Yes you are having problems and you are right to come and report them but your attitude is often pretty shitty. This is not the first time you have slung some snide remarks about.
Really? huh, I think you're being oversensitive here. Refresh my memory perhaps, cause I don't remember being shitty to anyone, not even. I'm just throwing out my experience with the mod and the game in general out there.
I have coming up on 6000hrs in game with the majority of those before I started using SS and I absolutely had saves go to shite on me many times long before SS ever touched my hardware,
I never said no other mods can break the game, or hog the game with a bunch of stuff, but trust me, its never been as unstable as it is with SS, and I'm not even saying that to "shit on it" like you said, I think you're the one who is being rude here, me and many others have this issue and we post about it and all we get is "Yeah, your pc can't handle it" even though I've seen people with minimal load orders with just a few weather mods and clothing mods, that still get crashes, no matter if the cities are at level 1 , 2 , you name it, not giving them actual support and blaming their PCs or their setup IS dismissive indeed.
You don't even need the settlements at max level, all built up, or have a ton of settlers inside, these new playtests I've been doing are on level 1 with population at 40% , and not everything is built, I still see the save bloat, and the CTD are there, is just a matter of time for them to start comming..
Like the guy who was crashing because he had a mod altering mannequin meshes, I wonder what else I cannot use that would cause the game to crash like this, then.. I get that the game is not perfect and the forms clashing with each other will inevitably cause the game to crash at some point, but come on, having a stable game for 3 days only for it to bloat to a unusable state after that? There is no point in progressing through the game then..
and in all that time I have not had as many problems as you and one or two others seems to have.
I understand. It has not been just one or two others though, many people dont even bother reporting their crashes, the fact that this is highly endorsed doesn't mean all those people don't have issues with the mod, most of them just dismiss as a casual crash, or they just don't care enough and move on really.
Few things make me mad, but people coming onto forums and discords of passion projects and shitting on their hard work is one of them.
I am not going to pretend you and I have not crossed paths in the past, but honestly I don't get where you get all these accusations from, the only instance I've had issues with anyone here at all, is when I mentioned a couple of comments that I should have kept for myself about UFO4P (which btw, go read the changelog of UFO4P and their comment page and you tell me if I wasn't right on that post anyway.) and several people jumped at me claiming I was "shitting" on them as well, when in reality all i've practically said was that patch broke something in my game more than once and why I personally don't use it unless I need to, still, the changes they made to the workshop scripts do seem to be essential anyway, so there you have it. Also , honest, an apology if you ever felt I was shitting on anything, that is not my intention yet people seem to think that it is, but I understand, statements get out of context , it wouldn't be the internet otherwise, I can say something with no bad intentions at all but some people still decide to take it as such, that is no longer my fault, sadly.. I'm not here to befriend you, or win your little popularity contest. I only wish to remind you I've never called you names or used strong words against you or never have I mentioned the fact that I don't necessarily like your attitude either, that is something I always reserved for myself, until now, so pretty please with sugar on top, let's just hug it out, cause I'm not here to start any beefs, even if that is what some people seem to think.
Seriously, have a read over your last post and ask yourself what does it actually contribute?
I wasn't aware every post I made here had to contribute to something, I thought this was the questions section, where people with problems come to say what they're having trouble with, that's exactly what I did, I'm sorry if it was not just a "Yeah Im having CTD here as well, shitty mod" (which btw if that would have been my comment I would be completely fine with you being angry) but instead I just posted my findings on the bloat issue, what's so wrong about it? Tell me what does this bible of flame towards me actually contribute to? I can ask you the same thing. THIS really is out off topic and is not contributing to anything.
And a final note, I love sim settlements / conqueror, I wouldn't even be playing (or trying to play :P) Fallout 4 if it was not for the later two, I would have just gave up on this excuse for a fallout game a long time ago without them, so I am by no means trying to shit on something here, mate, if I wanted to shit on it, I would have outright act like a troll instead and call names on the mod , but I never ever used any offensive words against it, nor did I ever call it " a shitty mod" so stop placing words in my mouth, I love this mod, and if I come here everyday and might seem like I stand on the side of people that often crash, it's purely because that is the case and its nothing personal against the team, kinggath, or ANYBODY else for that matter mkay? I'm pointing things out because I care about the future of the mod and I'd like for stability to become a priority, too.
