Reset All to Defaults

This will reset the global zoning laws to the default options. When you click this you will get a pop-up asking you to confirm the choice so if you clicked it by accident you have an option to cancel.

Visual

These options have little gameplay affect, but you can disable certain visual things you may not like.

ASAM Sensors

The ASAM Sensor shows you if the plot is powered and provides an activation menu for managing the plot and is visible on the plot’s power post by default. The ASAM Sensor can be hidden if you wish, in which case you can still reach the activation menu for managing the plot by pressing Activate on the plot post itself.

Choosing to make a plot Hidden (or Visible again) is not an instant update. You will not see the change until the next time each plot is updated or manually refreshed.

Options: Visible or Hidden
Default: Visible

Cinematic Wide Shots

To give you a great view of the city, Cinematic Mode begins to pull back for a wider view as the level nears completion. This may cause significant FPS drops for some users.

Available Settings:

Options: ON or OFF
Default: ON

What These Settings Mean:

ON: Cinematic Mode will now show you an expanded view of your city.
OFF: Cinematic Mode will maintain a tight circuit throughout the city.

Demolition FX

If you haven't seen it already, whenever you destroy/scrap a Sim Settlements plot or demolish a building/structure that has been (or is being built) on a plot, a little explosion scene/sequence plays out to immersively show the resulting demolition. If you don't like this demolition effect you can turn it off here

Options: ON or OFF
Default: ON

Mailboxes, Etc
