I am doing two lay throughs. One of my play through the add on Vault Tec Tools has a nice menu under SIms Settlements I use all the time. In another play through the menu not there. Both setups use the exact same mods. The first one I am a raider the second play through i am playing the typical minuteman method. Is there any reason you all believe why I don't have Vault Tec Tools in my second play through? Any ideas how to restore it?
 
There is an option to restore missing menu items. To quote the man himself:
If you ever lose menu items, it's due to the way the game handles those menus. Any mods that alter the menus need to be uninstalled in game with a script.

You can get around this issue by using Settlement Menu Manager. It's holotape has an option to restore your menus so it can fix anything missing.
 
I ran the holotape didn't work. Per your implied suggestion I ran a clean uninstall/reinstall of vault tec tools and that did work thank you.
 
I haven't gotten around to testing VTT on the latest version of Sim Settlements. I will take a look tonight and check the requirement for the menu (if there even are any, I honestly don't remember).
For comparison, do you have any other addons that add menus to the Sim Settlements menu, such as JtBryant's Foundations? And if so, do they work fine?
 
I don't think Homemaker adds to the SS menu though. It has it's own menu.

I checked SS 4.x and nothing's changed that I can see that would cause the menu to not load.
Requirements are still the same: SMM must be installed and the SS holotape has to be run once.

The issue of the menu not appearing has popped up before from a few other players, but whenever I made suggestions, such as using the SMM holotape to rebuild the menu, I never got a response. So I don't know what works. I've never been able to reproduce the issue on my own either. What's new to me this time is that it works on one save, but not the other, using the same installed mods, which baffles me even further. My best guess at this point is that it's an issue with SMM or the integration script included with SS, but I could be totally wrong.
 
I realize now if you go on and out of workshop for a hour or two eventually vault tec tool menu fails. Each time when I want it back I go to vortex and tell it to reinstall the mod and it comes back.
 
Thank you Samutz!!!!!

:bye If I see anymore of these we can get them going in the right direction :good

What I saw was when the mega pack came out, folks removed VT and were loosening the VT menu. Oddly, some were saying it was a delayed loss?? :pardon

I’ll test it later today as I have the Mega Pack 2 and VT installed. When folks were having problems I could replicate it. At least then I could.
 
i was doing some testing earlier and found if you have mega pack 2 install even if vt is installed too some things do not works such as the auto close sliding door. i dug as deep as i know how to and found the only change i could see was a name change on the linked script. sadly i do not know how to open script so no idea if there is a change in the script
