−
:'''Kinggath:''' ''"It's actually an issue with the way Bethesda laid out the settlements. They are flagged as only being part of certain game cells, so when Sim Settlements asks if the player is still in the settlement, the game will often report incorrectly. I might be able to fix it by changing the method I use to check if the player is in the workshop - but the issue is only in a few small areas, so I'll probably let it go for the time being. It would be one of those things that takes a lot of man hours for just a small benefit - not that I won't do it in the long term, I just want to get these expansions built first.''

−
 
−
:'''Kinggath:''' ''"It is very important to note that turning off dynamic needs will effect, reduce, or eliminate the many positive benefits your factories, farms, stores, and any other job buildings provide to your settlers. The new plot types and building plans introduced in the “Industrial Revolution” expansion pack will be especially affected by turning off dynamic needs as there are a lot of benefits and new positive modifiers for your settlements built in that require dynamic needs to be ON (in order to be activated or for your settlers to take advantage of/benefit from).''

Problematic Mods

Horizon

This mod moves stuff around in the Workshop menu. Use of Horizon could cause Sim Settlements Craftable items to no longer be in the Chemistry Station bench. As a workaround, the Sim Settlements Craftable items can still be crafted in the City Planner's bench (located in the Sim Settlements Workshop Menu, under Furniture).

Conquest

Kinggath: "Conquest uses it's own workshop management scripts, so the plots won't work well (if at all) with it. Chesko, the mod author of Conquest, has moved on from modding Fallout 4 (when I asked, he said there were too many limitations and had to quit working on it) - so I doubt we'll ever have full compatibility between the two."

FAQs

Why are excess settlement resources not shared between settlements for plot upgrade purposes?

Kinggath: "That's in my long term plans. The system Bethesda uses for sharing resources for happiness is really awkward - it literally moves pieces of food and water out of the workbenches to hit the daily needs, which won't work for Sim Settlement's calculations, so I have to come up with a good means of handling it that won't be a script hog."

REFERENCE: DON'T ADD TO POST
Wiki Team Thread: https://www.simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/moved-from-inbox-settlements-wont-support-each-other-with-extra-water-food.1506/

Are different and/or larger Plot sizes being considered?

  • Kinggath: "I will definitely add the plot models and support for larger plots, so that you guys doing add-ons can make use of them. I have no timeline though.
One of my concerns is that adding too many plot sizes at once will be confusing and of limited use to the players. For example, let's say I added 4 new plot sizes (3x3, 3x2, 4x4, 4x3), there are currently 7 plot types, so that's 28 new options. More than likely, we'd end up with one or two people adding content to each, so then we end up with situations where a plot type has only a single building plan ever available for it - which as a player, I'd be pretty unhappy about.
Doing the slow roll-out ensures we're all providing content for the same plot sizes so that player's have access to a reasonable amount of content for each.
The 2x2 variation of the Martial plot was my first test run in offering a plot size that I had no content for, and so far, it's getting minimal attention - so I'm being very cautious about a wide rollout of new plot sizes."

Why is the Wasteland Lounger Plot completely walled in with no entrance?

Kinggath: "That's just supposed to be a fun VIP and kind of pokes fun at the teleporting AI. If you fast-travel [into] the settlement at night, they will be asleep in the bed."

Common Issues/Solutions

Common Problems

Known Issues / Unsolved

Pipboy Settlement Data Screen Shows Incorrect Information

Issue: When looking at the Settlement Data screen on the Pipboy, the information displayed is incorrect.
Kinggath: "The pipboy data is a vanilla issue. I've investigated a solution, but it's pretty much going to require redesigning the pipboy flash files and the workshop scripts - which I'm trying to avoid with Sim Settlements (I want to keep compatibility up by not editing vanilla records/scripts in the mod)."

REFERENCE: DON'T ADD TO POST
Wiki Team Thread: https://www.simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/pipboy-settlement-data-page-shows-incorrect-numbers.1573/

Plot Not Completing building

Issue: Plots stop construction before completion. Usually stops or freezes at the scaffolding stage of construction.
Kinggath: "Occasionally the game will fail to start the timer correctly. Once the scaffolding appears, a building should take less than a minute to build (unless you have Realistic Build Times on). So if you run into this, try using the Refresh Plot option on the sensor menu to see if it builds. If it continues to not build, you may want to scrap it and try building it again.
If even that doesn't work, please report it here Bug Reports so we can try and find out what is conflicting."

Wiki Team Thread: https://www.simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/plot-not-finishing-building-after-scaffolding-appears.1574/

Refresh Local Plots Option Stops Before Completion

Issue: After starting the Refresh Local Plots tool, the refreshing messages stop, but you get a warning not to leave until completion.
Kinggath: "While the Refresh Local Plots option warns you not to leave, if it appears to get stuck, you should ignore the warning and leave anyway. Getting the cell to unload (by traveling a good distance away from it), should cause the refresh to continue. Once the refresh messages resume, return to the settlement.
You may have scaling or rotation issues on any plots that refreshed during the brief period you were away. Simply run the Refresh Plot option on the sensor menu for those and it should clear them up."

(Xbox) Old Plot Structures Reappear In New Plot at Same Location

Issue: After scrapping a plot and building a new plot in the same location, The old plot appears inside the new plot and cannot be demolished.
Kinggath: "This is an unfortunate common issue on Xbox, the scripts will fall behind and start building two structures at once. First try using the Refresh Plot option on the ASAM Sensor menu - that might resolve it completely.
If not, I put out a mod called Sim Settlement Helper, install that - you'll then be able to scrap all of the stuff on top of the plot. After you've scrapped everything but the plot itself, refresh the plot via the sensor again, :and the correct stuff should appear."
To use Sim Settlement Helper:
1. Download and Install Sim Settlement Helper mod. Nexus: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23209/?, Xbox: https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/4012831
2. Scrap any floating clutter that has not been removed.

Floating Clutter After Scrapping/Moving/Storing Plot

Issue: Items of clutter floating in the location a plot used to be after scrapping, moving, or storing the plot.
Kinggath: "It can sometimes just take a long time to clean up if your save file scripts are getting backed up. Otherwise, you can download the mod Sim Settlement Helper, which will make everything the mod creates scrapable."
To use Sim Settlement Helper:
1. Download and Install Sim Settlement Helper mod. Nexus: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23209/?, Xbox: https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/4012831

Settlers Will Not Use Upper Floors of Buildings

Issue: Settlers are not going to upper floors of buildings or Plots built on multi story scaffolding.
Vanilla Game Bug: Unfortunately, this is a problem with the game's AI. There is currently no fix to this behavior.
Kinggath: "spent many hours during early dev and couldn't reliably get them to use the upper floors"

Child Settlers Cannot Be Assigned Or Don't Do Anything In The Plot

Issue: Child settlers are not able to be assigned to a plot, or don't do any animations when assigned.
Kinggath: "Child settlers can now own Residential and Agricultural plots. Due to lack of animations available to the child settlers, they may never actually animate to the plot or use the objects on them. Additional plot types may be made available to them in the future if I find someone to provide more animation support for them (send me your animator friends!)."

(Vanilla Game Bug) Clumping Settlers When Arriving in Settlement

Issue: Upon arriving in the Settlement through teleporting or fast travel, all the settlers are clumped up together in a group.
Kinggath: "Bethesda did something pretty smart with the engine and disconnected the scripting engine from the frame rate. This ensures the gunplay is nice and smooth, but at the cost of leaving the AI often looking very stupid. When you first fast travel to a settlement, all of the settlers are dumped to a central point in the settlement and then told by a script to re-check their AI packages. When your scripts get backed up, that re-check doesn't happen quickly (or sometimes at all), and you end up with that [All of the settlers clumped up together]. . . "

Wasteland Lounger Plot Keeps Showing Up for VIP's

Issue: VIP settlers keep selecting the Wasteland Lounger for the Residential plot
Kinggath: "This was mostly an accident - I developed the VIPs before I finished the rest of the mod and needed a house to work from. It wasn't until I designed the other houses that I realized I had build most of the VIPs so specific to the Wasteland Lounger model, that transferring them over to work in the other models as well was going to be a huge project - and in the end decided it wasn't worth the extra time I could spend making other things. I might go back and rebuild some of them to work in other models."

(Vanilla Game Bug) Stored Sim Settlement Plots in Special Menu not Sim Settlements Menu

Issue: When a plot is stored, the stored plot shows up in the Workshop's Special menu instead of the Sim Settlements menu.
Kinggath: ". . . the engine isn't very smart about having multiple construction records for the same object. So it's not likely something I can fix. From my testing, those extra entries in the workshop menu go away after you place all of the stored plots and then open the workshop again."
