I enjoy being the “Wasteland Babysitter,” lol. Certainly, from an in-universe perspective, it would be pretty ridiculous for SS to be building all these settlements on his or her own, but it doesn’t stop it from being fun, Imo. That being said, Sim Settlements makes it more fun.

One thing that I like to do is turn Croup Manor in a ghouls only settlement. So automatic installing and running Recruitment Beacons can become an inconvenience for thematic settlements. We usually get 2 settlers straight away when its turn on for the first time, and hope a SS script won't turn it back on, once a while. Or reinstall it.

Ohhh that’s why the bug happened. I didn’t put the plan and i used 1 of the settlements you said we cant do. THX man

Hello, I'm not sure about one thing. If I choose a city plan it also contains a plan of all future plots or my settlers just put them randomly? Or is it dedicated from the beginning where they will place shops, beds, etc.?

I just wanna make sure: Once I put a leader on a settlement I can completely forget about it and just enjoy as the city develops itself? there are so many options in the holotape!

Thank god i found this vid i thought it was an automatic thing where you get settlers and just leave them to it

Are there any mods I need to download to make the build limit bigger or does the Sim settlements do it by itself? -thanks

Can i still build my own stuff when sim settelment is active. For examble one of the canons? Or will that break the automatic building of the settelment?

Love this mod. I have a question. Once a city has been made and virtually maxed out, can uou take the mayor to use on another location? Will the first one still run OK?

Great video. I was afraid of using that but now I started using. Thank you!

So if I start a city plan, in those spots where you said a ploy could be placed, are the settlers just going to magically place a plot down there themselves? Or will I need to do that?

I first tried the 3 and 1 then just the base Sim Settlements with Rise of the Commonwealth but with either add on, my keyboard would not work at all. It works fine with the vanilla game or just the base Sim Settlements but it's like it gets switched off with either add on?

You suggest using either: Attackers - Get off my Build Zone www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25762 or More Attackers - Get off my build zone www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/27465 for your play-through. "Moves attack markers beyond the boundaries of settlements." - wim95 (Mod Author) They are both by the same Author which is why I'm recommending both at the same time. The only difference is "More Attackers" adds additional markers as well as moving the default ones, which I find more immersive because who only attacks from three select directions.

I plan on using SS in my new game, I noticed though that there is a SS2 as well. I have all of the DLC's and I was wondering which should I download 1 or 2? Does SS2 compliment 1 or supersede 1? HD space isn't an issue, I just don't want to use redundant mods that take up MO2 slots, and I'm uneasy about combining or repackaging mods.

Outstanding addition to the game

Most mod authors give zero, or almost zero documentation. The majority of the remainder give very poor documentation. Now, I can't fault them for that. Writing about modding is much less fun than modding. Plus, they do it for free. I can't complain. But damn if I can't praise when they do an outstanding job. My god, your documentation is excellent, you have tutorials in the mod, AND you made a youtube series for it on top of that. KINGgath indeed.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it so I can build myself after the blueprints already on it

Can you set the game to just automatically start building settlements right from the beginning of a new save? Like without even going to each settlement and initializing it?

Used sim settlements in sanctuary and it began building some of the settlement. Never got lifted into the air no matter how I set up the cinematic in options. Also do we have to make plots still after using a city plan ?. Or is it automatically done by the settlers there. The quest marker does not do anything either. Don't know if It supposed to be like that or what ?. Seems there is a lot general information about how to use the mod that is not mentioned even though there is so many video guides. Also none of the settlers scrapped any of the pre placed stuff, they just build directly in it like it was not there.
