CHECK OUT THE TUTORIALS/REVIEWS OF 2 OF MY FAVORITE YOUTUBERS!

i) Install the latest version of F4SE !

- copy ALL FILES AND FOLDERS from F4SE to your Fallout 4 install directory! Transfer Settlements requires the Information folder from F4SE, specifically Information/Scripts/F4SE.pex AND Data/Scripts/ObjectReference.pex !
- if yous take whatever problem installing or using F4SE please watch FALLOUT four Script Extender (F4SE) - Tutorial by Gopher
- and don't forget to run the game using f4se_loader.exe instead of Fallout4.exe!
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to utilise my tool: Fallout4.exe Auto-Backup as this mod needs to exist updated with each new version of the game.

2) Install HUDFramework!

After installing the mod you will receive a holotape to your inventory chosen [Settings] Transfer Settlements which you will ofttimes find under the submenu "Setting Holotapes" without the holotape itself having the [Settings] prefix if you're using item sorting mods. Information technology is also craftable at Chemistry Stations nether the Utility department. All features this mod offers are available through this single holotape.

Alternatively from v1.42 there's an optionally compatibility with Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) if you're using MCM you should detect Transfer Settlements Full general Settings nether Mod Config from the pause bill of fare. The settings are yet available from the holotape as well.

TL;DR
Use the holotape and follow the instructions in the game.

EXPORTING SETTLEMENTS

Load up your holotape at the location of the settlement you wish to export and choose Export this settlement to a blueprint .

On the next screen choose a design slot from the list. These blueprint slots represent the numbered folders in your blueprints folder that is located in your Fallout 4 installation binder under Data\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints . So for example the data file for a pattern in the first slot will look something similar this Information\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints\1\bp_dante_abernathy_1702081950.json . So choosing a blueprint slot here will make up one's mind the blueprint folder you wish to use for this settlement consign. Note that any previously existed blueprints in that chosen folder will be overwritten automatically and then brand sure you lot backup your design files somewhere else if you want to export more settlements than the number of bachelor blueprint slots.

Later on selecting 1 of them you can fine-melody the options of the export .

- Consign original items (not congenital by the Histrion)
By enabling the export of original items you lot will export items that are linked to the settlement workshop but wasn't built by the Player. Recollect of Shawn's Crib at Sanctuary Hills equally an example.
This is useful if you previously removed these items and desire them back in your game. But in most cases you probably desire to export merely the items built by yourself.

- Consign DLC items / Consign mod-added items
Turning off the export of DLC items or mod-added items means you don't desire these types of items exported into the blueprint. By default these options are turned on since the import process handles missing DLCs or mods perfectly.

- Export farm animals (dogs, cats, brahmins)
The choice to export farm animals lets you consign dogs, cats, brahmins to your blueprint. Note that this volition never export unique animals such equally Maisie the true cat or Clarabell the brahmin at Abernathy Farm.

- Consign tamed creatures
The option to export tamed creatures lets you export various tamed creatures added to your settlement by cages from the Wasteland Workshop DLC or from mods that work similarly.

- Consign marker-based items
Marker-based objects are settlement objects that are represented by markers in Workshop Style. In gild to successfully export such objects, Transfer Settlements can now optionally work inside Workshop Mode, granting the ability to fully imitate manual settlement edifice. This was tested with ccmads'southward Settlement Objects Expansion Pack v1.6.4 and Build Your Own Puddle v4.0 by Akarnan merely should be compatible with whatever mods that work similarly.

- Export wired power connections
This feature requires F4SE 0.4.1 or afterward and ObjectReference.pex from F4SE. Adding the wired connections data to your pattern will require a fresh export with Transfer Settlements v1.41 or later. Checking this option will store the data for all wired power connections in your settlement.

- Export Sim Settlements items
This option requires Sim Settlements to exist installed. By checking this Sim Settlements plots can be exported, edifice plans and upgrade stages are beingness exported every bit well so you will exist able to import the same plot with the same building with all its currently exported upgrades.
VIP Stories tin be exported - available from Sim Settlements (two.ane.seven).
Industrial Revolution Avant-garde Industrial Plots can be exported - bachelor from Sim Settlements (ii.1.seven).
Industrial Revolution Martial Plots and Recreational Plots can exist exported.

Note that all of these options are bachelor before importing a blueprint as well, then even if a file contains all exportable items, animals and creatures from various DLCs and mods it is always possible to cull to discard the aforementioned categories of objects and NPCs before importing a design, just like y'all can discard them here. In other words you are never forced to import these optional assets from a blueprint if y'all don't want to, just choosing not to export unnecessary items in the first place may event in a faster operation both during export and import.

Starting time THE Consign!
Closes the Pip-Male child and starts the export procedure.

SCANNING
First the settlement will be scanned for assets that are actually valid regarding your export settings.

Bluish highlight = avails beingness scanned
- Yellow highlight = assets discarded by you lot
- Red highlight = assets that cannot be exported such every bit settlers or unique animals

EXPORTING
After the scanning process has been finished the program starts exporting the remaining assets that are all the same highlighted in blue. An object

turning into green means information technology will end up in the external blueprint file. Once the exporting process has been finished as well, you can read a report near the blueprint details. It is highly recommended that you make a screenshot of the report if you want to publish your settlement every bit information technology shows you lot the required plugins for your settlement. Alternatively y'all can ever check for this information past opening the design file itself using a text editor.

BLUEPRINT FILES

Blueprints are in JSON format which is an open-standard format that uses human-readable text to store/transmit information. These blueprint files are locatedin your Fallout 4 installation folder under Information\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints\ where each non-empty Blueprint Slot has a numbered folder with a JSON file in it. So for example if you export a settlement to slot 1, y'all volition detect the blueprint file underInformation\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints\1\.

UPLOADING A Blueprint TO NEXUSMODS
Publishing your settlement every bit a design modern can be done in a few easy steps.

Consign your settlement as detailed above.
Notice the file.
Make sure you lot pack the file with folders included. Your archive should contain the total path like for example F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints\one\my_cool_settlement.json instead of just the JSON file. Only do Non include other files from the F4SE or Plugins folder! You should but include your Design (JSON) file(s).
Proper noun your mod somethig like "... Settlement Blueprint" - this is important if you want users to easily recognize it to be a Transfer Settlements blueprint past the mod's name. Choose the category Transfer Settlement Blueprints for your modernistic and add the tag: Transfer Settlements Blueprint !
After uploading the file to NexusMods and setting upwards your mod page, make certain y'all add Transfer Settlements as a requirement. You lot may too add F4SE and HUDFramework just this mod already covers those requirements.
Make sure you add all other mods every bit well that are requirements for your Blueprint.

IMPORTING BLUEPRINTS

Load up your holotape once again but this fourth dimension your location doesn't thing. Cull Import a settlement from a blueprint .

On the next screen choose the design you want to import depending on the number of the binder you copied or exported it to earlier.

After selecting one of them y'all will come across a cursory info about the file (design format or popup message depending on your General Setings), and then on the next screen y'all can fine-tune the options of the import .

- Show blueprint info
You tin can check the blueprint info any number of times.

- Import original items (not built past the Player)
By enabling the import of original items y'all will import any items that were originally linked to the settlement workshop only wasn't congenital by the creator of the Pattern. Another example would exist Tato Plants and Melons at Abernathy Farm. Of form if the Blueprint doesn't contain such items this option is irrelevant.

- Import or nuke marker-based items
Marker-based objects are settlement objects that are represented by markers in Workshop Manner. In order to successfully import or destroy such objects, Transfer Settlements tin at present optionally piece of work within Workshop Mode, granting the ability to fully imitate manual settlement building. This was tested with ccmads's Settlement Objects Expansion Pack v1.6.4 and Build Your Own Pool v4.0 by Akarnan but should be compatible with whatever mods that work similarly. In order to destroy such items in an existing settlement you as well need to choose the 'Nuke settlement before import' selection.

- Import wired ability connections
This characteristic requires F4SE 0.4.1 or later and ObjectReference.pex from F4SE. If the settlement was exported with Transfer Settlements v1.41 or later it will almost probably take the data for wired upward objects in it. Checking this pick will recreate those wired connections in your settlement.

- Restore snapped power connections
This feature requires F4SE 0.four.1 or afterward and ObjectReference.pex from F4SE. These are the snapped power connections added by the Contraptions Workshop and the Vault-Tec Workshop DLCs such as conduits and vault sections. Importing/restoring these non-wired connections volition exist automatic, the script volition auto-find continued objects and restore snap connections, then in that location's no need for a fresh export with Transfer Settlements v1.41 or afterward for this to work. By checking this option these type of connections should be restored even when you import a blueprint that was exported with an older version of the modernistic.

- Import Sim Settlements Plots
This option requires Sim Settlements to exist installed. By checking this Sim Settlements plots can exist imported. With this choice only the type of the plot volition be restored without the actual building plans or building upgrades. So if information technology was a residential plot on concrete foundations then it will be imported equally a new residential plot on concrete foundations that tin still turn into any type of buildings.

- Import Sim Settlements Buildings
This selection requires Sim Settlements to be installed. By checking this Sim Settlements plots can be imported forth with their original building plans. With this selection but the blazon of the plot and the blazon of the edifice volition be restored without the actual building upgrades. And so if it was a Raised Shack then information technology will be imported equally a new, level 0 Raised Shack that still needs to be built past a settler.

- Import Sim Settlements Buildings + Upgrades
This option requires Sim Settlements to be installed. By checking this Sim Settlements plots tin exist imported forth with their original edifice plans and all of its upgrades. With this option the blazon of the plot, the type of the building and all the accomplished upgrades volition be restored instantly.

If you plough this off, blueprint info volition exist shown in a unproblematic popup window.

Multithreaded script execution

Transfer Settlements normally works with multithreading. This generally means that the script doesn't wait for a sure performance to finish earlier going to the next particular to initiate the aforementioned operation. Turning off multithreading may solve operation problems or crashes if you experience trouble using the mod, however information technology slows down both import and export processes significantly. Note that you shouldn't ever turn this feature off while still using the mod with animations turned on!

Printing Settlement-Boy to offset consign/import

Pip-Boy is at present just closes itself and there's a new custom animation also - you can watch the player pressing the Settlement-Boy instead of the black loading screens when you first an export or an import. Past turning this selection off the Thespian will simply shut the Pip-Male child without an additional animation.

PRESET: Rapid

This preset turns off all animation, shader and audio furnishings but uses the fastest possible, multithreaded script execution. You should employ this preset if your goal is to export or import settlements the fastest manner possible.

PRESET: Cinematic

The modernistic is specifically designed to support any items added by DLCs and other mods to your workshop!

On top of that it as well supports any custom settlements added by mods as long as those settlements are using the vanilla Workshop object placed in the gameworld through the editor. Of grade in this case you lot volition need the original settlement mod to be installed in your game to import the blueprint of that custom settlement.

The mod is uniform with Identify Everywhere , and information technology is also capable of exporting and importing Scaling data ! You tin likewise forcefulness items to be imported as static objects past manually editing the blueprint file and changing the value 'RemoveHavok' from 0 to 1 on sure items.

The mod is fully uniform with Sim Settlements, Sim Settlements Expansions and any Sim Settlements Addons!

The mod is fully compatible with Chesko's Conquest mod!

The mod is compatible with most mods that add objects to the workshop that human action as markers in Workshop Mode.

The mod is capable of optionally exporting and importing creatures tamed with cages from the Wasteland Workshop DLC or from mods working similarly.

Probably needless to say but Transfer Settlements does non support model or texture replacer mods. It volition export the FormID of the original item regardless of the mesh or skin replacements.

Although I've been testing the mod for months, you should await some unknown issues and the occasional crashes, specially during or after importing a settlement. If so, make sure yous read my glutinous post how to prepare these problems and how to study bugs.
