One of the most unique features of Fallout 4 is the ability to create settlements. You can bring in settlers and your companions to create a thriving community in the post-apocalyptic Wasteland. The settlers can be put to different tasks including making food, defending the area, and setting up shops. This completely changes the way you can approach Fallout 4 if you’re into base building. But after a while, the same old methods get dull and boring. That’s why in order to add a bit more flavor to this aspect, here are the 15 best settlement mods for you to explore!
15 . Repairable Sanctuary
This mod lets you use the workshop interface to repair Sanctuary's buildings, restore their roofs and outer walls as well as clean the interiors. The bridge can also be repaired. These repairs can be made without difficulty on an existing settlement because collisions account for the new structures. You will be able to restore your home to its previous grandeur in this manner.

When you're out adventuring and need to clear your inventory, simply drop a beacon into a container and leave a note for your settlers to know which of your Settlements to deliver the goods to. Then whatever else you put in that container will be picked up and delivered to the Settlement workbench you specified.
