Suggestions for mods on Xbox that add workshop building items but don't burn thru the build limit.

TLDR: good mods for building on a budget (both settlement-wise and xbox-space-wise)

I've played Conqueror long enough to realize something has been amiss in my previous plays for a very long time.

When I saw the city plan for Starlight level 1, the first thing I thought was holy hell, how is all this not pushing the build limit. My selfbuilt Starlight has just as many plots, but none of the frills, and it's constantly up against the build limit. I usually build two two storey bunkhouses. The other stuff I build is a lot of concrete foundations provided by a mod.

By level twenty or so I have to be careful entering any 15 plot settlement. But, I was able to run around this fancy starlight prebuilt without a care in the world. Had twenty raiders with me and all the settlers where trying to kill me. No crashes or stutters. (Except when I used the town gavel in the middle of the fight to summon all the settlers to me and then tried to vats melee. That was dicey. But just that.) Add to this almost every other settlement in the Commonwealth has some degree of structures building or built as well.

I've decided I've been fighting for over a year not so much a mod conflict as a mod that is working as intended, but is also borking my game.

I reinstalled the game and wiped all my mods before starting Conqueror. Since I'm planning on slowly reinstalling the mods I think I need, this most recent play I decided to only build with items provided by the game itself. I started building my favorite layout at Sunshine. Only vanilla foundations and warehouse walls and roofs. When I was done, I had barely used up any of the build limit. With what I was using before I would have been at a third to half full. Again I'm talking about mainly just foundations and walk ways.

I don't want to say what building mod I had been using up to now. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I really liked most everything about it. Stuff in it looks great. And have been using it since I started playing with a modded FO4. (This is an Isn't you, It's me Breakup) But it is eventually and gradually overloading my game, or I'm just imagining it is. I'm never really sure tbh.

Too many polygons? Is that the term? I'm talking above my pay grade and out both sides my neck now. But I think me and my xbox want fewer not more.

I'm going to carry on with just the vanilla stuff for awhile to reestablish my own baseline, but I was eyeing G2M in the candy store, last night.

If you made it this far, thanks in advance.
