No sir.  F4SE is the Fallout 4 Script Extender.   That is, well a script extender.  It goes into the main file and allows other mods using scripts to be built on top of it.   Much like SKSE gave us the abilitiy to modify mods and such inside the menu, F4SE does much the same.  
 
Mods like Place Everywhere and several others are reliant on F4SE, which is why I am usually unable to play after and update and version change.  F4SE and therefore the mods based on F4SE are version centric.  
 
The mod Whiskery51.3 is referring to is called "Increased Build Limit Enhanced 4K" and allows you to expand a settlement's budget on a settlement by settlement basis.
 
The mod that allows you to lock stuff up is... Hang on, Im looking...   Locksmith

Thanks, I'll look into it later. Time for a nap.

Hey Ducky,
 
That mod works sweet. The explosion at the work bench sent a coffee pot across the room. LOL  I set it for the max. Thank you!!!!

Which mod is it? I haven't felt like playing for the last several days anyway and I still can't find my phantom noise in my PC.

If nothing else you can redo your settlements in concrete and trash/scrap the bad looking shacks and the wooden erections you call a building. Settlement perimeter walls also.
I am really having fun with that horrible settlement site with the hole in the ground. I'm currently 5 stories up and building away. I don't know if there is a height cap but I do know the defensive lasers have a range. Also, I am scrapping the old vendor stands and modernizing them to the new, sleek looking, lower in height so that I can tuck them into a lower level area without making contact with the ceiling and giving them better protection.

And you can set each settlement at a different level or not at all.   I actually had to put the mod to use last night  for the first time as well.  I've had it loaded for some time, but always chose the "not now" option.   Last night while building my masterpiece in Vault 88 I had to activate it.
 
Zuhl, it's a mod that allows you to expand the building budget on your settlement(s). 
 
Another mod I keep forgetting to mention is one that allows you to lock your doors and container.  And keep them locked.   So that keeps the settlers from helping themselves to your prized possession.  And keeps a them from rifling through your Grognak comic book collection.

 
From what I saw that is a one time set. I set mine to the max and never saw anything that would allow you to change it after that. Unless you know something I don't.
 
I was wondering about the Vault and how far you could go in general.
 
I noticed that when using this mod you do not collect achievements. Is this what all the mods do?

I watched the video Locksmith and it has bugs in it. Apparently the characters, after they have been locked up, can get out as was demonstrated on the video. This would also allow them into a secured room.
 
Are there any furniture mods that run like the expansion mod? Not worrying about issues when FO 4 gets updated.

So, what's up with this Vault 1080? is it any good? Does it require any latest expansions?

At this point in time I'm only aware of one member here that has played it and he wasn't impressed. As far as requiring any latest expansions, I would like to know that also. I wish I had more info for you.
 
 
Update:
I went over to Bethesda's site and found "Vault 1080" mod. It's estimated that this mod brings about an hour of additional play. Not many players are happy with the issues they seem to be encountering. You may want to do some research before going through the motions.

"Issues", eh? I guess I'll have to see for myself.

Anyone find the metal door in the ground that can be partially opened but you can't go in? It also gives you a choice of blowing (detonate) it up or closing it. I blew it up and now it disappeared. It is located north of Costal Cottage next to that Death Claw that usually has 2 Yao Guais (spelling). I checked online but it wasn't much help.

What did you find out? I read the messages posted at the bottom and they weren't very positive.

It's there not sure under what tag but I got it... nvidia just pumped up every gameworks feature they could... =/ To the point it looks pretty bad in many spots

 
Anything special needed to run this?

Shadow boost helps a great deal.

Has anyone tried that "Vault 1080" mod from GeForce yet?

Yes it sucks... you can run though it, nothing new or amazing.... lots and lots of gameworks about sums it up... SMH

I searched for it in the Mods section and came up empty. I'm going to kick Cait to the curb for a while and travel with Porter Gage. There is a nice Perk to be had once you reach max affinity with him.

What is the perk? I haven't gone back into Nuka land yet. LOL
 
Are you going to play along with all the factions or wipe them out?

perks to one from an npc, another for building stuff, there might be one more for killing stuff not sure, if you do not play along with being a raider, thats it DLC over the end.
