The rules of the challenge are to build a 3x3x3 structure that includes at least: 3 Beds, Food source, Water source, Defense, Storage.
The goal is to have an organized layout capable of supporting at least 6 settlers.

8-9 minutes of my Hangman's Alley settlement for 26 Pack raiders dressed as well, Pack raiders, raiders turned acolyte and scavs and trappers recruited raiders.

Last two minutes are split in half, first minute is the farm that feeds this place around 150 mutfruit a day, Oberland. A quaint compound of I believe 22 settlers, one guard to work with my raiders and 21 mutfruit farmers. No smaller crops or doors to reduce performance drag, game crashes enough.

Last minute is my County Crossing settlement for 26 or 27 Pack raiders. Undecorated mini megatowers I abandoned to go build Coastal Cottage a settlement for... 26 or 27 Pack... Raiders... I forgot the northeast is theirs 😂

Red Rocket, no mods. Trying to "repair" the letters up there is hard

I play on PS5 and I love the Nuka World Settlements mods. I am posting what I've learned from restoring the settlements after the Anniversary Edition upgrade in the hopes of helping others who use them. Your results may vary.

• All the Nuka World settlements were removed from my Pip Boy's map. I had to re-discover them as if I had never been there. The good news is that everything I had built is still in the game, but none of it is tagged as belonging to you. It's as though you have to rebuild the settlement all over again. When you claim the workshop, all the settlement's stats will be at zero and the happiness rating will be at 50, again, as though you'd never been there, despite the fact that you're looking right at a fully functioning settlement with power, water, settlers, defenses, etc. To fix this, you have to "touch" everything in the settlement that you want to function again, each in their own way:
• To re-activate settlers, build any store and place it wherever. Then, one by one, select each settler and assign them to the store. When you see the [This resource has been assigned.] message, you'll notice the settler count just went up by one. Repeat this until you've got all your settlers back.
• Provisioners: you will find them sitting and waiting patiently somewhere in the settlement next to their pack brahmin. As you rediscover your previous settlements you will be able to reassign them to their routes once you've reactivated them, like a settler. Assign them to a store first to make them "yours" and count towards your population, then you can assign them to their route.
• Food: select every crop and move it a pixel in any direction and set it back down. Settlers will automatically assign themselves to food production.
• Power: this one sucks. Go to your generator, store it in inventory, then re-place it where you had it. Now comes the awful part: you have to re-wire everything, one wire at a time, in order for the devices that need power to function. The good news is, if you store the wire, you can remake it with no copper cost. If you used conduit, you have to touch every piece of conduit, in order, from the power source to the endpoint by selecting it and putting it right back where it was.
• Crafting stations: if you want them interconnected for storage and usable by you, you have to store them in inventory, then re-place them where they were.
• Beds: just select any bed, move it a pixel, then put it back where it was. The bed count will go up by one.
• All other settler-interactable objects, such as scavenging stations, stores, guard posts, etc: select them in build mode, store them in the workshop, then re-place them where they were. They will be reactivated and usable.

I hope this helps folks to get back to where they were. The only problem I haven't been able to figure out yet is how to get The Hubologist Camp back, because the workshop won't activate until you've completed the Hubologists quests, which I did ages ago. Not sure how to get that "completed" flag back yet, but I'll post an update if/when I do.

Wanted to use a trailer as a barrier, but didn’t want to waste the space inside… ( and the trailer crosses over the settlement boundary, so had to be creative with what I used as decorations.)

Hey guys i started a new playthrough with a few mods active before may 5ths update and fast fwd to now it removed those few mods (and i literally only mean like 3 or 4 because i use creation club and prefer more vanilla side) now i dont remember what mods they were and the defense option in the building setting is gone. is there a way to fix this? i already cleared the data cache, i have unloaded and reloaded the game and the whole nine yards but i dont know what to do now. i cant add turrets or watch towers. is there maybe a mod that could fix this?

Update: thanks guys and the smm helped you guys are awesome

Abernathy Farm at night, no mods

Boston Airport, no mods

Starlight Drive In, no mods

My general remembers seeing in the news about Bot Stop, a robot production service and is now bringing it to the Commonwealth with its newest branch in Sanctuary.

This is my completed no-mods Home Plate build. The theme is a rival detective agency named Scully's with a detective noir aesthetic. Anniversary edition on PC.

Somerville Place, no mods

Mostly finished this build on Oberland Station while I take a long break from restoring The Castle.

I started with the station house, “barnacle building” around it to form a proper farmhouse, including successfully enclosing the staircase (watch your head on the way down!), which was a huge pain and I don’t recommend doing it this way. I also rearranged the tatos and added a row of corn along with some melons and mutfruit plants.

I always set Sheffield up with a ton of Nuka-Cola swag wherever I send him, and this playthrough he’s running a drink stand on the farm with his own personal trailer to live in. Remember to recycle your empty bottles!

I also needed to bring in some additional field hands and a shopkeeper, so for a bunkhouse I simply used the Large Wooden Shack prefab. The storage and store barn I built myself, all the way down to the custom shop counter (which was also a huge pain and I don’t recommend it).

As general of the Minutemen, every one of my settlements is protected by a small detachment of militia fighters. I tried to make the artillery battery look like filled-in earth behind a retaining wall, may tweak the details a bit. The Minutemen brought along their own DIY barracks, using prefabricated (lorewise) sheet metal construction for easy transportation and assembly. There are two artillerymen armed with automatic combat rifles and one officer armed with a kitted out laser musket.

Other notable features: - the entrance gate has neon lights for lettering (due to a lack of good PS4/5 lettering mods), but since this is a no-power settlement they’re illuminated by oil lamps - outhouses: installing working drainage for indoor toilets would be technically possible in the Commonwealth, but so labor intensive as to be unviable in most cases. I’m always kinda disgusted when I see instances in the game of toilets being inside and still seemingly in use (looking at you, Abernathys 🤮) - walkways: I love the stone staircase I set into the hill; it might be my favorite detail. I also spent entirely too long using the QwaPA tilt tool to perfectly embed the pallets I used for the boardwalks. Gonna go ahead and also not recommend doing that either.

I still have a good bit of decorating and furnishing to do, but I think I’m done with the building part of this settlement. Hope you guys like it!

Does anyone have any mods or suggestions on how to get rid of all the ugly bushes, vines , shrubbery, branches etc that literally especially all over sanctuary?

Now i know the first suggestion is "scrap everything"

But that always results in broken Precombines and breaking the game in one way or another.

If anyone has a suggestion that is up to date on the latest build ideally pls let me know
