#tenpines bluff

Finished the base for Tenpines Bluff. I expanded far more than I originally planned, and could have expanded far more, but I had to cut it somewhere. This aerial shot does not show all the cliffs and rocky outcrops I labored over too long.

Third house is complete. The exterior is a plain, but it can hold more people in it.

While doing all these California ranches, I keep thinking about how non-suited to Boston/New England/the Commonwealth they are. Not that no one has ever built a ranch here, but these are lacking some key features like basements or insulation. It's fine that the town was leveled, because no one was gonna make it through the winter anyway!

Sometimes when I’m building I’m like damn, I can’t believe I get to live here. And then I have to say, No, you don’t live there. It’s just a video game.

Tenpines is coming along! Just built the guest house for friends and employees. Definitely taking my time with this one because I like hanging out here! Weirdly I tend to stop visiting my completed builds, which is why I wanted to save pictures of them! I ended up losing a lot of screenshots from my past save because I thought screenshots saved to the Xbox. No, they don’t, I guess. So not making that mistake again!

Hancock is my in-game ghoul husband and I can hear myself saying to him, Now, I know I promised you a chem room but we just don’t have the space in this house! And I can hear him grumble, For real? 20 million seating areas and no space for a chem room?

A living space for chatting or playing card games in the cabin. Many late nights on this couch!

It’s an imaginary dream cabin but I still need a place to do make up, right? I converted CVC’s Workbench into a vanity because that’s what doing make up really is, work!

All of my employees at Tenpines Bluff will be wearing Operators suits and Pack masks. In my opinion Pack masks are the greatest apparel in the game. I even like using the masks in room decoration. Anyway, I think this outfit gives off kind of an Eyes Wide Shut vibe, even though I’ve never seen the movie. I have never thought of building such a decadent living space before, but it’s been really fun to try to make a cabin as fancy as I can in a post-apocalyptic landscape!

Got a bit done on lots of different areas in my Tenpines build. My obsession with building over shacks has not stopped! I built this triplex over the standing shack for employee quarters. The shack is still accessible, just need a ladder down then up to get there! The triplex has a nice porch with a view for the settlers to relax on their time off! Not that they can’t come hang out in my mansion, though.

This is the dining area in the main cabin. There’s a large kitchen area with a breakfast table or where Nora gets her reading done at night. There’s also a large dining table for guests and a banquet table for parties. In the back there’s a beverage area for guests that are thirsty - a soda fountain, coffee machine and Nuka Cola mixer! In a separate room, there’s the stocked pantry with two employees doing meal prep.

Bedroom is coming along, still need to decorate around the porch with the amazing view! I have a mini bar up there with a bartender, a cozy fireplace and a comfy double bed. Next door is the sauna, walk -in closet and bathroom!

Made a little sauna using the mist from the mod Settlement Markers!

Really wish I could wake up and have breakfast here!
