Building a city

[the_british_kiwi]

Ok so for the past year or so ive been building sanctuary into a gigantic city. I have a high wall made from buses and train carts, and thanks to DLC i have the warehouse sliding doors as electronic gate, and 4 big watchtowers in the N, S, E & W. I have filled it up with things but its still too empty. Please help me by suggesting buildings. Ill just put down what i already have to narrow it down.
Police station
Prison
Bar/diner
Retail store
Gym
School
Greenhouse(for rich residents that live in fixed up prewar houses)
Farm(for poorer residents living in ramshakle housing)
School
Church of attom
Cheap everything vendor
general goods store w/ building
Salon
Doctors / chem dealer / facial reconstruction
Gunshop/shooting range
Armorer/ robot repair shop
Bramin farm
Playground
And a small slum.

Then we have the off limits to civilians area, for my military/ guard group. Its sectioned off, and contains a wepons storage facility, ammunition shed, and armor / power armor / robo repair eharehouse with a bunch of general storage on the second floor. Strong also lives in this section.

Thats a lot right?? But my streets still feel empty!! If you have any suggestions, id be thankful. I suppose you can use this as a list of ideas for building if you too are making a city!

No town hall?

Be careful, there is still hardware limitations on just how much your equipment can render - no matter how high-end your computer is. I think you would start seeing framerate drops before you 'hit a wall' so-to-speak. But don't get me wrong, I wish you the best.

I vote to see a screenshot of 'the small slum' :)

If you're open to modding, I'd suggest you'd look up "Sim Settlements" by kinggath. It's basic idea is that it's like Sim City, as to where you zone off areas, Residental, Agriculture, Industrial, and Commercial and the settlers in your workshop build them, or you can build them if you like. Each zone has the ability to upgrade and turn into better versions. There's so much more to it, so if you're interested check it out on Nexus! It's breathed a whole new life into the game for me, and is on my "never uninstall" list ;)

- A fire department (fire extinguishers for everyone).
- A "caps" bank (for the rich with lots of safes).
- A pawn shop (just another shop really).
- A betting shop (for a fighting arena maybe).
- A charity (i.e. run by Ann Hagraves, she's the type for it).
- A retirement home (put Sheffield in there, he doesn't have much choices at his age).
- A museum (pre-war stuff).
- A military recruitment office (i.e. for the Gunners or BoS).
- A 24h licensed liquor store (booze, booze and more booze).
- A tattoo shop (i.e. facial reconstructions, but maybe it lets you change tattoos, haven't tried yet).
- An undertaker (probably pointless, but whatever).
- A vet and a petshop (dogs and cats, and maybe molerats, too).

Hope this gives you some inspirations. In return would I like to request some screenshots, please. Thank you.

Considering what happened to the vault 88 mega build the game definitely has issues if you build to much
