Rebuilt Croup Manor

Rebuilt Croup Manor

This is a Lore Friendly restoration of Croup Manor. The ghoul infestation is much worse than vanilla so be prepared for a fight. The ghouls have prevented people from destroying the house.

This is the first USABLE and USEFUL player home on the Nexus IMHO. I am not including the save games posted with the super cool settlement builds. This Is NOT a save game, and the Croup Settlement is yours to do with as you please. I personally don’t even put up a beacon for settlers since I wanted a private player home, but its Great for any settlement style you want there.

Some Details.
1. This uses only vanilla parts to restore the mansion.
2. The only thing added to the settlement vanilla is a new key *(2 copies) so you can unlock the outside doors after you take the settlement. The extra key is for a companion or settler to be able to open the locked outer doors if you want.
3. Lapdragon implemented his Container Fix in this esp so the Vanilla containers are safe storage.
4. I did NOTHING to the basement since any change there would change the Story behind the Mansion.
5. You can fast travel from inside the mansion. If you place the fast travel target inside the house in build mode you can fast travel into the mansion also.

IMPORTANT:
1. In order to have your Power Armor not reset go and get Buildable Power Armor Frames by Lapdragon. Read his description for instructions but basically it allows you to fix your Power Armor so that it wont reset to T45 if you leave it in a changed Cell. You MUST use this mod or one that does the same thing to prevent your Power Armor from reverting back to the T45 stuff. This is an Engine bug that we can only work around until Bethesda fixes it. It is triggered by changing a cells data, and in order to make the Mansion nice I had to make changes.

2. You need the following in your fallout 4 INI file to fix the sprint bug.

Now some pictures to show off. Thanks to GenericFallout for the images and for some testing of the mod to make sure I didn’t break anything.

If you forget to close a door it will be closed and locked when you return.

The only way to open the outer doors when locked is the key or by lock picking.

All the new doors are fully scrappable in workshop mode.

RECOMMENDED MODS:
1. Buildable Power Armor Frames By Lapdragon
2. Cell Reset Workaround Patch By Lapdragon
3. Scrappable Commonwealth By Lapdragon
4. Simple Intersection By Draco856

For anyone intrested my other mod Safely Scrap Covenant Turrets will allow you to scrap the non owned turrets at Covenant so you can build your own.

Many thanks to the maker of XEdit without which this and MANY other Cool Mods would not be possible.
Thanks go to gandalftw for a great set of images to show the mod off.
Thanks also go to GenericFallout for Images and for testing to make sure I got it all right. 🙂
