Starting tonight, Wednesday November 23rd, I'm starting a new playthrough!
First stream will go live at 9:00 PM central tonight here:
The primary goal of this playthrough is going to be to showcase what Sim Settlements 2 feels like when played with the "Automated" settings. I want folks who don't enjoy the management aspects of SS2 to see how the mod can slot into their playthroughs and still add a lot of value. It will also be a good opportunity to discuss a lot of the different settings to help folks customize the mod in a way that matches their playstyle.
Other Goals
We'll play through some amount of quests, specifically aiming to get access to any of the unique settlers we missed during the first playthrough. There will be a fair amount of building, both through manual plot placement, and city plans, so we can get access to all the buildings we missed during the first playthrough.
This will be a relatively short playthrough, likely 6 weeks or so, since the goal is to show how quickly SS2 can play when you cut out the management aspects. Of course, there will be a lot to talk about, so hard to say how quickly I will actually progress!
Much like the previous playthrough, I'm hoping to use this opportunity to discover and fix bugs, and also to look into opportunities for improving the mod overall.
Stream Format
The format will be mostly identical to the last playthrough:
Each session my goal will be to play an hour or two, almost entirely focused on the game, though will pause for Superchats - if any of you wants to support the mod - as all funds raised will either go back into the mod, or be donated to charity!
After the gameplay section, most days I'll stop and go full audience engagement - and do a Q&A until I'm ready to go to bed. I can show you features, answer questions about the mods, etc.
I will be streaming to Youtube only, and an edited version of the stream may follow, but it likely won't happen immediately. As some of you may have noticed, we fell behind a few weeks on the first stream as the person who edits my videos hasn't had as much availability. So it may be that I need to find a new editor for playthrough editing.
Load Order
The load order is the same as the previous playthrough, though I may start installing add-on packs as we go to get more building variety.
This is all I'll be playing with to start:
HUD Framework
Workshop Framework
SS2 + SS2Extended
Chapter 2
Rise of the Commonwealth
F4SE Plugins
Place Everywhere
Better Console F4SE
MCM
I also have a couple utility mods I've made for myself to troubleshoot bugs - but they add nothing but console commands.
