Graphical glitch when I look at level 3 plots

Messages

I’ve built up quite a few of the Industrial City plots to level 3, some of them are fine but most of them cause the screen to go nuts when I look at them, particularly if they are close to each other.

The Toy Factory and Ammo plant are fine and pretty much all internal plots are fine but pretty much everything else causes this glitch. There is no impact on gameplay and everything’s fine if I look/move away but is there any way to fix it?

I’m using a pretty high end system with an i7 and a 1080ti
 
I've got a middle of the road i5 with 8gb RAM and a GTX960 with 4gb ram, running the game on Ultra. I started my most recent game before the release of the optimized settlements. While it may get a bit choppy at times as I approach the settlements, I've never seen anything like that in my game.

I would first suggest looking to see if you're running the most recent drivers. You might also try opening up your system and blow any dust out of it. There's a chance dust may be clogging the fins on the card's heat sink casing it to overheat.

Depending on your technical ability, you might also try pulling and reseating the video card. If you have a old video card lying around, try throwing that in and see if the problem persists. If the problem goes away, there's a good chance your video card is starting to go.
 
Thanks for the tips but everything’s pretty much brand new and fully up to date. It’s definitely an issue with this add-on as everything else works perfectly. It’s just when I look at these specific plots.
 
It looks like a specific scol is redrawing over and over for some reason, in both cases it looks like the high-def scol (I split my clutter into 3 scols, so you can toggle parts on/off as needed using the SS holotape settings). Can anyone else reproduce? This is probably elusive enough i won't be able to do much, but it'd be good to know if it's common/reproducible at least

No, I use these plots a lot and it has never happened.
They have 50 settlers and everything on ultra, even without this glitch walking around that settlement must be like a slide-show.

I have experienced this while testing the Year Two mega-pack, the RotC city plan for Vault 88 causes this when looking towards the central water fountain. That plan is massive, so I'm guessing it's caused by not being able to render everything there fast enough.

that's my suspicion, a lot of folks assume massive/beefy box will mean limitless rendering power, but the FO4 engine has limits frankly, no matter how powerful your rig is.
 
Thanks for looking into this Mytigio, it’s been a while since I’ve played but I’ve used nearly all your plots in my Sanctuary build and it seems to be isolated to just the robot factory and the steel, aluminium and ceramic exterior plots.

The latter three I actually moved to the other side of the settlement and that seemed to fix it so hopefully it is just a one off. My Sanctuary build is massive now so maybe I am pushing it a bit too far.

Amazing work by the way, yours is still my favourite add-on :D
