Beginnings. Again.

This weekend, I rebuilt my Fallout 4 setup. I updated to the latest version the “A Storywealth” (aSW) mod collection and started a new playthrough – again. Why? Well, I can say it was because I made mistakes in my existing playthrough. I can say the further I progressed, the more these mistakes bothered me. I can say it was because the new version of aSW was available. All of these statements are true. But the real reason is I wanted a clean start for screen archery, settlement building, recruitment of the level-four vendors, posts for this blog, and to get information for a story that my buddy Jeff and I are working on.

I can also tell you that I’ve made my first mistake. Already.

As part of the “information for a story” part, I intended to record the playthrough so that I could refer back to the videos for minute details to be included in the story. It wasn’t until I was halfway through clean up and build of houses for the Quincy Five that I remembered I was going to do that.

I almost reloaded a save.

But I didn’t. (Or I haven’t yet.) I did take some shots of the two homes I put together for Preston and crew. The beginnings of a Sanctuary Hills build that will progress as the story does – as it was intended to.

Looking at the picture below, you’ll see these houses – the first two non-ruined houses on the left side of the Sanctuary Hills road as you leave the Old North Bridge heading toward the cul-de-sac – and what I’ve done to the area as part of the “Sanctuary” quest.

I’ll put a gallery of screenshots of what I’ve done at the end of this post. But all of this was done to complete the quest given by Sturgis. Nothing fancy and nothing permanent. In fact, the way I’m thinking right now, this entire section of Sanctuary won’t be touched again except to role-play scavenging it for materials to use in the real build. Unless I change my mind (because that never happens), the real build will be focused on the cul-de-sac and the riverfront.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the screenshots. I hope I can stay on course, and I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
