Question no terraforming plots?

I've come back to the game after a long hiatus, and have started from scratch, installing things from Vortex.

I used to use the terraforming plots to cover problems in settlements e.g. you can see part of the landscape has been shifted and see through the ground to water far below.

But they don't seem to be an option. I had a look at the changelog in case they were removed from the mod, but there's no mention I can find of that?


"You can now build Terraformer blocks, these can be found under Sim Settlements > Foundations.
  • Terraformer blocks require materials created by an Excavation Pit. https://www.simsettlements.com/web/wiki/index.php?title=Patch

    Ok, so do I need to build an Excavation Pit for the terraforming plots to appear? I don't see an option for one under Industrial? Had a try at the Advanced Industrial just in case - nope.


    I don't see how to copy all the mod information from Vortex as I used to do from NMM. I'm using 4.2.1. Other things appear to be working correctly, so I don't know if it is a mod conflict, or just a matter of me not doing something correctly in SS.

yes, you need to build an Excavation Pit for the terraforming plots to be buildable?

Looks like you're missing the base advanced industrial plots, so I'm guessing that you might not have the Industrial Revolution add-on installed. If you just have the stand alone Sim Settlement mod, you'll need to either change to the 3 in 1, or add the Industrial Revolution mod https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25213

I can't hit reply directly to the post above as it has a link in it and new accounts are not allowed to include links.

I thought I had it, but because I can't see anything here that definitively proves I downloaded and installed the 3 in one, I thought it best if I uninstall, download Sim Settlements Three-in-One and install, and try again.

This is a slow process.

I can't see anything to skip the Concord run to get sim settlements working fast to test on a new game - is there some console command to spawn the holotape? Nothing seems to be mentioned on the web page for SS?

Ok, it looks like it might now be working. Vortex was losing connections with the error message not telling me which downloads have failed, so maybe i accidentally hit the second option rather than the first. I have no idea.

Hopefully I can get a settler to make some dirt now.

If you are using the latest versions of Workshop Framework and Workshop Plus you can enable the “free build” mode and not have to get the dirt etc that the terraformer blocks require.

I think there is a mod conflict somewhere in any case - clay terraforms, dirt doesn't - but trying to figure out which mod is responsible is too much of a pain, especially as vortex won't let me post the mod list like NMM used to. :P

So I am just sticking to clay. Does the job. Sand works too.

This is an example of what I used to be able to do easily with NMM; I could also group by category etc.

Trying to figure out which mod a plugin name now refers to can be awful. What mod is "EBW-Merged.esp", for example? You can't search by that name on Nexus as far as I know. Unless you use that mod yourself, and recognise the plugin name from usage, you really have little chance of figuring it out.
