Ever feel your settlements were a bit "lacking?"  Want something to help spice up your shack? Homemaker is here to help!

Homemaker is a mod that expands upon the vanilla crafting system for settlements, and adds over 100 craftable objects to the game.  Currently, this is limited to vanilla objects, but I hope to be able to add in more custom assets once the GECK is released, as well as some other new features.

Here are a few examples of what the mod adds:

-Two New farmable crops: Silt Beans and Tarberries.  These are assignable, count to your food stockpile and grow like all the other crops! 

-Many new containers: Ammo Boxes, Boss Crates, Meat Bags, Lockers, Refrigerators and more!

-New Beds, Chairs and other household objects! The beds also all count to your settlements bed total.

-A set of Institute objects, including beds, dressers, cabinets, tables and desks, that unlock at the appropriate point on the main quest line.


Homemaker is still very much a work in progress and I plan on adding quite a few more bits of furniture and statics to it in the coming days.  In the meantime,  if anyone finds any bugs or errors, or simply has any recommendations for items to add in, please feel free to post them in the comments.  

Install Instructions:

-Download the file and extract Homemaker.esp to your Fallout4\Data folder
-Enable using NMM or another file manager

Compatibility:

Homemaker should currently be compatible with everything, as it does not edit any vanilla records.  If there does happen to be any issues with any other mod, please notify me and I'll try to look into it.

Known Issues:

-There may be some lag when opening the crafting menu after loading a save due to the larger number of items available. This is normal and should only last a few seconds.

-Small items, such as ammo boxes and medkits, cannot be placed on top of other items that are not considered solid surfaces. This includes any and all crafted objects that I've found.  I've tried dozens of things to get these to work, but so far have had no luck. If anyone can figure out whats up, please let me know.

-Similarly, all added wall-mounted objects, such as mirrors or paintings, refuse to allow themselves to be placed on the wall and will instead rest halfway through the floor.  As above, if anyone figures out how to make it work, please let me know.

-New item categories and subcategories also do not currently seem to be possible currently.

-Some item icons seem small or large, appear to have bits missing, or are miscolored.  This is due to some issues with the model files themselves, as some models were not meant to display from a certain angle.  However, I will be tweaking the icon scaling in the coming versions.
