I know I have posted this elsewhere and I swear I am not trying to spam. I originally posted this in the workshop framework bugs section, but based on what Kinggath said, it seems it is a Sim Settlements bug and I couldn't find it already posted here. Since there seems to have been an effort to categorise current bugs, I thought I'd post it here in the right spot for completeness.
The bug is simple - the happiness report isn't even close to correct when workshop framework is installed.
Mine says Food - 19, Water - 17, Beds - 10, Shelter - 9, Defense - 20, Bonus - 1, Predicted Happiness - 7. Current happiness is 42.
Clearly the prediction is wrong (and I'd say it's being calculated wrong - I've seen negative values, which is impossible. Also, to know knowledge happiness can't change by that much in a single day). But the numbers are wrong too - my settlement has plenty of food, so that should be 20. On the other hand, I have almost no water, so that should be much lower. I also only have 6 beds for 18 settlers and my defence value is negative (999). There is also no reason for me to have a bonus.
When taking workshop framework off, the numbers are much more realistic and the prediction tends to be right on target.
What is interesting is the game specifically says it is using workshop framework to generate the happiness report, so I wonder if the fix is as simple as not getting it to use workshop framework to generate the report?
Anyway, it's hardly game breaking and I can live without the happiness report, but it is a useful tool, so if there is a possible fix that would be awesome. If this ends up in the "can't/won't fix" pile, I certainly won't stop playing with this amazing mod which is the only reason I'm still playing fallout 4 in the first place (well okay, that and I think 76 is crap )
