settlement house is wet

[Sizzle]

why does my house get wet when its raining everything in my house get wets and soaky and also why is there rain coming through my roof even though i have a roof???

[Zombified]

If my roof had as many holes as the default build ones in FO ... I think I'd have wet furniture too lol
It's normal.. seen plenty of people annoyed by it :)

Lots of the roofs have holes in them. Pretty sure they all leak (not sure about the wasteland workshop ones though)

It has nothing to do with the holes in the roof. You'll have the same thing with a solid roof. The issue is that the game doesn't seem to know that the wetness shader shouldn't be applied underneath something that should logically block the rain.

Its the way the game engine is, nothing can be done about it.

It depends if you are in an interior cell or not. Buildings like the ones that are built in settlements will have rain in them. They are still external cells. Roofs do not actually keep rain off. Buildings like the inside of the Cambridge Police Station are internal cells. Rain won't get to you there. This is an age old gripe by people playing Elder Scrolls games as well. It is more noticable in this game as there are more insides of buildings that are actually still part of the external world.

it looks ugly af!!

if you turn "wetness" off in the options I don't think you see the wet effect inside but you also won't see it outside. Its a matter of what you can live with I guess.

[wyldefx]

It does.

I have seen house mods for Oblivion that bragged they had no load times. Then people in the comments section were lamenting that it was raining in their bedrooms. ☺

Kind of wierd with multiple story concrete buildings with concrete roofs and its soaking wet inside. Strange how this limitation has never been "fixed" in any game that I've played. Sims comes close with being able to rain outside a building and not inside but its quite a different engine than a 3d POV game engine like Fallout.

It has nothing to do with the engine, and everything to do with Bethesda's (or more specifically, Tod Howard's team's) inability/reluctance to code it correctly, as it would take time and effort.

They cram this settlement building nonsense down our throats, but refuse to make sure idiotic stuff like this doesn't happen.

Take ARK: Survival Evolved, for instance. Open world, everything you build is considered 'outside', but if you slap down a few walls and a roof, it'll count as 'indoors', and it won't rain inside.
