How to increase maximum population?

[Welka]

Hi,

my Sanctuary settlement seems to be stuck at 26 settlers and I cannot get any more. Is that the maximum per settlement or can we get more? I made sure the Charsima level of my character isn't taken into account in the settings and I still cannot send more settlers from other settlements to Sanctuary?

I am answering but...... IMHO, I think you are fine at 26 in Sanctuary. You can also sometimes temporally increase it if you take some charisma altering drugs. Also, there are button mods now that let you add settlers. I am just not sure why you want more? Sometimes getting too many settlers can make your game kind of not work right, or act "janky".

A humble suggestion, think about this before you do it.

Also, see:

"Changing the Settlement Population Limit
Finally, the workshop population max is a game setting. Why people are increasing their Charisma to ungodly levels to change the population limit is beyond me. console command type ~

setgs iWorkshopSettlerPopulationMax 999" If I remember the 999 can be anything. Let's say 50.
You can create a simple game settings plugin to make this change permanent.

I wish you the best of luck. Please, it's like running with a knife. It's at your own risk. Make a save you can go back too if you do any of this.

Ha - this experiment was great. I'd say about 40 is as high as you can safely get on most computers."

I found out what whent wrong. I transfered some settlers from Sunshine Tidings but I'm set up not to recruit more if 2 settlers are unemployed. So after I had transfered 2, the mod wouldn't let me transfer more.
I did read that the mod had no limit on the numbers of settlers somewhere so it confused me a little.

Lesson: don't hope to transfer millions of settlers when you can't have more if 2 are unemployed
