Hiya! So I just started using SS and I’m having some trouble. I was trying to use it and codsworth was bugging out so I couldn’t get access to sanctuary. And then I finally got through that and Preston wouldn’t talk to me after I brought them back from concord. Most of the plots that I just place, besides a couple, are getting stuck in the construction phase. The plaque on the stuck ones just say (Design:) and all the Addons don’t always show up on the choose building plan menu. I’ve started a new game six different times. The last time I deleted my data and reserved data started the game up without any mods downloaded and went through the missions. then I downloaded the mods I’m using a couple at a time, going into the game letting things load a few minutes then repeating the process. I'm using a few adding and a cheat mod. I’ll have them listed below. I’m on Xbox 1. Someone please help. I find SS intriguing and wanna continue to use it but I can’t get it to work.

Mods:
Cheat terminal(Xbox One)
Sim settlements 3in1
Wasteland venturers 1&2
home improvement
RS buildings
Mega pack year 3
Ideks logistics station
 
well as i said, the mods DO work on Xbox. what i'm trying to do here is guide you using what i do on PC - but its obviously so much more tricky as i dont have an xbox to do this on.
but - basic troubleshooting - always revert back to a vanilla state and make sure that works. thats your foundation. if that's solid, you can build on that.
good luck.
 
I will try it out on my Xbox. Need to start a new game etc and download SS.
I have no DLC content on my X box, is this a problem?
I will just use base game and SS 3 in one and see what happens during the start phase. Intro - go to vault etc, get out of vault - go see Codworth!
 
I play on xbox and use all those mods you've listed(although haven't played since last update). Load order could be a problem. Should be-
Sim settlements 3in1
Ideks logistics
Mega packs
Rs buildings
Home improvement
Cheat terminal
That's about the only thing I can see that could cause the issue. I would also try using unofficial fallout 4 patch, that seems to fix quite a few problems in game. Hope this helps
 
I did the base game with SS 3-in-1, Raze my settlement, some ammo maker mod and nothing else, as everything else I wanted requires DLC's. I have no DLC's on Xbox. (Cant even use my own mod!)
Everything worked OK.
Exit vault, got bored to death by Preston and co, went back to Sanctuary. Placed some plots and a generator - no issues.
Residential plot built ok, Recreational plot same. Switched out the Industrial plot a few times between normal and advanced. All ok.

Edit: Getting the DLC's to see if anything else effects the game. (Also helps me test other things on Xbox, so its a win win)

Where do the wasteland venturers 1&2 go in that order
 
So I went through the game with the mods installed and got to the point that I could work with the mods. However, the first couple of plots worked sort of, but after that auto assign refused to work at all and then on top of that, the plots wouldn’t pick a design, the plague would just show (design). And then one of the residential plot plague showed a corn crop design. The plots were getting stuck in the construction phase. I tried refreshing the plot several times and plus destroyed the broken ones and tried to replace them, but they just repeated everything. Eventually, none of the plots I placed of any kind wouldn’t work and I had to assign settlers manually and then it would just get stuck in the construction bizz. So yeah. Guess I’m out of luck...
 
so the mods installed correctly, and you could build plots. that means you've installed the mods successfully, which solves one issue.

next up;
do you have the option 'realistic build times' enabled? that will build plots slowly over time.
if you have realistic build times set then it won't build in seconds. so check that setting via your pipboy or on a terminal.

it sounds to me, from what you've described, as the plots are created and will build over time, if you leave them alone.

if you start to refresh/destroy/create them, all you're doing is creating a problem for yourself, and as you're on an xbox which isn't even a potato - its more a potato chip, this is really going to kill whatever performance you can get.

i would really just set the plots to build and leave them be.

again, i have to emphasize, this mod works on xbox - the data is irrefutable. however it does depend on the interactions of the person with the controller.
 
Agree with @1ae0bfb8, I have just completed a minimal install on Xbox, with the mods you listed. Everything works fine so far. Placed plots down, Marcy and co then assigned them selves to the plots and away it went. I have 6 residential, 2 agri, 1 rec and 1 industrial. I have not touched the build time setting, so what ever the default is, (appears to be NOT realistic), works ok. 3 plots now upgrading as I type.

I did get the GOTY edition in order to get the DLC's at a better price! Don't really see why that would make a difference, but who knows?
 
Yup realistic build times will slow down xbox pretty bad. I've also had a occasional glitch where a plot would get stuck on building stage and cause script backup which caused the plots to be stuck. Any plot you happen to see where building scaffold disappears and reappears over and over, go to asam sensor and manually select a building plan. That stops the glitch and will fix the script backup. I've had to do it a few times. Just something else to look for.
