Holotape Reports
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 measure of progress toward satisfying your settlement's current need for food, water, defense, power, homes, jobs, and happiness.
With the "Citizen Needs Requirements" difficulty option turned on, plots will not upgrade unless citizen needs are at least minimally satisfied, and so you can use this report check on that progress and plan further 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, plots cannot upgrade beyond level 1 without power.
Home Plots: Commercial plots require a minimum number of vanilla beds or Residential plots of a higher level to upgrade.
Job Plots: Residential plots require at least 50% employment rate to upgrade to level 2 and 75% to upgrade to level 3.
Happiness: All plots require at least 70% happiness to upgrade to level 2 and 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.
