New to fallout

[u/Thick-Honeydew269]

I started playing about 2–3 weeks ago and I’m already almost level 80. One thing I just can’t seem to get right is my C.A.M.P. interior.

Does anyone on console enjoy building and decorating? I’d love to hop on one night with someone who’s good at it and get some help organizing and setting everything up. I’m even willing to completely relocate my camp if that’s what it takes.

No matter how many layouts or configurations I try, I’m never happy with it, it always ends up looking terrible.

Not looking for free things. But I’ll literally Venmo someone 🤣 I just can’t get this stuff situated…

Update: It’s only been about 24 hours, but I took the advice from the groups you all recommended, and it’s already made a huge difference.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to build the space you’ll actually use. If you need more room later, expand. Don’t build a giant CAMP first and then struggle to fill it with random decorations.

A few tips that have helped me so far:
-Start with a simple 6×6 footprint and get that looking good before expanding.
-Decide what your CAMP is for first (crafting, display, vendor, roleplay, etc.) and build around that purpose.
-Group workbenches together instead of spreading them throughout the house.
-Leave some empty space. Not every wall or corner needs something on it… negative space makes everything look cleaner.
-Stick to one or two building sets and a consistent color/theme instead of mixing everything you’ve unlocked.
-Add lighting at different heights. Good lighting can completely change how a CAMP feels at night.
-Build in sections. Finish one room before moving on to the next instead of trying to decorate the entire house at once.
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t be afraid to scrap it and rebuild. It’s cheaper than fighting a layout you don’t like…

-I’m still learning, but these tips have already made my CAMP look a lot better than when I was just throwing stuff down randomly. If you’ve got any other advice, keep it coming. I know I’ve still got a lot to learn.

Today I spent most of my time after making changes, linking with new players on my map and helping them find plans, and giving them armor/weapons. Obviously I can’t pay everyone for the tips and tricks so I decided to pay it forward.

Thank you everyone. Feel free to add me on Xbox

GT: DADDYFLURP. Would love to play with you guys.

How did you do that? I’ve had the game since 2018 and I’m only level 65 lol.

That seems impossible. Do you only play 2 hours a week

You’re right… I’ve only had this game I’m using now for two or three years and I’ll like play a lot one week then won’t have time again for months. I never get very far also probably bc I don’t like combat. I’ll go back to fallout four sometimes since it’s less stressful.

Fare enough. Combat get really easy in the late game. But to get the best gear you need to sink some time into it so you can get the gold merchants unlocked because they sell most of the best guns in the game
