Scrap Everything
When I first got Fallout 4, I was less than impressed at its workshop system, mostly because I know that it can be so much more; in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, modders have created a much more powerful and user-friendly system that, essentially, does what Fallout 4’s workshop mode does, only better.
All of those mods, though, are way over my head – not only do I not know the scripting language, Fallout 4’s version of the Creation Kit isn’t even out yet! So those other game-changing mods will just have to be made later, by magical people who make things that are amazing. And magical.
For now, though, I humbly present my very first mod – a band-aid of sorts for Bethesda’s mind-boggling oversight of only allowing us to be able to scrap certain things.
Despite the title, you can’t actually scrap everything (yet, anyway – I hope to one day reach that lofty goal). You can, however, scrap a whole bunch of stuff that you couldn’t before! I pretty much concentrated on Sanctuary as of now in terms of stuff unique to a particular settlement (I haven’t tried visiting other settlements and seeing if it works there, but I would assume so). I hope to one day have everything be scrapable in every single settlement.
This mod has been made completely with FO4Edit, and shouldn’t (I hope) cause anyone’s game and/or computer to explode horribly. But if it does, it’s not my fault! So… yeah. I did test it, though, and it works fine so far.
This mod allows scrapping of the following:
V 1.0 –
• Sanctuary house walls, foundations, carports (where the cars are parked) and roofs
• Grasses, shrubs, trees, hedges, vines, brambles, leaf piles, and other plants
• Sanctuary Roads and sidewalks
• Halloween decorations (pumpkins, skulls, cats, skeletons, and more)
• Ceiling, floor, and wall lamps and lights
• Candles (and melted candle puddles)
• Playground Equipment (monkey bars and jungle gym)
• Floor grates
• Office papers
• Trash and debris
• Dogmeat’s Doghouse (can’t be scrapped when he is in it, so make him move before you scrap it)
• Kitchen counter (there was a type that wasn’t scrapable)
• HVAC units (found in the laundry rooms of the Sanctuary houses)
• Towel hooks (in the bathroom)
• Bathroom grab bars
• Makeup? Drawer (in the bathroom)
• Fire extinguisher holder
• Showers and shower curtains
• Soap trays and toilet paper holders
• Wallpaper scraps (the flowers sometimes found on the walls in certain houses)
• Ceiling fans
• Foot Paths (in the backyard of some houses in Sanctuary)
• (static) oil lanterns
• Planters
• Garden hoses
• Thermostat
• Plywood door
This is a great mod for anyone who would like to get rid of all the extra things like those annoying dead bushes in Sanctuary which you find around most of the map taking up lots of room. I gave this mod a good testing on Sanctuary removing everything possible except the bridge. Some items I had to remove with the console command “MarkForDelete” as they were not covered by this mod for some reason. Not a big deal for me, but a little heads up to the modder who made this. Some things like the light fixtures after deleting a house are not removableable, and the lanterns some of them as well & other bits of homes & there are even a few roofs to homes that remain unremoveable by this mod. Over all though its a great mod. Thanks!
