Bethesda Mods
Note: The mod weighs in at just over 400MB MB and XBox users are limited to a total of 2 GB of installed mods. A lite version of Sim Settlements is also available on Xbox, the goal is to keep that version significantly smaller. The lite version is identical to the main, only the custom sounds are removed and building stages during upgrades are removed.

- Search for Sim Settlements, then press A and select Download.

Troubleshooting
Missing mod files when using NMM
Sometimes, depending on your local configuration and/or version of Nexus Mod Manager, you may run into an issue where activating a large mod (like Sim Settlements) does not extract the .ba2 files correctly. Running Nexus Mod Manager as an Administrator seems to work around the problem. Here are some potential solutions to the problem:
- Ensure your Virtual Install folder is on the same drive letter as your Fallout 4 installation.
- Ensure your Nexus Mod Manager is updated to the latest version.
- Downgrade to version 0.61.21 which does not use virtual folders.
- Continue to run Nexus Mod Manager as an Administrator (not recommended).
