Question Settlements Not Built Up Despite Being Set To Do So

I'm pretty sure I said that settlements should start at level one at the very beginning of my new game, yet none of the settlements have built themselves up.
 
4.0.9 just released today, might want to give that a try
 
I should say I'm currently running 4.0.7a because of 4.0.8 having that crash problem.
Are you using HUDFramework? If so, did the meter claim it had finished?

Also, do you have 3-in-1 or at least Rise of the Commonwealth installed? By default, SS and Conqueror come with no City Plans, so if you aren't using 3-in-1 or RotC than you'll need City Plans from a community pack.
 
Sorry to jump on this thread but I might be either 1) having the same issue or 2) being way too impatient.

I started a new game with Conqueror, waited in the vault until Stage 4 had completed, left and Sanctuary and Red Rocket were unchanged. My previous playthrough was using SS and Leaders to auto build and upgrade settlements etc and never had an issue, so presume my regular mods shouldn't conflict with Conqueror. However, to play it safe, I've started another new game with the only mods being UF4P, AWKCR, SS 3-in-1, Workshop Framework, Conqueror, all City Plan Contests (are they all needed??), HUDFramework and SKK Fast Start. This time I'm currently standing outside the vault watching over Sanctuary. Halfway through Stage 1 and not yet seeing any changes.

How soon are changes 'visible'? I might have been too quick to assume changes would occur as with regular SS i.e. new plots visible, foundations/walls being laid etc. Will changes only be visible after Stage 4 is complete AND a specific in-game time passed? I'm not sure I want to be waiting 3/4 hours for the process to complete each time to see if it's worked or not. I mean, settlements being pre-built before leaving the vault is a big attraction for me. How will I know it's working?

PS: I was looking to follow the Raider play-through so didn't go to Concord to find the mission start. I was actually hoping for settlements to be fully built, then fire up Fallout 4-76.
 
There is a message telling you when it's done. The foundation level
should be there already but plots themselves will construct the first time you arrive there since the cells they are in have to be loaded.

This time I'm currently standing outside the vault watching over Sanctuary. Halfway through Stage 1 and not yet seeing any changes.
Assuming default settings, Sanctuary Hills and some other locations are excluded from the prebuild. This is for reasons related to possible issues you can hit due to quests in the location, Triangle Of Death(More info about that linked here: https://simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/understanding-ctds-in-the-triangle-of-death-sanctuary-abernathy-farm-and-red-rocket.6964/), etc.

Try going to Abernathy or Starlight Drive In to see if it's built up there.
 
This may sound silly but...

City leveling requiring a leader is on by default. It has to be off for the settlements you have not explored to level right?
