Rise Of The Commonwealth

Second Official Expansion Pack for Sim Settlements

Rise of the Commonwealth takes Sim Settlements to new heights by putting you in the role of the leader. Now you can command others to build your settlements while you get back to exploring the wasteland.

Adds the ability to put others in charge of settlements, they will handle the construction, settlers will move in and place their own plots, beds, and other things.

Introduces Interior Plots which can be used inside existing building or snapped into your own structures. Adds a dynamic soundscape that adjusts the ambient and background sound effects in your settlements based on the plots you and your settlers build.

Tons of new gameplay options.

Key Features

Advanced Industrial Plot

New Upgrade Pattern At the start, Advanced Industrial Plots work the same as a basic Industrial plot by "mining" a resource, for example - a Lumber Yard will gather wood.

When the building upgrades, instead of just becoming a more complex structure for harvesting that material, the settler will take that material and process it into something more advanced for example - metal ore could be converted into Steel.

When the building upgrades again, the settler will use that processed resource to provide a product or service. For example - Nuclear Material could be used to create a power plant.

Branching Upgrades and Tech Trees Not only do these buildings follow a new pattern, but they now have variations at each level. In the initial release, every Advanced Industrial building has two possible paths at each level, for a total of 35 possible buildings from this plot. Many of these buildings are linked to each other, the more you build, the more options you unlock.

Resource Stockpiling You can now have a direct influence over how fast these plots upgrade by helping the settler stockpile additional resources, or take away their resources and use them for yourself.

And Much More

Martial Plots and Recreational PlotsThese new plot types provide defense and happiness, respectively, so you can have more direct control over the needs of your settlement without the need for cheat items or turret spamming.

Animation and Sound To help bring a truly industrial feel to your city, Industrial Revolution is loaded with animated machinery, smog-churning buildings, and custom sounds.

Direct Control You can now directly select the types of buildings you want constructed to take full control over how your settlements are developed. Or you can let the settlements continue to grow organically- the choice is yours!

Secrets and Unlocks Many of the buildings in Industrial Revolution have secrets to be discovered and new items to unlock - such as new unique skill magazines and consumables.

Expanded Framework for Addon authors The framework has been greatly expanded, you can now not only create your own buildings for Sim Settlements, but also add new tech trees and custom resource generation. Check out the Builder's Toolkit page!
