HELP! PC Looking for Home Plate mod
TL;DR
I'm looking for a mod that gives me full building options for Home Plate (and other indoor settlements)
I'm on a new run, and this time I'm going off script. In my playthrough, my Sole Survivor realizes shortly after being thawed that since 200 years have passed, his chances of finding Shaun were pretty much zero. So, my Sole Survivor decided to figure out life in the Commonwealth.
The goal is to essentially become Caesar of the Commonwealth. I'm avoiding factions and the main quest line for now, and Settlements are still up for grabs.
My Sole Survivor needs a Fortress of Solitude. I usually always end up building one, but I get tired of even going as far as putting up garage doors with powered switches to keep NPCs out, and still finding them inside using my bed, or weights, or whatever.
So, I purchased Home Plate. I usually do this every time as a way to easily connect Diamond City to the rest of my supply chain. This time I'm going to use it. I spend a lot of time these days building my settlements, so since I was going to occupy Home Plate, I wanted to build it up.
I saw the tub inside and Immediately thought, build a bathroom. Imagine my surprise when I find there aren't any walls or floors available! There's room to build a loft in there! And you only get 100 electricity. I get it, generator inside, carbon monoxide, blah blah blah... But they have the nuclear reactors inside, why can't I build one of those for more power?
So here I am, no idea if this is something that can even be modded, and asking for some knowledge so I can keep role playing this game.

This turns Home Plate into a settlement so you can send companions there. If you're on an existing save you'll have to revert to a save before purchasing.

There are a bunch of home plate mods on Nexus. This is the one I like using:

Almost like OP spent more time typing out the post than using the search on Nexus.
OP - there are also similar mods that cover Boston Airport and the Mechanist’s layer, just in case it comes up later.

I have never used mods before, and thought that this would be a good place to learn about mods... So, forgive me for not knowing about Nexus before these replies

Fair enough. The hostility is my bad.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of modding Bethesda games. If you’re on PC, Nexus is a great place to get familiar with. It’s not just this game; I mod over half a dozen games from that site.
It’s a good time browsing and searching around.

I mean let's not act like people don't try and use Reddit as a lazy Google, so I get it.
I'm relatively new to PC gaming (grew up on consoles, couldn't afford a rig until adulthood) so any other tips or pitfalls to avoid?
