Fixed No Settlements Will Upgrade After Conqueror Install

I began a new playthrough with Conqueror and selected the option to have settlements pre-populated at Level 2, with the exception of the settlements with quests, which start at the default L0. None of the settlements will upgrade - all progress normally to 100% at either L0 or L2, but they won't actually execute the upgrade. Other symptoms:
  • Happiness is reasonable (around 80) when viewed in workshop mode, but the hud shows around ~20 happiness
  • Happiness reports read zero across the board in the pip boy / city planner's desk reports
Things tried / other notes:
  • Attempted turning off all requirements for settler needs / etc (no-involvement setting profile) to see if happiness was affecting ability to upgrade. No change.
  • Built beds manually to cover extra settlers who might be in the settlement. No change.
  • I didn't do the Conqueror raider quest after saving Preston and company. I refused his request and killed him when he went hostile.
  • Scrap isn't an issue - I have quite a bit and they're tied together with supply lines or IDEKs logistics stations. I also turned off the requirement for upgrade scrap.
Any help or suggestions folks have would be greatly appreciated.
 
Are you at the build limit?
 
Thanks for the quick response.

Initially yes, but prior to trying all the stuff above, I used the tool to increase build limit to usage + 25%, so I can still build manually in those affected settlements.
 
Are you using a City Leader? There's a known bug atm where the City won't upgrade without a leader, even if you have Leader Requirement disabled.

Oh, so that's why my raider outposts are not upgrading - the plots upgrade but the settlement as a whole does not. Good to know, I missed that bug report here.

Another question, I took Starlight Drive-In as my headquarters, disabled the plan, used the self-destruct tool, and then rebuilt it from scratch to my liking. The problem is that plots are not upgrading; all plots are stuck at their initial level, and some of them are very old (i.e. I built plots in other settlements after most of the plots in Starlight Drive-In, and these other plots have reached level 3 in the meantime). Are self-built raider outposts even supported?

[Edit] Also the plots have no raider skins, but I have seen other bug reports about them disappearaing.
 
Yes, you can build your own outposts, but you need to handle their needs like normal to get upgrades. So get happiness up to 70/80, have enough defense, food/water, etc.
