So we can't build wardrobes or mannequins in FO4...

My little HQ

[There are some minor gear spoilers below (like Power armor and clothes), so beware if you don't like those.]

So i saw a lot of really awesome reddit posts about how people built their own castle sort of thing. It inspired me to move from the garage down below to something a bit more personal and spacy.

Notice my guard dog meat on the stairs. Well done, you get some extra goggles tonight.

So this is the interior, basically where i store my collections

Also includes a nice bed, a house for doggy and a weapons store (which will come in handy).

The most important part - my weapons and armor benches. I store all my junk in here and fast travel to this point constantly

Some power armor, nothing fancy...

My magazine and bobblehead collections...

Ah and the dead raider.

Here comes my problem: I want to display all i have, including some nice clothes. These are special to me and I think look great but unfortunately after searching for quite some time I didn't find any buildable furniture which can display these fine pieces.

So then comes the raider idea: I drag a dead raider from a quarter mile away all the way to my home to give him the clothes so he can display them!
Unfortunately undressed dead people will stay undressed no matter what :(

Along comes the solution! Hello my dear lady, why did you think it was a good idea to leave your post at the weapons store? Hehe...

Let me just search for a special item in my special weapons box...

So i gave her the Silver Shroud costume and dressed her. She conveniently sat down in a chair... nice dreams, baby!

She fell down afterwards but i dragged her back into the chair.

Now i just needed to assign another settler to the weapons store. Hello there, young fella!

WHAT IS THIS???? ITEM TOO HEAVY TO DRAG??? WTF

Luckily meanwhile another one of my dear friends sat down next to my silver shroud display. Hiiii, let me just sneak around...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHY DID YOU FALL DOWN? AND WHY ARE YOU TOO HEAVY TO DRAG??? AAAARHH

So uhm yeee, i gave up. I realized that my bloodlust for settlers had to stop before it gets out of control.

Hope you enjoyed - please share how you tried to display items like this!

This puts my base to shame. Good job

I'd worry about the corpse eventually despawning and taking the gear with them. I would just build a corpse box to prop them up otherwise.

There's armor, bandannas, and goggles for dogmeat. I found a red one in concord, second floor of a house with a mattress and a chem cooler.
