    Fallout 4 "Survival Lite"

    Awesome that looks perfect, thanks!

    Different 'quest' settlement

    I can't imagine not having 1x1 plots. Even in Sanctuary, where I'll just have the Concord group, you need those for some interior rooms. But with careful placement I can usually get the 1x2 interior plots to fit nicely in the old houses :) I always try to incorporate the existing...

    Different 'quest' settlement

    Interesting, any challenging ie tiny ones like Coastal Cottage, Hangman's Alley?

    Fallout 4 "Survival Lite"

    Posting this here instead of in an SS forum, as it's not related to SS. I'm planning a new playthrough of Fallout 4, and I've always wanted to try a sort of 'survival'. But without the damage modifiers, I'm not interested in getting randomly headshot to death in late game, just the mechanics...

    Different 'quest' settlement

    Awesome thanks! I'll do that then, head straight to Olivia, then to visit Blake, then build the beacon. I know Jake will take me back to Olivia later, but I would still rather unlock Abernathy the proper way instead of using any cheats (like the one in workshop framework) to just unlock it.

    Different 'quest' settlement

    Hi all, I haven't played Fallout 4 in a few years, but I'm setting up a playthrough again now. I can't imagine playing without Sim Settlements, so it's already loaded and run a quick test save to make sure it works. I recall from before there was an option in the Sim Settlements config to...

    mod recommendations

    And in terms of quest mods, I really like the 'thuggysmurf' quest mods: Project Valkyrie, Fusion City Rising, Outcasts and Remnants. I skip Depravity, it just doesn't mesh with my intended playstyle very well, and I've had issues with Diamond City expansion as well in the past, so I skip that...

    mod recommendations

    I actually tried Unique NPC's recently, seeing that it had done a performance update. However, as soon as I got near to downtown Boston, I started experiencing random CTD's. There's so, so, SO many random raiders/NPC's in Boston that will all load into the 5x5 cell grid that it can cause...

    How can I use Yagisan's Home Plate Mod with the SlocumJoe's add on?

    Simple question, but have you completed the Slocum's Joe Creation Club quest? That's needed to unlock all the building options in settlements, which the plan uses. It is a beautiful plan for Home Plate, I actually went out and made my first creation club purchase just to try it out and I'm not...

    Companion, companions

    I didn't even know there was a terminal hacking part to Heather...sheesh! Such an in-depth companion mod, no wonder it's so popular :)

    Caravan plots not connecting south of Oberland Station

    I had this issue with Nordhagen Beach in a previous save. Even though I had both Finch Farm and County Crossing, both of which are quite close, every time I returned to Nordhagen, it was no longer part of the caravan network. If I rebuilt the plot, or changed it to a different caravan building...

    Covenant question: How to make Jacob Orden and rest of named settlers assignable?

    In my now-aborted previous save, I was able to get them working using the commands that gavman mentioned in his covenant city plan: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/54670 However, the unnamed settlers that are part of Covenant still did not work after using these commands on them. I had...

    Not the dreaded long save again, I hope!

    Thanks, I've been meaning to get around to installing Buffout, but it did seem a wee bit confusing, with a lot of other requirements too!

    Beta Testers Wanted!

    Beta testing may be a good way to dip my toes in, but I do have a strong desire to learn modding and contribute to the SS team. I have no experience modding games, but I do have 23 years of software development experience. I did some pretty high-end, full-stack web and also desktop/server coding...

    Companion, companions

    Piper is precious, but for me, it's always Cait. I always put her in the "Toxic Raider Blackout" outfit and armour, one of the best looking armour/clothing mods out there and it suits her perfectly. For Piper, I use the "Friffy Piper Outfit" (also known as "Just another Piper Outfit"), as it is...

    Not the dreaded long save again, I hope!

    Ah nevermind. I got a bit further in the game, and then the autosave-freeze is happening again. I have already backstepped a full day in saves to try and fix this, I hope this playthrough isn't lost...it's my 3rd attempt at SS2 so far, getting frustrated with the FO4 engine's constant issues...

    Companion, companions

    Nice. I've never played Conqueror, but hopefully it will get added to SS2 at some point so I can give the Raider lifestyle a go. I'm already planning a "Harley" type character for that, using a baseball bat and blitz to close the distance in VATS :) I've done a sneak-melee character with...

    Companion, companions

    Despite having over 6000 hours in Fallout4, I still have never completed Nuka World...looking forward to doing so this time. Hopefully my save doesn't end up corrupted or something, I think that's why I've never completed it (I have visited though, and gotten as far as clearing the...

    Not the dreaded long save again, I hope!

    Adding some further info, in case someone might be able to help. As I stated above, I skipped Zimonja and pressed on. However, I came upon Greentop Nursery, and their quest was to clear a settlement I already had (Sunshine), so they just immediately let me use their workbench. However, once...

    Not the dreaded long save again, I hope!

    Hiya, So I installed Canary, and it doesn't pop up to report anything when I load a save, as I understand, that's how it's supposed to work? Anyhow, I just got back to taking Zimonja again, and as soon as I did, the long save returned. With gusto, after 15 minutes it still hadn't saved, so I...
