Simple Addon Pack that adds 5 1x1 residential building plans for interior use. They are bed only with some clutter that spawns underneath. Now those existing stuctures can be put to use.

I think I'll add some skins to this when I get a chance. It could be good practice.
 
simple and clean, nice.
 
Congratulations buddy! Glad to see you released your first mod. But I know you have even more in you, can't wait to see the next things you come up with!

Couldn't be happier by your achievement mate. Cheers!
 
I downloaded this the other day when I seen it on nexus. I really like the more basic addition packs that can be placed in the existing buildings and locations. Now I just need to find time to play some more been slacking on my Fo4 gameplay for some reason the division 2 has been calling me to play recently.

congrats on your first addon pack.
 
Ok, so those are awesome.

Please pardon this dumb question (dumb because I don't know the answers).

If they don't have a power pole, how do I give them power?
Is it radiant to a connector similar to a traditional interior plot?
 
I got to try out the level 1’s yesterday I really like the 4 person 1x1 plot and the fact I can place them indoors and it’s just a basic bed and few randoms this is by far one of my favorite housing plots that isn’t a multi 3x3 plot or that new 3x3 bar/house so many options for small settlements these days.

As said above, all plots need radiant power. The SS2 power poles act like the vanilla pole with a bigger radius.

I really like using these in the cabins at Sunshine. I can place 4 Single Bed plots in a cabin, add some furniture and clutter and they look lived in. I put a vanilla wood power pylon on the roof of the cabin. It has a big enough radiant power radius to power all 4 plots and any lighting I add. I have also has success using the SS2 "street lamp" power poles.

Maybe one of these days I will make some skins to build these cabins for me. The other thought I had was to add some "random clutter" markers to the workshop build menu.
 
Got to see the level 2’s tonight with real beds instead of sleeping bags. Honestly this is probably my favorite interior plot set think I used 3 of them plus the new 3x3 bar/home from another author and it makes for a cleaner settlement not having all the exterior plots for housing. At least for settlements that have existing buildings you can use them in. For other settlements you can build a basic 2x2 shack or 2 to place a few and call it a day.

Fun fact - the original plot I created was (L1) a sleep on ground marker, (L2) sleeping bag and (L3) a bed. I made it to try and figure out how to make a proper plot. I saw a request in the suggestions forum for a simple res plot with just a bed. The hardest part was trying to figure out what would be a good level progression when you only have one item on the plot.

I'm glad you like it. :whistle:

I did this with one of my railcar plots. I put down a rug and a pillow (I think) for the sleeping on ground marker for my L1. Feel free to steal this idea if you want to.
There was a question about it on the Nexus forums so I recommend adding an explanation to the plot description if you do decide to use it.
 
Btw, you really missed an opportunity to call it bare necessities. Are Disney's lawyers really that scary?



Actually yes they are..
 
Do you have plans to release any skins for you plots?
Alternatively would you be ok with others making skins for them?

I am really enjoying what you did with your plots. I will admit to feeling a little guilty when I use the dual bunk bed one.

I don't mind. The only plans I have is to make some skins to add decorations. I have been putting too much time in my "black hole BuildingPlan." ;)
 
So when I refresh a plot it moved the icons back up to their original locations. Now they're up in the roof and can't see them. Using them in sanctuary of course to help with space.
