Fix Sanctuary Houses (Add Roofs, Walls & Doors): Fallout 4 Tips & Tricks Ep. 1

In this video I show you how to repair the houses in Sanctuary by using the "rug glitch" to add ceilings, plug holes in the walls and add doors. Following these steps will make the Sanctuary houses much more appealing to live in.

**IF THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU**
If the walls and roofs are red and don't' ever turn green no matter what you try, it may be because you're using a mod that allows you to scrap everything in your settlements. Mods like this prevent the group select feature from working properly. So you must temporarily disable the mod while you're using this technique. If you are not using any mods, then it's possible you're doing the technique wrong. This technique still works on all platforms as of the date of this post.

8+ years later, and this is helping a whole new group of folks playing Fallout since the show aired!! <3 Thank you for all you've done!

I really wish that when fallout 4 was originally made, with sanctuary they would have added:

1) ability to delete all standing buildings in sanctuary
2) delete everything deletable at once
3) an undo function

And here i been using paintings for plugging up the holes in the wall lol

Finally Nate/Nora can live in their old house without fear of turning into a peoplesicle for Christmas.

I follow a couple other channels about building and repairing in Fallout 4 but sometimes they over complicate things. Your video was easy to follow, short and to the point. Thank you!

I like these repairs. I wish the game had building repair functions available considering one of the Minutemen quest lines is rebuilding Sanctuary.

To anyone confused why the floor doesn't snap to the 2nd floor, you need to select "shack upper floor" instead of "shack floor".

7 years later I am still building Sanctuary in F4. Playing second time, now lot of building going on, lots of resources and different gameplay. 🙂👍🏻

This is not the first video I've seen using this glitch; but it has some of, if not, the best demonstrations I have seen. They are methodical with ample explanations without being tedious. Also, it seems like a small thing, but it is nice for people on different platforms that you don't just name the buttons you mention what they are primarily used for.

One last thing, I don't know if it is useful information or not. However on my first playthrough, before learning about all the various tricks and building glitches, I learned something while trying out different ideas to patch and/or build on top of the houses in Sanctuary Hills. If one climbs up on a roof or closely looks through some of the holes from inside there is a a metal frame in the roof for each house, and one right above the ceiling tiles separated by a space slightly higher than the thickness of the shack ground floor. Through experimentation I found each set of frames has its own collision mesh, so with a steady hand and *a lot* of patience, one can place thin objects and building pieces between them.

That was also how my first character (made the first week after release, so everyone was still trying things out) fixed the roofs in Sanctuary and made all their interiors count as sheltered areas for beds, etc... I made rectangular sections out of the corrugated tin roofs in the wood set (they are the same as the ones used in the wooden pre-fabs) and then used the multi-select feature to more or less thread the section in that space so it would sit on the frame above the pre-existing ceiling panels.

As stated I don't know how useful this is, as the method you showed is so much quicker and blocks the sunlight and the falling rain effect. better since, as demonstrated in the video, the floors can be stacked using the rug glitch. Still, I thought someone might find it interesting.

Why there is no "fix houses" quest for some high amount of material, people (without work) and time as part of the vanilla game ?.... shame.
Thank you for this. This is actually what i wanted to do but didnt know how :)

[wowsituations]

ive watched this information on 5 other channels but for some reason your video strikes me as the easiest to follow. thanks a lot

[tonkinesenchill]

I’ve always found it interesting that you can scrap glass but not fit any kind of windows

[StillJustBob]

I always wondered if anyone was able to fix up one of these houses, and here you are to show me it is possible.

one way to keep Preston out of my household.

I'm really late I just started playing this and this really help me a lot thank you

[DaddyDave]

Great tutorial! As someone else commented, I was using paintings to cover holes. Never heard of the rug glitch, but I'll be using it tonight. Thanks for the great video! :)

[kittydollkori]

YOU ARE SO HELPFUL THANK YOU. I know these are older videos but I have been totally hopeless with building lately and you've given me so much inspiration!!

[Tbone]

WOW !!! THANK YOU FOR THE "RUG TIP". Now Imma go straighten ALL MY CROOKED HOUSES. HAHAHA
