So... maybe this mod is pretty okay, just needs some therapy

Brand new to this wonderful mess and the forum, and I don't want to be the downer loser, but... I hate this mod.

I don't want to raze Sanctuary. I want to restore it. The structures of several homes are intact.

I can't stand my settlers. If I could, I'd banish them to Concord. All they do is complain and curse, rob and shoot each other, but there's no structure of laws and morality or any avenue to enforce civil behavior. I know it's only the random chatter from the creatures infesting the place, but it's disturbing. I hate visiting Sanctuary now because there is no way to shut it the heck off. I don't know if this is kinggath's twisted sense of humor or what, but it's seriously hurting my time in "my" home town. There needs to be an option to have Decent Society and random dialog, Rough Society, and Raider Drug Casualty Society for those who want to live in a crime infested ghetto. Seriously, Goodneighbor is Paisley Park compared to this hellhole.

This mod really needs more handholding, or strong suggestions to watch a bunch of YouTube tutorials because I assumed I could wing even a halfway complex building mod like this, but I stumbled more than I thought I would. I never made any progress in SS1 so I guess this is to be expected. At least I hadn't had to start anything over.

I'd also suggest that Old Paul's voice actor redo his dialog, because he sounds like a cartoon character, way overdoing it. Heck, I could do a gruff old codger.

I could go on a bit more, but I guess I should just throw in the towel and start over until something improves. It looks like kingg and the team are looking to tackle construction even in Boston and take at least parts of it over - that don't conflict with other mods like Thuggysmurf's - and I'd love to see that happen. Just... NOT with these settlers. I'm sorry my first post is something of a rant, but... ZOMG, this mod...
 
The problem is the settlement system itself. It's trash. Clearly underdeveloped and underexecuted. As good as SS2 is, it doesn't fix it. Building settlements or using ROTC is pointless if the system itself limits you to no further than supply lines.
 
I almost always build Sanctuary myself. If you don't want anyone there, don't rescue the ppl in concord. Or if you really want to be a minuteman, reassign them to different places when you are able. I usually keep red rocket free of people for my own person use.
