Snaps to itself at the top, bottom and sides
Over 40 variations including Concrete, Brick, Panel (or Tile), Institute and Stone [1] Separate “Foundations” category within the build menu
Usable by NPC’s (also includes working collision)
Height allows for easy construction of multiple floors
Scrapping returns part of materials
Does not modify existing game files [2] [1] I’ve gone through about 30% of vanilla materials, so there might be more to come.

Manual Installation

Extract contents of archive to /Data
Enable BuildingBlocks.esm
Enable ONE .esp (which one is entirely depended on your needs).
Mod Compatibility
Custom floors are fully compatible, the only requirement being they use vanilla connect points (P-Floor / P-Floor-Dif).

Mods which also modify the build menu are slightly incompatible (patches available) as they might override each other, meaning certain categories might not appear. This will not cause any buildings you’ve placed to disappear, and a simple workaround is to change the load order of this and the other mod(s).

Permissions & Mod Creation
Feel free to use this mod and files contained within for educational purposes, however:

Please do NOT copy or share any assets without my consent!

A lot of time went into teaching myself about both NifSkope and 3ds Max. This was entirely new ground for me up until a few weeks ago and these are actually the first ever models/meshes I’ve created (most of my modding experience came from scripting).

I’ve documented most of the process at [COMING SOON], use it to learn more about modding yourself and get started creating your own assets (instead of copying!).
