Hello,

I restarted a new game to redo the settlements. I also removed some non-SS mods to reduce my load.
First thing, asam holotape and and sensors were missing from concorde museum. I thought minor bug-np. I looked online for console commands and added holotape and sensors.
Back in Sanctuary, I realized SS were missing from workshop menu.
In addition, HUD overlay wasnt working anymore.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
For the missing holotape/sensors in the museum, it's possible you are using a bugged version of the latest update, see here for more info.

As far as the HUD Overlay, you may need to either check your SS settings or try messing with the HUD Framework's load order. As well, for your missing SS menu, do you have Settlement Menu Manager installed and enabled? As that gives SS its own menu, if not, then all SS items will be located under the Special category.

I updated SS to v2.1.1 on 9/16...is there a newer version? Yes, I have settlement menu manager installed. Everything was working fine on my 1st SS playthrough. Regardless, I'll check the SS menu. Thanks.
 
For the HUD a couple other things to check:
A. Is your crosshair or compass turned off/Hidden? https://simsettlements.com/web/wiki...#HUD_Meters_Disappear_If_Crosshair_Turned_Off

B. Is the HUD overlay info only missing in certain areas of the settlement, but works in others? https://simsettlements.com/web/wiki...Randomly_Disappears_Inside_Settlement_Borders
A. I didn't make any changes to the crosshairs but I'll check. B. I haven't checked the HUD in any other settlements since Sanctuary is my only settlement right now. I'll try to check once I get another settlement. Thanks.

2.1.1a is the latest version.

The B problem would exist inside in the same settlement. essentially small sections of a settlement where the HUD overlay disappears, then reappears if you walk a small distance away.

Edit add example: The HUD overlay disappears near the swingset in Sanctuary, but is visible in the rest of Sanctuary.

Gotcha. I'll check but I'm hoping everything goes back to normal once I update to 2.1.1a. Thanks.

I ran around Sanctuary in workshop mode. No HUD anywhere at all. Suggestions?
 
I figured it out. User error. Forgot you have to intialize the SS setup when you first start. My bad.

Thanks Kana and L2K for your help!
 
Heh, no problem, that's what my role on here is.
 
Hello,

Just started new game. Also did major mod overhaul. Reduced number of mods and reinstalled them all.

This time I made sure I started city manager was activated. Also reinstalled SS. Currently using 3.1.1 and the expansions too.
I noticed the city manager holotape is not in the 'settings holotapes' sub-list in the pipboy inv/misc list.
It's there in the misc list, just not under the sub-list. Previously, it was there.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

You first need to get the tape , did you get it? ... I believe there are 3 locations where you can find the holotape and some ASAM next to it, but the closest you can find just after you get off the vault 111 is in Concord right after Red Rocket Truck Stop, you can find it in the building where Preston is.

Here's kingath video regarding the tapes locations.

Hi, I got the tape and sensors. Also, I tried using the 'settlement menu rescue' function in the settlement menu manager holotape. It did not fix the problem.
