Fixed Floating Flags at Red Rocket

[Dracony]

The base level city at the Red Rocket truck stop settlement has flags just floating in the air in my game. And no, refreshing the city doesn't fix it sadly.

 

[sTaRduZZt]

Yeah. I got the same issue.
Maybe this is intended for when the settlement upgrades to level 2 or 3?
That is my guess at least.

 

[Dracony]

Yeah, I think so too. The base level just seems like an oversight. I'd check if it fixes at another level, but I've gotta wait a while for it to upgrade first.

nah, has more to do with leftovers that didn't fully scrap in the settlement leveling phase of design.

They're not game impacting so just ignore them, they should disappear in a future patch. It'll be in the patch notes when they do so you'll know to refresh.

 

[Dracony]

I don't understand how they failed to be scrapped by the mod, if they weren't there in the first place. The settlement was completely blank, the flags were created by the mod when it built the base level.

 

[tankthing]

it's not the current engine you see, I meant the actual design phase. There was a problem with the export where scrapped and plot pieces got accidentally baked into the plans.

 

[Dracony]

Ah, right. That makes sense.

UPDATE: After updating Sim Settlements to 3.1.2, and doing a City Refresh at Red Rocket, I still have floating flags in the air.

Can you try it again and watch the flags to see if they ever disappear during the tear down phase? Curious if they are being re-created for you still, or if they are just never being removed.

They do dissapear, but then get re-created.

EDIT: However, I just went to record a video to show it happening, but when reloading the game the flags are now gone. So maybe it was just an engine issue, rather than something wrong with Sim Settlements?

I think my settlement is bugged anyway, when upgrading it from level 1 to level 2 it said Piper was no longer interested in leading the settlement. Because she was moved to Diamond City by the game for the

Mayor McDonough is a synth quest.

The City Planner's Desk still says she's leading it though.

Can you try doing a manual install to overwrite the files for Sim Settlements? It's possible that NMM failed to overwrite the previous files correctly, which is pretty common.

Just tried with a fresh game, all other mods disabled and latest version of SS. Those pesky flags are still there unfortunately. Edit: Also the ROTC was a brand new install, just coming back to SS after a while and tried the new expansion.

@Ghost_Stars Can you try a manual install? I just tested it myself and the flags aren't there. I'll double-check the archive in the meantime and make sure I didn't upload the wrong files.

 

[Ghost_Stars]

Doing a manual install removed the floating flags, but also removed the elements on the roof (the city planner, the wall section and the bed). Doing a tear down of the settlement was leaving the flags there, however i had a previous save so the flags are gone now.

 

[kinggath]

We relocated the desk and the bed to a different spot. They are in that little structure with the bunks.

 

[Ghost_Stars]

Yeah i just received an update on youtube about the latest patch. I didn't realised a new patch was out, sorry about that.
