"Bug" is the only prefix that should be user set.
If you're on PC and reporting an issue- if possible, upload your save to a dropbox or similar account with your character near the problem. Kinggath can get a lot of useful information from save files to help improve the mod code.
Is it a bug?
If you experience an issue first make sure that you have the most recent release of Sim Settlements and its expansions. Same goes for Bugs with Salvage Beacon. If you intentionally use an older version of the game please go to the
Patch notes on the wiki to see if it has been fixed.
Please read the FAQs
There’s a general
FAQ for all Sim Settlements and specific
FAQ for Rise of the Commonwealth expansion. Also please watch
Kinggath’s videos, those are the manual for Sim Settlements. Whatever you are experiencing might be intended.
Search for earlier reports of the same bug
If your issue still occurs, then it’s likely a bug. Please go to the appropriate forum and check, if that issue is already reported (just scan the most recent 20 posts). If it has not been reported or you cannot find anything open up a new topic and flag it as a bug.
Please do not post similar issues in threads that are fixed or resolved. Instead, open a new thread and link the previous one. Otherwise, your request might be buried.
Please be specific in your report
Tell us what happened and under which conditions. If the issue is reproducible please give us some steps. You should take honest steps to resolve the issue by yourself (e.g. check for mod conflicts) note these down as well. Always make sure you have a save file and backups ready if you report crashes. If it is a Plot-Issue persisting after a refresh please provide a screenshot.
