So this problem is fairly extensive. I started a fresh game and got going with SS2 immediately. I haven't done much of the vanilla game (I'm only just up to having the quest to go to the Glowing Sea).
First, despite having all auto-assigns turned off (in both the workbench addon and SS2) a new settler arrives, they assign themselves to a home and a job (farming if it's open). If the job plot hasn't been built, it starts building, the settler abandons it and then the plot is forever stuck in build mode with hammering noises coming from it. The icons show no one is assigned. If I try to activate the ASAM it tells me the plot is finishing a task and try later. If I try to assign a settler to it, it shows as occupied but won't complete construction. The plot has to be destroyed and replaced.
Then there's the issue of settlers not doing what they are told. I will assign them to a plot, go do something else for a moment, come back to see if they got it set up and. . . no one at the plot, construction not started, settler unemployed and/or homeless. I sometimes have to tell the settler three times to do it before they will.
My latest settlement is at Starlight Drive-In. The homes, agricultural plots, industry and services built up okay, people working away. But now all of the commercial plots look like they were built, have the occupied icon lit up, but the level icon is 0 (zero) and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I replaced one of the plots, assigned a settler to it, it became occupied then sat there doing nothing. After a few minutes, just for giggles, I clicked the ASAM and clicked refresh plot. It refreshed the plot, with the structure completed but again, showing as level 0. So I have my entire commercial section non-functioning.
This is my second play through of SS2. The previous one was getting buggy, I assumed part of the issue was I had actually finished that play through with all of my settlements built up (not with Sim Settlements though) and had started to scrap them and replace everything with SS2 plots. Which is when I started the fresh game. So in this game I now have more settlements built up with SS2, some with city plans, most of them without. I'm beginning to think there is just too much for the game to process so a lot of the newer plots just aren't getting processed any longer. Although it's two and half years old, my PC is no slouch in the hardware aspect (it's an Asus ROG gaming rig).
Final note, SS2 NPC's continue to show up, offer me their quests and their quests seem to be working okay. But my settlements are shutting down or refusing to begin operating. It's getting frustrating and I'm reluctant to start building up any more settlements.
Now I'm off to try the one thing I haven't tried yet (and dread doing) which is backup my save files, then remove every mod except the SS2 ones and see what happens.
