Hi all!
I'm currently playing a fairly heavily modded profile of Fallout 4 using Horizon and Sim Settlements in concert with each other. I know very little in the way of how scripts actually work but here's my situation/question.
Settlements
- 6 to 12 based entirely on Sim Settlements plots and resources
- Other Minor settlements built around Horizon farms, outposts etc
- Red Rocket is my Horizon "Main workshop" and has no plots or real settlers
So what happens is, on occasion, settlements will start to lag and fps drops majorly (Usually if I'm building plots or plots are upgrading). Sometimes leaving will help, sometimes not so much. Usually a restart of the game will make everything silky smooth again and all is well.
My question is: Firstly, is this because of scripts running in settlements? Secondly, is there a way to mitigate this at all? And finally, should I be concerned about script limits (Like max that can run at once etc).
EDIT: If there are visual settings in SS that can help, which are best to lower/turn off? (Clutter, lights, visitors etc).
I understand modding has an effect on gameplay and I'm not aiming to be like "Ugh... My game is broken, modding sucks and these mods are lame" as you see in so many places!
I'm more looking for information on how scripts work and what I can do to lessen their impact on performance. (Shorter visits to settlements, spacing out upgrades etc). Are there any tools that help with scripts running simultaneously?
Appreciate your thoughts folks, and like I say, I'm well aware that heavily modded Fallout can be a pain in the butt. I'll take the slight performance hits from time to time in exchange for awesome settlements/gameplay.
