Yeah the actual plots themselves won't be in any of those sub-menus. The quest is supposed to add "residential plots" to that list for you to select and build from but for some reason it hasn't done that.

Its likely due to a conflict with another mod or an improper load order. Like Cessori said you should post your plugin list so we can look at it to try and locate the issue. I can assure you that its not SS2 causing the problem as I've just recently started a new save and had no issues getting Jake to show up.

please try not to judge me poorly for some of the mods listed in my load order

i do have some merge patches in this load order btw also i tried to figure out how to create a load order using modwatch but i couldnt figure it out so i gave up here is a copy of my loadorder.txt of the mods i use

Could be the start me up mods I guess. The rest seems in order.

Its your version of Start Me Up. You're not using the original mod you're using the Redux version right? Well on the mod page description at the very bottom for the redux version it says SS2 isn't fully compatible with the mod. I know it says that its "kind of compatible" but the mod author mentions something about how leveling at character creation won't work and that they're considering making a patch to get the two mods to play nice together. In my opinion if it was just a problem with dialogue not matching your chosen alternate start it wouldn't really need a patch. I'm using the original Start Me Up mod and I've had no issues.

I'd guess that's your culprit right there. Try removing it on a fresh save and seeing if you can get SS2 to function normally. If it works then you have your answer.

You have XDI so you will need the SS2 - XDI patch.

lucky me i still have a copy of the original start me up to test if thats the problem i'll get back to ya'll in a bit once i do some testing

 

[lord_Redd]

ok i tried the original ver. of start me up and yet again it didnt work do any of ya know if homemaker is compatible with ss2 if not then i have no clue what could be the cause
before i try removing homemaker im going to try starting a new save

update sooo sense i last updated this post i tried using og start me up and when i did for some reason my game started crashing when i tried to start a new character i checked my ini files and nothing that seems off so now im just reseting my data folder to see if that fixes it

Looking at this (https://wiki.simsettlements2.com/en/getting-started/known-issues), your issue sounds like something a build limit mod would affect. None from that list but could be something you have. As for Homemaker, I swear it was incompatible but can't find any info on it. Maybe it's not.

start me up

If you just want to skip the prologue and are not interested in SMU's role play elements you can use this mod:

Fast Start - Skip Sanctuary Prologue

In a new game, wake up in the cryopod after character creation.

Its SS2 compatible.

ok so update time i disabled homemaker and so i've tried everything to get ss2 to work and im still having the same problem where the game seems to not recognize that i have gotten the asam sensor and there for wont add the plots thing to my settlement builder at this point im pretty sure that nothing i do will fix my sim settlements 2. i have one last idea and this may sound crazy but do i have to do the concord quest for this to work correctly if not then i have no idea what could fix this

 

[Antoine Soverie]

The concord quest is required for the next part of this quest, should always let you build residential before that. But, worth a shot.
