How to Repair Buildings in Fallout 4

Fallout 4 is one of Bethesda’s biggest games in the Fallout franchise. The game follows the story of someone whose family entered Vault 111 at the start of the war. During their time in Cryo, their son was kidnapped, and their spouse was killed.

Upon exiting Vault 111, players will need to begin building settlements while searching for their son, Shaun. Players will quickly realize that this isn’t the easiest task, especially if they want their settlements to look nice. Most settlements will have ruined buildings that need to be repaired, and here’s how players can do just that.

Can You Fix Ruined Buildings in Fallout 4?

Players playing Fallout 4 have created some amazing settlements over the years that truly showcase the talent of the community. One major reason they look amazing is that the players have repaired (or scrapped) those buildings that were ruined during the war. Unfortunately, this isn’t a very straightforward process at all; in fact, the truth is, in Fallout 4, it is impossible to do.

While players can hide the eyesores behind walls and other things, the buildings will always be there. People in the settlements will constantly be hammering away at buildings, leading players to assume they can be fixed, but they cannot be. The buildings will always look damaged unless players build walls and barriers to hide them from view while walking around the settlement. There is no real way to repair buildings without mods.
