Happy New Year all!

Today I've got a beta of the upcoming City Plan megapack! This includes over 160 city plans! Beyond Season 3 plans, @Gnofusnomuss spent countless hours porting many of the season 1 and 2 finalist and winning plans forward to work with SS2!

With the SS1 packs, we had done them as giant esps and this ended up being a big problem due to the script data limit, so for this - we've put together an installer so you can choose the plans you want if it turns out you hit the limit. Most of you should NOT hit the limit so I would recommend just accepting the defaults and installing the entire collection for maximum options. If you do hit the script data limit, you will know as soon as you try to load a save, the game will not start, it will just have the loading Vault Tec icon forever (if this happens, just close out the game, rerun the installer and deselect half the plans and try again).

You can download the beta here.

For Bethesda.net users, there is no install method available and listing over 160 mod pages would cause all sorts of problems, so we created a small esp with just 1 plan per settlement. With this we tried as much as possible to pick winning or finalist plans, and also tried to showcase as many different designers as possible. You can download and try out this esp here.

Issues We're Watching For:

  • Wrong esls being included during install
  • City Plans not building
  • Supported settler counts on the HUD not matching the actual built beds/residential plot counts
  • Information not matching up correct (example, the plan having the wrong person or design name on it)

If you participated in a Season 3 contest and did not see your plan here, please DM myself and @Sirlach ASAP and we can get your missing plans added! (Same goes for if you didn't want us to include it for some reason)

Current plan is to release this along side the next patch, which should be Friday the 13th. (hmm maybe that's a bad date to choose...)

PC users with F4SE can address this by using Baka ScrapHeap. It extends the limit by 2, 3 or 4x.
If you are using Buffout 4, you will have to disable the memory manager for Baka ScrapHeap to work. (I personally don't recommend doing this)
