Revision as of 01:30, 23 September 2018

Sim Settlements introduces new utilities to help monitor, manage, and plan your settlements. Included among these are the Citizen Needs Report, Happiness Report, and Local Plot Report.

The reports can only be run from within settlement boundaries. In addition, the Local Plot Report cannot be run from the pip-boy, but only from a terminal with a copy of the City Manager 2078 Holotape loaded, such as the terminal on a City Planner's Desk.

Citizen Needs Report

The Citizen Needs Report displays a percentage progress toward satisfying your settlement's current demands for food, water, defense, power, homes, jobs, and happiness.

With the "Citizen Needs Requirements" difficulty option turned on, plots will not upgrade unless settlers' wants and needs are at least minimally satisfied, and you can use this report check on that progress and help plan development.

Food: Must be at 100% for Residential plots to upgrade.
Water: Must be at 100% for Residential or Agricultural plots to upgrade.
Defense: Must be at 100% for Residential, Agricultural, or Commercial plots to upgrade.

Powered Plots: With the exception of Agricultural, plots must have power to be eligible to upgrade beyond level 1.
Home Plots: A minimum number of vanilla beds or Residential plots of a higher level are required for Commercial plots to upgrade.
Job Plots: Must be at least 50% for Residential plots to upgrade to level 2, and at least 75% to upgrade to level 3.

Happiness: With the exception of Recreational, must be at least 70% for any plot upgrade to level 2, and at least 80% to upgrade to level 3.

For a more detailed breakdown of the exact upgrade requirements for each plot type, please see the Breakdown.

With Rise of the Commonwealth, or a third-party city plan, installed, Citizen Needs are also taken into account when upgrading city plans. For more information see the Holotape Gameplay Options City Building.

If you have HUDFramework installed, then all the information contained in the Citizen Needs Report is also displayed in the Sim Settlements HUD, but without precise numerical values.

Happiness Report

Must be within a settlements boundaries to run.

Local Plot Report

Must be within a settlements boundaries to run. Can only be run from connected terminal or City Planner Desk computer (not Pip-Boy*)

The Local Plots report shows how many plots broken down by type, selecting any of the types will give you detailed information about levels, assignment, and total resources generated for that plot type.

*Due to a game engine limitation, the Local Plots report is only accessible via terminal, you can either use the City Planner’s Desk which has a terminal with a built in copy of the holotape or else load the holotape into any terminal in your settlement.
