Hello everybody!
New to the site but i've been following this mod from day 1. I really love the way that this will change FO4 settlement gameplay and i'm ready to try it out for the very first time.

I've been modding my games since Skyrim and have some experience by now but the one thing i always struggle is choosing the mods i want.
For my first playthrough with SS i'm looking for some advice or suggestions for mods to add to the list.

My PC build is this:
CPU: I5 3570K @ 3.4GHz
Ram: 16 GB
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
I usually play at 1080 resolution and have the game installed on a Seagate Firecuda 2TB Hard disk with 64mb cache and rpm of 7200.
I'm very much into "immersion" mods to make the game less "gamy" and more intens.

So far i'm including these mods for my next playthrough:
- Unofficial Patch
- F4SE
- Full dialog interface
- Sim Settlements (obviously ;-)
- True Storms
- Armor and Weapon keyword Community Resource (AWKCR)
- Armorsmith extended
- Settlement Managing Software
- craftable ammo
- Lowered weapons
- Enhanced Blood Textures
- Old World Radio Boston
- Clean Power Armor HUD
- DEF UI
- Shadow Boost
- HUD Framework
- Immersive HUD
- Power Armor Movement Sounds (PAMS)
- Salvage Beacons (i don't know if they are still needed with the newest SS)
- T-51 Advanced Computer System
- Valdacil's item Sorting
- the Vivid Fallout series for graphic overhaul
- CBBE or Wonder Body
- Campsite
- Better power armor
- See-through Combat Scopes

Also considering but not sure if this will conflict with SS
-Better Settlers
- Beantown Interiors Project
- Immersive Vendors

What i'm looking for from the community is some suggestions on other mods or pointing out some problem mods or mod conflicts that could happen. As this will be my first time with Sim Settlement, i'm not sure if all this will work together.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

PS i'm not sure that this is the right section to post it in, so if a moderator finds it and moves it, i'm happy with that!
 
Better Settlers and Immersive Vendors both work fine with SS. I would recommend getting Eli's Armour Compendium and Ponytail Hairstyles by Azar to go with Better Settlers. It gives your settlers a bit more variety than vanilla. Eli's does have an AE + Val's patch too.

I haven't used Beantown in a while. It was giving me weird cell loading issues in places were it changed things, the game would actually freeze up and the Vault-tec loading icon would come up in the lower right, but this was quite a while back so that issue may be solved by now. I've been using the "[blank] Expanded" series by cryptdick instead. Not as many interiors, but it does add quite a few new buildings to the different areas with some loot and a few new enemy spawn points.

Make sure to grab Place Everywhere. It will save you a lot of headaches when building or tweaking plot placement, especially with the new interior plots.
 
Hey Xnef1025,

thanks for the reply!
I will include Better Settlers and Immersvie Vendors to my list. Also will check out the recommended mods and see if i'm like them.
So far i didn't had any problems with Beantown but i will look into that Expanded series you're suggesting.

If you have any other suggestions, i would love to hear them!

Happy gaming everybody!
 
As above but also

Unique npcs- with patch for better settlers.
Raider overhaul
Supermutant redux
