What other Mods do you use with SS?

So, this may have been asked already, maybe, there's a fixed post and i'm a potato that can't search and read anything, but i would love to ask, what are the other Mods, outside of SS Addons, that you folk use?
For exemple, what mod do you folks use for raising the settlement build budget. And about Population Limits? I know it's normally tied to Charisma, and i remember that there's an setting around SS to ignore charisma (i'm reinstalling my mods after about a year without having time and hardware to play... so i may have mistaken about a SS option to ignore the Charisma Limitation?)
Anyway, any other mods?
Settlers Sandbox Expansion? I remember something around it.

If there's a post about usefull mods to use with SS, please, link me to it!

Sorry for any grammar problems, english isn't my native =z
 
Depends, are you asking about mods in general, or just ones that might interact with the settlements? 'cause I probably have about... 20~30 or so that would (in some way, major or minor) have an impact on settlements. My total plugin list however is, uh... much longer to say the least.
 
Are people using Bigger Settlements or All Settlements Extended without trouble?

All Settlements Extended says on its page that it's compatible with Sim Settlements. I'm almost done rebuilding my mod list, will be giving it a shot soon. :)
(also if using AGOMBz, it has patches for the normal ASE + Far Harbour ASE)
 
I use Settlers Sandbox Expansion, but to be honest, I can't know if it's working or not. It says that expands settlers sandbox zone.... But I'm only building/playing at Sanctuary at the moment and they seem the same as always for me. Will post my modlist here tonight when I get home!
 
1- Clean and Simple , complete series. My mandatory mod with SS so I can start building right way and not scrapping all day
(Use the vanilla build zone setting so it doesn’t conflict with another build zone extender like below)

2- All Settlements Extended - for the increased build zone

3- AGOMBz -pairs nicely with above

4- forgot exact name but Settlement Surplus Uncapped or something like that, the vanilla surplus settings stink, esp with industrial settlements

5- Bass Defense mod that pairs with above to take into account new uncapped surplus settings

6- the SS plan previews mod, doesn’t work with some addons and kinda complicated to get working but worth it and can’t really build without previewing what plan building looks like. Wish this was default in core SS and not an add on
 
I'm using Attackers get off my build zone and BS Defense. Works good, can't remember the last time a settlement actually lost while I wasn't there.

Also my own mods, like Advanced Recruitment Beacon and Immersive Teleportation. The former to precisely control the amount of settlers per settlement, the latter to get around, and, in some cases, for supply lines. I usually use Idek's Logistics Station for supply lines, but I decided against them on Spectacle Island and Water World (Uituit's settlement mod), because I don't want the provisioners to swim there.
And in Boston Airport and Mechanist's Lair, because I use them more as player homes than as settlements.
 
Specifically interacting with my settlements/improving them; I know off the top of my hand I've got the SS Year One Mega Pack, IDEK's Logistics Station, a bunch of SS Addons, Icebreaker - Settlements, Better Settlers, Gruffyd's Signs of the Times & Signs and Posters, G2M, Workshop Rearranged, Manufacturing Extended + Expanded, Armorsmith Extended, a bunch of hair/face detail/etc mods to help prettify my settlers, Rename Anything so I can give them names, OCD, Immersive Scrapping, Place Everywhere, Settlements Expanded, AGOMBz, FO4Seasons - Summer... I forget, probably some more. Got a bunch of texture and sound mods too that don't have esps.

Game in general, this:

Do you guys use the one above or this more recent version (MAGOMBz) ?
I am the author of AGOMBz and MoreAGOMBz mods.

I keep AGOMBz mod only because I don't want to do a "No DLC" or "Not All DLC" versions for MoreAGOMBz.
If you have all DLC and Mod Configuration Menu, you can disable all in MoreAGOMBz and get AGOMBz. Almost, except:
- larger number of potential attack spawn points
- fixes that are not included in AGOMBz
 
BS Defense is must for me. It's not so much the attacks that were troublesome, but the fear of the game crashing during the fight in a big settlement or worse just after while looting bodies. And it's always the settlement that is on the other side of the map that needs your help. Now well managed settlements always win.

Also, I played with SS for more than six months using the vanilla survival system until I finally got wise and started using Survival Options. Being able to hard save before walking into a troublesome or quirky settlement is a luxury I've earned after the hours and days wasted to crashes.

So if I understand correctly (I have all the DLCs), I should get MoreAGOMBz, right? Didn't understand what you mean with "you can disable all in MoreAGOMBz and get AGOMBz" (disable what and why, exactly?). Thanks for your work!

With MCM, MoreAGOMBz has many settings. You can disable everything. The result will AGOMBz with improvements. Look at the screenshots on the mod page

If you don't like:
Increased number of attackers - turn them off
notifications in mesage box - turn them off
DLCs creatures attacks - turn them off
animals from cages attacks - turn them off

Oh now I understand what you're saying! I wasn't able to view nexus pages at work so I didn't knew the differences between them, but now I read those pages and is very clear, your mod is awesome man! Downloading right now.

I use More AGOMBz, the newer one, just call it by old name sometimes bc started using it awhile back.

I like base defense so attacks auto resolve better, and for when I am personally there, my death towers of massive turret spam takes care of it. Forgot exact name but it’s advanced turrets or something like that, remote powered massively OP turrets.
