XBox One X and Sim Settlements

[curtmantle]

I am currently playing Fallout 4 with Sim Settlements on a PC (Ryzen 5, 4GB 1050ti with 16gb RAM) and it performs pretty well. I have been contemplating getting an Xbox One X recently so I wanted to ask the Xbox One X users how well the console copes with Sim Settlements and what issues they have.

My question is more focused on performance rather than bugs etc. The relative lack of CPU power concerns me when it comes to Sim Settlements so I was wondering whether the limits of the console make Sim Settlements struggle.

I'm more than happy to make concessions in my gameplay (smaller settlements for example or maybe play without RotC) but the core Sim Settlements and Industrial Revolution is a must-have and a factor in whether to get the console.

As this is my first post, I wanted to add a big thanks to kinggath and all the other modders involved in this project. It's an incredible piece of work and your talent, time and effort is massively appreciated.

Also, I'm not contemplating the original Xbox One or Xbox One S - just the Xbox One X.

Thanks in advance.

Sim settlements worked fine on my Xbox one x, prior to rise of the commonwealth. I had settlements of up to 30 plots without any issues. I even had mods like USO to add on extra details and everything ran smoothly.
Rise of the Commonwealth seems to have hit a snag with the Xbox One X. BUT BUT BUT from reading multiple postings on here, it seems to be issues with the mod itself AND not so much the hardware. Yes, I can’t build up a settlement to have 60 plots, but big whoop. SimSettlements has allowed me to realize my dream of playing Fallout 4 while actually rebuilding the Commonwealth. Even with the frustrations of ROTC, SimSettlements is a mod I highly recommend to anyone with an Xbox One X who wants to keep playing Fallout 4. Kinggath and his team are awesome!

SS and IR work fine for me with some of the performance items ticked off on a regular One. I’ve got to imagine an X would be fine.

I use sim settlements and rotc, but not ir on my x. I also use stuff like Boston fps fix and have no real issues besides a bit of lag. 40 hours or so on this character, maybe 4 crashes and of course those were all downtown

Do the RotC problems only occur if you install the expansion or have there been changes made to the base mod to accommodate RotC which cause problems regardless?

I haven't installed the RotC expansion on PC but I still see some things in the base mod which I'm sure are RotC elements - that's why I'm wondering. Like I said before, I'm happy to work with some limitations as long as I know what things are likely to affect my game negatively.

Thanks for the responses all.

I use RotC on my Xbox X with about 7 settlements now, mostly level 1 and 2. Also probably a 100 other mods... No issues.

In my experience, the RotC expansion seems to be causing the issues. My regular settlements that I have built up myself, since the RotC expansion, don't seem to have the issues that my settlement "cities" have.
