Solved Unable to craft City planners Desk.

[Werewulfaz]

After I've chosen to have pre-built settlements, I'm now unable to craft the city planners desk at other settlements (Sanctuary, Red Rocket, Castle, Covenant, Mechanist Lair etc etc. Any idea on what could be the issue? Also, is there a list of mods that one should stay clear of due to conflicts? As I went to Starlight Drive-In some of the furniture are sitting in mid-air and others are clipped inside desks etc. I'm using Cheat Room, Cheat Termnial, The Widow Shotgun, Tribal Power Armor & Workshop Turret pack.

Most of those look like the build hasn't successfully scrapped all the vanilla items, there can be a bit of a delay in the scripts finishing cleaning up, or you may just need to scrap them yourself. They don't look like a conflict to me.
When you say you can't build a city planner's desk, my 1st question would be; have you found the city manager holotape and activated it? It's easy to forget you need to do that sometimes.

Okay but what about the room with the red door? That room specifially is always acting up. At a different playthrough there was a shelf where the couch now sits and blocking the entrance to that room. Same with the terminal that's infused within the wall.

thats the layout of the residential plot. sometimes, a random plot will block a doorway. you can simply swap out that interior plot for another one, or move the door.

This is normally due to the city build not having designers choice on. When that is the case, any old plot is picked at random. If you use designers choice, it should use the right one. However, you have to choose this before you build the city. I tried to change the choice half way through once. It ended with me starting from scratch on that settlement!

For some reason the game now crashes from time to time when I approach settlements, in Graygarden the plants that White & Brown are working on aren't showing. Codsworth isn't always with me when I'm out roaming. And Jammer has lost his armor for some reason.

The easy one to answer there is the Greygarden one. They aren't actually working on plants, there are some invisible animation markers out front of the greenhouse that can't be removed in-game. What ever jobs they may have, the Handy's like to go look after the plants whether they still exist or not. Various vanilla settlements have variations on this.
Crashing when approaching settlements is something which can start to happen as your game and the individual settlements build up. The more you have going on and the faster you approach them the more likely it is to happen. Turning down various performance settings, both in city plan holotape or for your game will help, as will walking slowly into settlements. If you find a settlement with which that doesn't work, you may need to go away and come back later as there may be something stuck in the settlement such as an upgrade or npc pathing. Letting it sort itself out over time is the patient option or if you get really stuck you may need to remote destruct it and build something simpler.

Sigh... And more problems arise. Now I can't access the Covenant building plan even though I've unlocked it. Nothing happens when I press on the blueprint. And my character has also devolped a brown face all of a sudden.

brown face is a longstanding engine bug. just save your game, quit and restart it.
given your previous issues, are you certain you didn't remove the city plan accidentally? if you're going to quit the game to fix the brown face bug - make sure that there's a city plan ESP/ESL for Covenant in your load order.

I haven't touched it at all, since all settlements are pre-built now. And the game still crashes for me. from time to time. All of these problems are seriously starting get really frustrating. If there's a list of mods one should avoid I need to know, Because this is starting to feel a whole lot like mod conflicts with Jammer losing his armor, game crashing, building plans being abcent even after unlocking them.

all i can say is welcome to fallout 4.
with covenant, what do you see if/when you try to select a city plan?

I walk up to the city planners desk and click on the bluprint but nothing happens. Just like it did the last time with Abernathy. And I got the message that I had unlocked the ciyplans for Covenant after I cleared it out. So it's strange that this is happening.

And the whole FAO4 thing, it's even worse on PS4. That's why I play on PC now. I got the infamous 0KB error on the PS4, and it's a nightmare to fix. So I just said **** it, and bought it for PC instead.

Apart from this, I also can not change a buildingplan in the room with the red door in Starlight Drive-In. And the raider Sarah showed up but I was gonna wait to speak with her until after I had set up a new outpost. But now she's not at the HQ anymore. Will she come back or what? I'm currently doing jobs for Dakkha now.
