Question No Features Working

Whenever I try to use the mod almost none of the features are working.
The only feature that is working (when I toggle it in the mcm) is the time freezing.
I do have about 200 active mods so it's almost definitely an incompatibility, but I just have no idea what mod it could be. I assume it might be another workshop mod, but I've got no clue.
Also, the Blueprint stuff and layer handle stuff does appear in the workshop menu.

I'd put my full load order here but it's really long so here's all the workshop mods I've got enabled.

- Workshop Synth Production
- Stationary Scavengers
- Stackable Brick Walls and Foundation
- Spring Cleaning
- Shaikujin's Better warning for settlements being attacked
- Settlement Object Expansion
- School Desk - Child Settler Work Station
- Salvage Beacons
- Place Everywhere
- Housekeeping
- Immersive Teleportation
- Homemaker
- Grounded
- Upwards Conveyor Belth
- Thematic and Practical
- Placeable Corpses
- Manufacturing Extended
- Just Debris
- Do It Yourshelf
- CREAtive Clutter
- Better Junk Fences

Any and all help is very appreciated!
 
Please attach your loadorder.txt and plugins.txt files. That way someone with the experience may be able to help better.

I don’t know and probably unnecessary, still......

sorry to be potentially going against the grain here but I’m curious about a few things. First you say most features aren't working. Would you mind telling me what features you mention?

Also going down to the very basic, have you gotten the holotape that starts the whole Sim Settlements system? Don’t want to say too much in case you consider it spoiler but it’s not just something that is added to your workshop menu from the get go.

And last is really more of a curiosity for me: what do you plan to use Sim Settlements for? I’m asking this because from what I see you have a lot of add-ons and mods that seem intended to add stuff to help you build your settlements by yourself and you are using this on top of a mod (sim Settlements) that kinda removes the need to build everything yourself. Combining this with your language (“I assume it might be another workshop mod”) leads me to wonder if you think Sim Settlements is just adding stuff to the workshop like a lot of the list you mentioned. If that’s your impression you misunderstand what this mod does, you might be very disappointed to realize what little items it will add to your workshop and you might be missing a lot of the cool things this mod does.

Maybe I’m wrong and you’re fully aware of how this mod work in which case disregard the last paragraph.
 
The only features that I've confirmed to be working is the time freezing in workshop mode (not the hotkey version just the one that you toggle on and off)

I have gotten the holotape and initiated sim settlements (automated mode) and sim settlements is working perfectly fine

The reason I've got all those other building mods is because there are some settlements that I enjoy building mostly by myself (primarily tiny ones like hangmans alley), but for more open settlements like sanctuary the exterior plots are great.
 
Fair enough regarding wanting to build some settlements manually. I get it. I don’t want to play that way but I understand the reasoning completely.

As for the features, I really won’t be able to help you there. This is way out of my depth. On Xbox, if there is such a thing as time freeze, I haven’t seen it yet. So odds are any other feature you mention are PC features I might not even know existed so I’ll let the experts help there.
 
Hi @Yutiradon :bye

First try this, many folks say they have fewer problems with

Workshopframework above SimSettlement

Next, you have a lot of mods. Many I question "too many." Are you using vortex with "auto-sort enabled" or Loot? If not at least Run Loot at least once before starting your next game.
Also see: Gambit77 posted loadorder on most of his mod pages as he has a loadorder that reflects many of your mods and how he has them positioned. :declare

Lastly, if things still are not working then you will have to disable mods to test functionality. Too many will already be baked into your save file so I am not sure that even then you would get an accurate read on what is causing your problems.

If you truly want to get to the bottom of it you might have to start a new game and with a minimal # of mods and slowly start to rebuild it.

Below is a cheat-sheet to help you organize your troubleshooting.

Lastly, if you are using vortex then please watch this as you really need to set-up some groups:
