Settlements!, Show off your Settlements here! Options

Here is my totally unmodded (just using the in-game Editor) Sanctuary Hills Settlement. (working on making a modded one; not tested it in game yet). I haven't put a beacon up yet; so no Settlers yet. (Just Misa; Codsworth; Dogmeat; Trashcan Carla and her Brahman).

I've only truly started tapping into Settlements capabilities in the past few weeks. I quite enjoy it, although obviously there are some improvements I already have in mind that should've been done. (Also, how the Oblivion do you get lights, TVs, etc. to work? I've only randomly gotten some lights to work at Home Plate before really diving into Settlements, but I don't know how I did it.) Overall, I like what I can do, but I still have to learn some stuff and still have a bunch of settlements I have barely touched. Fortunately, I have the console at my fingertips to just add components instead of having to incessantly scrounge for them.

I've also started to actually do something about unhappy settlements. Since there were so many other things I wanted to do, I really didn't care about it. But now I actively try to boost settlement happiness (and then of course the inconvenient "This settlement is under attack!" when I'm far away from that one). I think my favorite areas to build are Sanctuary Hills and Starlight Drive-In because there is so much space and freedom to work with. Nordhagen Beach has a good amount of that, too. It would be nice if settlements were more capable of improving themselves, though, so I don't have to keep running in to save the day.

I have a few screenshots, but I want to improve some settlements first before I start showing them off. But I like some of what I have come up with.
