Love the decorations!

Red House looks like it could be a plot IMO! Is it from an addon?

It's the Pizza Rec Plot from Wasteland Ventures 2

How interesting! I don't know how I'd missed it but I suppose it was due to doing smaller settlement than I usually do because of contest. I didn't use many Commercial. It's really cool though

 

[Rudy]

You do not disappoint sir. Outstanding!

Not to be a jerk, but is that within the competition rules? I'm not sure if that's been included in base SS now, or if it's still an Add On.

I'd hate for this wonderful plan to get disqualified.

Add On plots are allowed. We just can't use custom placable objects like for example custom Desks like in Creations by COOTS or any custom foundations. Add On Build Plans are completely fine because Sim Settlements will auto-select another plot if the player's install is lacking that Add On.

Though personally I recommend using every Add On, or even on Xbox One I recommend using at least a few definitely including WV/WV2.

What about Add-on Packs?

Yes and no. You can use Building Plans on your plots from any add-on you like! What you can't do, is build extra items from an add-on, for example, custom City Planner's Desks.

Building Plans are allowed because Sim Settlements can dynamically change them for players not using the add-on you had, whereas it won't know how to handle the other items.

Right. Thanks!. I missed that when reading through the rules when I last looked at them. I think my brain defaulted to "SS only, other stuff to complicated".

That makes me feel better. I really like this plan, especially the use of terraformer foundations to blend the plots in with the landscape. And it would be terrible for it to be disqualified on a technicality.

Just starting the city plan and I cannot find the desk. Help?

From memory, it's inside the "hidden" safehouse. Look behind the bookcase in the bar.

Yagisan with a hat trick! I love it, yourself and NDCowdy will definitely be making a mark on my playthrough. I appreciate your work!
