Fallout 4 Let's Build #4 - Sanctuary Houses 

I wish bethesda wouldn't have put some sort of repair option in sanctuary. I'm sick of seeing Sturges hammer the same place over and over.

"Must fight temptation to completely rebuild Sanctuary" Thanks for the inspiration Davy. Keep it up.

To anyone who doesn't know how to do the mat glitch, what you do is place the mat near the items you want to move then hold E, A (Xbox I think), or X (PS4 I think). This selects the mat and every item near the mat giving you access to move every item near it. (Sorry if I messed up console controls, I play on PC.) The only reason I posted this is because most people don't know how to do the Mat Glitch.

Love the vids bro. I love that you're not using mods. I watch sooo many videos for stuff I don't have access to. It's nice to see building without the mods.

Stopped playing this game so many years ago and recently returned. The rug glitch has changed my life and I’ve just built my first home heavily based on this with no mods or DLCs so thank you 👏🏾

Lately I've been looking at different fallout 4 settlement guides to try and find different techniques to use in my settlements. This video actually helped me a whole lot with trying to re-roof sanctuary houses and also showed me a new way to do the rug glitch! Thanks man, good work!

These are great. I've been picking up some great techniques for building Sanctuary and even applying these to other settlements. You're clear and concise and really creative. Subscribed.

You are one of the most impressive Fallout 4 builders on RU-vid that I've seen. When I watch your videos I say to myself here is a guy that gets it! Most people I see building in fallout 4 tend to build these very grandiose structures; but they're really quite boring, lifeless, and without character. They're always either floating structures, unbelievable, or very uniform symmetrical builds that utilize the same materials all throughout. Instant sub, keep up the good work.

Man, your videos are informative, easy going and very fun to watch! Thanks for all the effort you put into these vids to make our lives easier! Much love from Namibia!

These videos are brilliant and rather helpful, Sir David! Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see more of the Let's Build series!

By far your settlements are the best I ever seen in this game, and god, THANK YOU for this tutorials! Even with the tcl command I couldn't achieve the realistic look your buildings. Subbed =D

Thanks for this video I never thought of actually doing this to fix the roofs and interiors of the existing houses in sanctuary. After watching this I did it in my own game and with the addition of a mod which gives me access to actual windows, it really makes a really neat looking Sanctuary.

Thank you so much! Totally awesome job! I love the scrappy style. It fits the theme of the game so perfectly.

The ceilings, if you do those at 3x6 you can fildde them into place so that they stick out the tiniest bit at the end of the garage/carport area. This gives you a great way to expand that area, to sort of hang other building parts onto and so on. I've heavily abused your trick in Sanctuary! Love it! Cheers for it!

Hey norespawns this would have to be one of the better looking houses I've seen on youtube. Everything is so tidy and in order, nothing over the top. I like it keep it up!

Your FO building videos are really a great inspiration! You actually got me to spend countless hours on making Sanctuary look decent, like a real settlement where people can live safe and in some sort of comfort and luxury :-) I used your tips from the Sanctuary houses video and from the video on how to make realistic looking buildings (using various types of walls and railings...). I'm so proud of my Sanctuary now. Even had to move all my bobbleheads and other collections from my previous main base to Sanctuary now. Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to more content.

This is seriously creative ! More creative than most, I never thought about doing this, I can’t even remove the old houses so I thought I was stuck with them. This makes it awesome!! Like a megaton style build

Your works make me want to restart my progress and play a new playthrough and attempt to create a beautiful sanctuary hills, you've earned a subscriber comrade

I definitely think this is one of the best builds I have ever seen in Fallout 4.

Dude, the end plate background music sounds great. Keep up the good work!

Your a real one for still posting fallout 4 videos man thanks for the content.

Grand!!! Congrats on 10k subs so quick, you deserve it

Your videos are great, some of the best I have seen on youtube. Keep building and keep recording.

I love your let's build videos, it's because of these that I subbed! My Sanctuary Hills is looking so much better with your help! I'm slowly placing bits of junk to add character and realism to my builds! :) keep up the awesomeness!

Your passion is inspiring. Mad skillz, man.

Awesome work fella. Definately worth a subscribe, and a like, and now I have to move back to Sanctuary. Been looking for a home for my char, that is perfect. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for the uploads. This has put a new dimension to playing fallout 4 for me. Enjoying it more. Ive forgotten about the wastelands for now as I build a new world hahaha

Only been playing for 29 hours. thanks for the great tips and tricks on rebuilding the town.

Thank you so much, i lack in creativity and copied your whole build except the roof. Great tips and tricks throughout, brilliant.

Really Enjoying this Series, Keep up the Good Work.

Thanks much for your videos. Lots of great info. Most appreciated!! Your suggestion to use fence posts as support was an excellent one. Something I discovered this morning that I hadn't seen anywhere (yet) is that you can hook lights to them as well! Another thing I discovered is that you can attach lights to the existing streetlights in Sanctuary. Unfortunately I'd scrapped all but one already. Anyhoo... Thanks again for the videos. They're great!

I remember watching your videos back when they were uploaded, and used them as tutorials for most of what I did. Now, almost 8 years later, I've recently started playing a lot of Fallout 4 again, and I've found myself using your videos again as tutorials, lmao

Great tutorial! This is going to be of great help when i make my sanctuary rebuilt!

I absolutely fucking LOVE your tutorials! I feel our methods are simular and you just helped me figure out how to fix my door frame problem. some houses just wouldn't work. damn, you're a genius! so stoked !

Good old Davey has been my guide to settlement construction since day one. No annoying voices, no stupid jokes. Just a straightforward info dump. You gotta appreciate that.

Another fantastic build, sir! Love these videos, I'm on a second play-through so I may actually do more with my settlements this time :)

gives me hope that my settlements can be amazing even without mods

Yet another awesome vid!

I was able to replicate this perfectly, good tutorial.

Very informative, nice delivery , your stuff still gets viewed !

awesome mate, love these build vids, no way I'd ever figure all this shit out myself.

shit... I thought I was creative

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm on console so it's hard to find good tutorials.

Brilliant. This has helped me turn my scout hut commune into an actually aesthetically pleasing town. Well, as aesthetically pleasing as one can get after a nuclear apocalypse.

Really like your videos, amazing buildings! You can put the Shack foundation on your on you floors, before you use the rug glitch to places your new made roof. I find that a lot easier, than placing foundations after, especially on the "workshophouse". Ofc. the chimney will then often go through the floor, but that can be hidden with rug glitch to place some kind of furniture on it.

Little tip, if you want to do the roof thing to multiple houses, leave all the floor panels except the ones connected to the wall when you move it, that way you can save a lot of time by not having to place them each time.

This is amazing dude

Definitely going to use that idea for my shops. Shops upstairs and their home downstairs! Thanks again.

Im glad i find this amazing video after seven years of relase

Amazing work, nice job! ✌😁

For all those that have PC if you have a controller you can use try it out on building settlements. The building can be done more fluidly like in David's videos. I finally tried it out today, and I just switched back and forth. I copied his build out on the same house in sanctuary, and it worked splendidly.

Nice, Jamaica Plains on the way! I just finished my settlement there and I'm excited to see what you come up with instead.

I’m here in 2024 still getting ideas from your builds lol thanks bro, watching recent ones now, junk walls here we go 😎

Again, wasn't expecting any posts tonight, hope this becomes a regular thing 🌚

The rug really ties the build together

Great videos you're making. I've been doing similar houses, but instead of using the rug glitch to put in the ceiling, I've been building the entire structure and moving it in place snapped to a concrete foundation. I did the same method placing a super structure on the highway on finch farm, for treehouses and building on abernathy farm. I recommend it over the rug glitch. Anyway, great work. I've hit the subscribe button.

well Dave, it seems that people have been asking for a castle video. maybe rebuild it with the first wall in the wood wall section and use floors on the top. I think it would look pretty cool. Great video. it sounds like your voice is louder than the last fallout video, which is good. There's no issues i could find with this video. Keep up the awesome work!

thx so much for making this video understandable & easy to follow for a dunce like me :D

Coming back to this game in 2024 is giving me so much joy, Ive honestly found myself working on the sanctuary more than anything else lol 😅

Love your videos!

What I've been doing is adding the extra level of tall shack floors on top of the "roof" floors before I mat glitch the whole assembly into place. It's allowed me to do all of the houses including the workshop house without a problem and with a quicksave before I place it I can ensure it looks as straight as possible.

Whoa, this is amazing. I definately have a learned a lot. Thanks for showing us!

I didn't like these 'on top of house' house's at first. I hated them. I thought that they didn't look nice at all but they really are growing on me. I really like them. You've opened up a whole new level of building to me. Keep up the good work

Games been out 7 years and I’m just learning this now… what the fuck… this is brilliant

17:55 this looks really pro, good job

I’m gonna try to recreate this settlement I don’t know how to build settlements yet. You’re so good.

this is awesome, thanks

You are the youtuber I dreamt of for Fallout 4 building😍

I know its been eons since you posted this. But thanks for the cool ideas~ ♥

I thought I knew how to build. This is dope.

I know this an 8 year old video. But to place doors, do this. 1. Go to workshop mode. 2. Go to the barn section, then walls, then pick the one with a door opening. You notice the door will be on ground level. Then place in on an open spot, so you won't pick up anything else when holding x. 3. Place a door. 4. Delete the barn wall. 5. Place a mat in front of the door. 6. Get a pillar from the stone section & place it in front of the mat. 7. Pick up everything while holding x. 8. place it in a door opening. If you can still see the mat, you know the door is on ground level. Look at the hinches on the door and just move the door so they just become invisible. Press x placing the door. 9. Done. Perfect door placement without the little bump or anything sticking out.

sir you have saved my entire space :) for my settlement in fallout 4 on the ps4

Great vid bro!

I know this was 4 years ago but I'm a big fan of your builds

I actually styled my houses like this already, I saw your how to close up the roofs video, when I went on top to make sure I got the whole roof, I found out I could put a foundation down, then I was building like a champion.

It's tricky, but a similar technique works in Hangman's Alley. By being able to push the walls out just a bit, it really opens the place up as a settlement.

Solid work

this video is amazing , keep it up

It's great! Continue the great work :)

@norespawns @12:00 when you build your walls use the flat wood roofing with the flat sheet metal and complete the roofing all around your staircase flooring.you'll then still be able to conected floors to the staircase and over top the roofing. Otherwise it'll still rain inside your building because only the roofing is coded to block rain and flooring is not.

I'm so glad you're not on the PC because it's so annoying that when I watch a build walkthrough they always have mods which I can't use because I'm on the Xbone.

Thanks for the helpful video. I think the biggest takeaway was that the mat has to go down after the wall. That may be why I was getting inconsistent results. I hold-click the mat and then both the items end up teleporting a few feet in a random direction and placing it is spotty. Hopefully mat second will help.

Had no idea you can do these kinds of things in the game, LOL. Very impressive, good work, m8. :)

I always build the shack foundations already on top of the floor when I build it outside. Works too

Really nice job.

18:32 *I'M ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE THE SUN COME UP ONE MORE TIME.*

Great video I couldnt figure out how to cover the ugly on the house now I know

Earned a sub. Great job!

awesome! after I finished fallout and got the platinum trophy I never touched the game again I just left it with shitty settlements, now I've been watching these videos I've been constantly on the game building in literally every settlement and they all look better now.

very impressive to have done this without mods!

O boy!!!! The Possibilities are endless because of the rug glitch!!!😁

great vid!

These tips are great! Picking up so many helpful ideas. I just wish I knew why I can only build about two small houses and be lucky to have room to decorate :/ I ran through destroyed everything, fences, trees, house items, ect. But still have no room left to decorate anything.

You know what your talking about, i like it!!!!

Nice video keep up the good work.

You should try building a base of operations for just your character and your companions. Red Rocket or Mechanist lair (possibly). Love your videos. It's great to see someone who actually works with the game correctly and makes creative settlements without mods.

Hey @norespawns, great video, but for some reason I can't seem to get this to work on PC. I'm using no mods or whatsoever. when I want to snap it into the house as in 1:54 I just can't. Its stays red and doesn't go green. Do you maybe have any idea how? or you think this just doen'st work on pc.

THANK YOU for doing these! I have used these tips and techniques on a new game. I have only played the story up to Diamond City. Now I am just trying to create my own version of Sanctuary like you created. I find the settlement building more enjoyable than the missions. I just cant get the dang rug trick to work with the junk walls and it is REALLY pissing me off!

That's brilliant, wow

Would be cool to see a tutorial of how you made your "personal" sanctuary home. I liked the way it looked, and I can't seem to get mine the same.
