9) Homemaker – Expanded Settlements by NovaCoru

retro-futurism at its finest

Fallout 4 introduced settlements to the franchise, something radically different from any of the features in previous Fallout games.  However, with just the default game features, settlements can feel a little bland, especially with the limited color palette and restricted functionality of the craftable objects.  NovaCoru’s impressive solution to these problems is Homemaker – Expanded Settlements, a massive mod that adds over 1000 new craftable items for your settlement, vastly improving the visual blandness of the vanilla objects by including shiny new objects, including an Institute construction palette, so your settlement can look like a science fiction movie from the 50s.

In addition to the visual stimulation the mod provides, it also overhauls the vanilla crafting categories to make everything easier to find, as well as adds new farmable crops, including silt beans and tarberries, so your settlement won’t starve.

Homemaker – Expanded Settlements can be found here.
