice.

you don't need to put connectors on the insides, if you have on on a building's outside, that'll electrify the whole inside as well, within a certain radius.


if you just put a connector on your building's roof anyway and place a light etc on an inside wall, that'll perfectly work.



edit: apart from that, amen to everything the op has said :-)

for double beds, you can just put 2 beds really close together, works quite well.


if collision won't let you put them close enough for your tastes, use tcl (settlement building would drive me nuts without tcl in no time anyway, honestly)

It would be nice to have a half wall and a door frame piece to go with the half floor piece. Also, everything Beerbeard mentioned.

I want a pole dancing pole...and I want Mama Murphy to pole dance.



While I agree that the junk fence problems are irritating, at least without auto-joining you can juggle to have slight bends in the fence line. Trying to build a wire or picket fence slightly off line is an absolute nightmare, and looks horrid if you have significant bumps or dips in the ground surface...at times you even have fence posts hanging in mid air.

Console users....



It's extremely cumbersome and requires more resources, but you can create window openings by doing an overlapping double wall exterior, using the concrete foundation blocks as adjustable height set for wood or metal flat panels. Start building at a corner with two blocks. Set one at near ground level for the floor. Then align the number two block so that it is a half panel higher and slightly forward of the keystone block. Slap a panel on it, and then build sideways covering the inner wall so that your height is1.5 panels tall. Essentially you are cladding the inner wall with another band of panels. Do as many floors this way as you like. Then go inside the building and store a panel wherever you want a window.



The "cladding" methods does take a little practice, but looks quite nice when done. You do have to finesse your corner points though, they will not align properly as you circumnavigate the building. Looks really good on high rise type buildings...

How about having interior walls that snap easily along the edges of the floor underneath? I have been having trouble placing proper inner walls.
