Sim Settlements 2 - Superstructures Addon Pack

The HUD says 4 settlers but what if you use the multi-interior?
It won't change that the plot is for 4 settlers and will show as such, but each interior plot is its own object and will account for 1-2 people in those plots.
 
I had long wanted to do redecorating for this plot but felt frustrated/stuck. But now I have gotten some help about how to do more dynamic clutter from @1000101 & @Captain LaserBeam !

If free time allows, hopefully soon.


I'm going to give it 4 beds/2 bunk beds in order to avoid any issues. Plot will get somewhat of a redesign, and perhaps a Plot Skin option to choose between no clutter(just beds & snap point pieces) or future new way(decorated, no snaps) for it.


This looks quite nice!
I put a counter and a bar mat down there on floor 1 like a hotel front desk. Wish we had an actual hotel plot like in SS1. I Plan to make my one in Break heart Banks a brothel with Hookers of the Commonwealth we need the brothel plot back too.

How would you changing the design effect my existing setup?

I finally added a double-bed under the stairs on the first floor and will throw a sleeping bag somewhere to make up for the 4 beds in the main house then put internal plots on each of the other floors, including a multi-one on the top floor. Planning on sticking The Longs there.

Adding in vanilla beds will raise you bed count but doesn't change that actual plots capacity. All you are doing at that point is adding non-housing beds. And from what I am finding beds don't count towards homes in the ss2 hud or plot upgrade needs.
 
Whoops! My bad. Didn’t consider that
Beds don't need to be there for the settlers to gain benefit from it. All the bed actually does is provide an animation/idle marker really. Even without any beds in the plot it would still function.
 
You know that vanilla line settlers give you when you don't have enough beds, "Just to let you know people have been sleeping in shifts." They say it like its a bad thing, welcome to the apocalypse, what do you all just leave the gates unmanned at night? I mean I also think defense plots should all be 2 person by default, 12 hour work shift at the defense station. They should never be unmanned.
 
So if I removed the bed on the first floor it wouldn’t affect anything?
 
Figured I’d turn the first floor into a living area.
That's why I enjoy the minimal nature of it at L3. You can really play with it to make it yours. And by all means if vanilla beds are what you are going for, go for it. I just find that they don't seem to count towards plot upgrade needs like for commercial. That might be something on my side though. Now with the new
things can be even more minimal if you like.
 
I mean a living room/sitting area.

I wasn’t able to get those plots to work in this building. I wish they had proper 1x1 interior plots.
 
I highly recommend this mod for any building in sanctuary. They are 1x1 minimal plots that are designed like exterior but function as interior lots. Single and multi res out of the box. They work well with the Superstructure plots like the 4 story etc.

How do you mean couldn't get them to work? Drop one delete the power pole if it appears and boom. I have them all over sanctuary and i am using a couple in the super structure 4 story in other settlements. The 4 story is one of my go to plots.
 
you can only really fit one per floor so no real resin to use them in the 4-story. If I tried two the ASAMs ended up outside the building. I do use Place Anywhere and even with that it was a headache getting interior plots on each floor.
