As I am fond of saying, after 5 years of playing FO4, I’d much rather leave the ungrateful, nearly useless settlers to build all the settlements up themselves.
That's why Crime and Punishment is a must for me; when Marcy / Jun / Mama Murphy grip my shit, I erect a gallows :p Yeah vanilla Fo4 felt castrated when it came to settlements, and a settler limit that barely goes into double digits always left my settlements feeling really empty.
From what Ive seen there's not a lot of Sim Settlement 2 tutorials that explain things well. This is a good time for these and yours are easy to follow and informative. Keep up the good work and expect subs!
In fairness the originator, kingath, has always released videos, updated them, when there's a new SS/ SS2 relaese/ update. Sadly his channel has very poor visibility on this platform.
Yeah, places like Jamaica Plains, Hangman's Alley and Coastal Cottage are definately perfect for City Plans. I have enjoyed building my own set-ups elsewhere, but those hell holes are perfect for someone else's patient planning lol. And they really turn out cool, too! (Also Zimonja) Also, now you can put settlers in as leaders/mayors - I made Blake Abernathy mayor of his own farm. I mean, it's the least I could do after turning his farm into an industrial nightmare...
I completely agree, I usually build up a few settlements and ignore the rest so this is great for me :p Haha poor old Blake, wish there was a mod to make a synth version of his dead daughter! Abernathy farm definitely looks weird without thicc clouds of smoke! ;)
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm if you’ve ever seen Python’s “The Meaning of Life”; the second segment, about birth, you hear what was possibly Graham Chapman’s stuffy toff voice saying, “yaahshuhr. Thuh thuuurd world”. That and an ex gf’s background included staying in some little town in Yorkshire. It’s almost as backward as you can get, like West Virginia. Or so I heard
It's been a while I forgot that the Blueprint was how you assign a leader I thought it might not be in the new version of this mod or had to be unlocked, Thank you much man!
I usually build up a few settlements myself as Minutemen bases (sanctuary, the drive in, the castle, etcetera) because I like dedicating entire settlements to the Minutemen as I rebuild them, but I don’t want to fool with the others so City plans is a godsend
Hey dude /dudette! sorry for such a long period with no reply; we have just moved into a new house and had to swap ISPs, so we have been in the stone age over here. Hoping your name is a reference to the One, the Only, Captain Keyes who chews covenant A holes and spits frag grenades. I am the same; I have 'favourites' that I always personally build up, and the rest are either neglected or now...CITY PLANS, BABY. It is a great tool, hoping bugthesda incorporate something similar in future titles.
It is literally part of the questline to build a city plan, in the quest who can asam, the only problem is I believe they are all just level 1 plans, not level 3 like in SS1, although Kinggath mentioned in his last video plans are coming.
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm Yeah it holds your hand, teaches you about the new plot type, setting up a city plan including picking a leader, even teaches you how to use the new salvage beacons.
@@Havik79 I am very excited to get my hands on the salvage beacons! I have just finished the quest on Twitch where you accompany Jake to Vault Tec HQ :) I love how detailed the instructions are, I also want to know if it is possible now / in the future to get the special settlers without following the SS2 questline. I feel like that might break it but I am unsure xD
Using SS2 and a few other mods, i managed tp turn the minutmen into a Republic of sorts. Soldiers i can recruit at anytime i want. Honestly, there are so many mods i cannot play without anymore because they just add so much, and are ao much fun to screw around with.
Hey thanks for the guide, I kinda liked the whole discovery element from ROTC a bit better for discovering higher tier plots (ammo foundry FTW) but Sim Settlements 2 adds in tons of custom voiced followers and it’s own main quest. I thought the settlement plans could go past level 1 like in ROTC but thanks for the update. 😉

Agree. would love to see it primarily used as a vault location, but maybe the themes for the vaults change? So a BoS occupied vault, a trading hub vault, an arms dealer vault..
Dang, that was all I needed to want to download sim settlements 2, I had the first one and was not sure if this would be in the second one, I kinda got bored of constantly building
There is a SS mod; Idek’s Logistic Stations, that give you a plot to link your settlements together, or you can do it the old fashioned way. Also, I agree on the content! I was thinking about a Conqueror series, how does that sound?!
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm Dude, you don't have to feel obligated to reply to every comment. Trying to do that completely overwhelmed Gaming Gramma, though she still tries to do that. However, it does feel good to see someone is listening.
I try to, I don't get that many so it isn't so overwhelming at all :D its just opening comments, forgetting to reply, then closing the tab on my phone and forgetting. What I've been thinking about is a few of the new weapon mods on nexus caught my eye last night, might do a showcase of them over the weekend 0.o I am listening bro :D
Something everyone seemingly fails to talk about is how to use different city plans. I downloaded a bunch of city plans from Nexus but they never show up as an option on the city manager desk. Someone told me you have to have city blueprints mod installed, but I think they're confusing city plans with settlement blueprints. No one who makes city plans tells you how to use them and neither does the sim settlement people. How do you use player made/contest city plans?
Same issue here, people make it seem like you just enable the .ESL files but aren't clear about load order aside from the unofficial patch needing to load before workshop framework but I still just get no plans on any settlements not even the default ones... I tried fresh saves and I'm experimenting with load order of the esl files now but idk. You ever figure this shit out?
@@nCSirloin The basic plans show up. I'm playing the VR version, so I can't use ESL. Have to be ESP. I'm getting too many crashes downtown now so I've pretty much set it aside.
Hey bud. If they aren’t showing up, I would check they are compatible with your installed version of Sim Settlements 2 firstly, and then it is just a case of interacting with a city planner desk and picking a plan. If it is not showing up, then there is a compatibility issue.
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm I was wondering that myself. But I was wondering about the scrapping aspect because in Sim Settlement 1 you don't need to scrap the broken buildings etc. Whereas in your videos I've noticed that some of your buildings are scrapped as well as other items. UPDATE:- I finished your video and it mentions the scrapping aspect.
I know this video is 2 years old, but I didn't hear anything about why we might not want to use city plans for a settlement - was it merely because the settlers will strip down anything previously built? Or is it due to the potential for cell bloat? Or something else?
Hi, when about to start build... before that do we need settlers to make build settlement? mine just crash when starting build settlement but without settlers in jamaica plain or i need the plugin require cause i've 2 plugin require but i ignore them.
You definitely need required mods for it to work :) You can build without Settlers, but you must tweak the option to build cities without a leader. Obviously, so long as you’ve got the resources for the plans. Then the plots will be placed, but it won’t grow until Settlers arrive
Hi, not too sure if you'd have the answer to this, but I'm currently using the Rise of the Commonwealth city plans mod and for some reason I'm not gaining any settlers past 12 people in Sanctuary. Is this something that would just take lots of time or do I need to manually do something? Thank you for this video btw
It dose not work for me when make stodge the leader he's from the ss2 quest it does the cinematic and then it stops in the middle of it and says that the leader needs a desk because it scraped it when starting it it says to build one and reassign him but it does not work even when go and do some questing for a while Note I have scrap everything installed but I tried it with scrap everything still its not working
Have you tried loading an earlier save? Or loading an earlier save and seeing if he works as a leader for a city plan in another settlement? Just as a test to check if it’s him as an NPC leader, or if it might be a settlement issue
I selected a plan for sanctuary and then everything is scrapped but then nothing was built. Might be a bug . If you have any idea how to fix this pls help
I have a question. In the ss 1 there used to be a little widget at the bottom left to track the progress of your city plan. For example it would show the current level of the plan and the percentage it currently is to the next level. It seems to be gone kn ss2 so idk how to track if my settlement is actually growing or not
Hi Ambient Light; I think you need to ensure their requirements are full (the bars) and then they will start to fill the caps bar at the bottom… I may be miss-remembering as I have recently reinstalled SS1 and Conqueror
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm I will try that next its such a good addition to own I mean being lazy for some shitty settlements while gaining their benefits? Oh god yes I need that haha
Does it build foundations instantly like in your video? Or is that a timelapse cut. Cause I follow those steps, start to float up and all the scrap reappears. But nothing is ever placed.
Hey Jesse, the foundations should be placed when the camera pans out, I didn't edit it in my video:) but if you have anything else that is script heavy it may take a bit longer for them to appear. If the camera pans out and the settlement objects reappear after being removed, I think that It may be a bug or a conflict. Hope this helps
Hi, how to change settings of city planning? In SS1 it was available with holotape found in Concord, but I have no idea how to find settings in this version.
I'm getting frustrated because my settlers aren't building their buildings at all there's no progress and they're just sitting there how can I speed up the process or what am I doing wrong
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm okay. My settlers actually finished there buildings it just took forever i don't know very much how it all works and trying to speed the process. I placed down the asam buildings the best way i can and then i just started to put junk in the storage so they will have enough resources to build and that's basically what I did
Hmmm, I would first ask how many mods you are running, and have you reloaded and tried multiple times to place it? If that is the case, maybe reinstall ss2, also, how many mods, of which how many are big script eaters?
Hey here returning to fallout 4 so do i need to install Sims ROTC due to me rather having them build so i can add on or does sims 2 come with all the seperating add ons?
At some point, I really want to get a Fallout 4 Let’s Play going on the channel! I will probably Poll it, and have either Raider Overlord, Minutemen General, or Bounty Hunter :D
does this mod affect assignment? started a new fallout 4 and in sanctuary trying to finish the feed settlers quest but they seem to unassign themselves and not collect the food so food is staying at 0 no matter what i place down
For what purpose Nick?:) I SS1 they had faction skins for certain buildings! I.e. brotherhood barracks :p I think it's only a matter of time before it is implemented in SS2!
@@Nicky-qb3ib they also had 'faction decorations' for Conqueror that added faction items randomly around the settlement:) but yah fingers crossed for more faction settlements over the coming months
Not sure bud, I have a series S I sometimes play on and it seems to run SS2 fine, just don’t build settlements that are too close to one another! I.e. Abernathy / red rocket / sanctuary, because the game will crash really hard trying to load it all in 😂
The mod is called Workshop Plus and has a few amazing features, one of which is the flycam :) it uses scripts so I think for Xbox you would have to download an alternative, but there is something like it for Xbox. I think it’s an equippable or something
What do I do if a cetain settlement with City Plan and Leader cause CTD when going near/ fast travel to it particularly Starlight Drive-in? I can safely enter it at start but after the place got 10 settlers i cannot safely enter it without causing CTD.
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm Not sure, I've only have SS2, Workshop Framework, Better Settlers, FAR, Boston FPS, Optimized Vanilla Textures,MCM, Militarize Minutemen and NPC Travel.
Weird :p I have issues with crossing Cells sometimes, if you want peoples to have a look, feel free to join the discord, post your load order and a detailed description of the CTD :) I am working right now but maybe one of the other guys can work it out before I get to it :p
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm I've looked at some similar instances at the internet and it seems its a problem that happened way back in SS 3in1 of some settlements causing CTD as they upgrade to lvl 2 without the player's presence. I've noticed my Starlight have 10 settlers at present when back when it had only 3 I can still go there with no CTD. So it's likely the case and from what I read there's no solution to save that settlement but to either ignore it or revert back to previous saves and avoid building there again. As now I've decided to not play SS2 till it gets more stable and bug fixed. There's also the possible that this occurs cuz i don't use a beefy pc. Thanks for replying :3 I haven't finished playing Fallout 4 story and DLC so I'll just do that while I wait and what I've heard this is just Chapter 1.
That is annoying, glad you have cornered the issue though mate. Oh definitely get the story completed and then you can play your next playthrough with Depravity and Outcasts and Remnants installed, giving you different options for how to complete quests In the campaign. I am very much looking forward to ss2's version of Conqueror...
I’m having issues on Xbox. Plans I downloaded and the only city plan available don’t work. the game puts me into cinematic mode but only scraps things and doesn’t place plots or nothing
Does it stay like that or does it allow you to play there just isn’t anything there? I don’t have a clue for Xbox, but if it was pc I would say that signifies to me that the game is trying to process too much at once
I would say - if you can move around - then go do some questing in a different area and the engine will hopefully start to process some of the massive SS2 scripts behind the scenes.
old blood modder thats been out of the scene for a long time. so forgive my ignorance please. is there any configuration for this that is 100% hands off? as in, after i aqquire a settlement, i drop the desk and just walk away. no donating resourses or ASAMs or anything. i friggin hate settlement building in fallout.
Hey Jeremiah Freeman, so long as you have A character who can be a city leader (a mayor for your settlement) then you can assign a mayor, select your city plan from the desk, and leave it alone.
I think I've figured out what's wrong, so I tried building with a city plan in Oberland station and it works, the thing is, it didn't work before with the Castle. I think if we are able to SWITCH city plans to a new one, it will build it, but the one that were bugged and already had a city plan before won't work because you can't replace it or make it build from scratch. so maybe the solution is to wait for new city plan mods for settlements that are bugged, and replace the old city plans with those.
@@frozentspark2105 do it! There’s a new release that adds them in as a viable story faction :) I think it’s one of the most popular F4 mods this month!
Hi Alan, if the settlement has multiple levels then it should automatically place additional plots and objects after a period of time. Just keep the settlement's funds and resources plentiful and hit all the settler needs :)
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm my Sanctuary doesn't level past lvl 1 i have all the prerequisites. Scrap, 21 settlers, 90% happines, lvl 3 plots. 2 month in game has passed, 5 days in game time. Sanctuary won't level up.
@@djkinetic2020 Hey dude, first off, great work on the Sanctuary bro! Secondly, not every settlement will have multiple levels, only some of them have this. When you select a city plan, it should say whether it is a L1 plan or a L2 plan. Hope this helps .:)
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm mostly weapon, armor, and challenging game play mods. This SS2 is the only script heavy mod I use. I got it to work by disabling the cinematic mode. I've only used it on one settlement so far, so we shall see how it goes. Thanks for the check in though, im gonna sub for that.
Glad you resolved it, and I am grateful for the sub! Pro tip I spent nearly 50 hours working out with vanilla SS1; building up Sanctuary / RedRocket / Abernathy (or other similarly close settlements), before I had constant CONSTANT CTDs going near RedRocket, as the game would try and load elements of all three settlements at the same time, so now I have a rule where I build one, skip one, build one etc :p
bro i watched your last video and this one too and u didn't help at all u just show us basics stuffs that anybody can figure it out but u didn't show us how to actually build shit and other features I never played sim settlement before

I'm getting frustrated because my settlers aren't building their buildings at all there's no progress and they're just sitting there how can I speed up the process or what am I doing wrong
What have you done so far?
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm okay. My settlers actually finished there buildings it just took forever i don't know very much how it all works and trying to speed the process. I placed down the asam buildings the best way i can and then i just started to put junk in the storage so they will have enough resources to build and that's basically what I did
For some reason when I place the desk, it has no desktop or blueprint on it, so I can't manage the city, any ideas why?
Hmmm, I would first ask how many mods you are running, and have you reloaded and tried multiple times to place it? If that is the case, maybe reinstall ss2, also, how many mods, of which how many are big script eaters?
Hey here returning to fallout 4 so do i need to install Sims ROTC due to me rather having them build so i can add on or does sims 2 come with all the seperating add ons?
Hey Raven, SS1 (and all it’s content including Conqueror / ROTC / industrial revolution) aren’t compatible at all with SS2, sorry!
what is that gun you're using, it looks like a mini gun but its an assault rifle instead
Gatling Rifle - hell of a mod www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10289?tab=description
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm ooh man thanks a bunch 😎👍
WTF!?! Is that Mama Murphy at 2:35? What the hell man? 😳
Drug use is illegal in the Minutemen Free Zone. A cheeky little role play I did of a much more dangerous, oppressive Minutemen xD
Lmao. That is awesome.
At some point, I really want to get a Fallout 4 Let’s Play going on the channel!
I will probably Poll it, and have either Raider Overlord, Minutemen General, or Bounty Hunter :D
Ooh ooh, I vote bounty hunter. Call him....Boba Jet. Lol
@@Jagstang1981 haha or Yogurt Wett.
What mod are you using for that hang loose hand at 2:25 ?
I think it is baked into the MP5 weapon mod as an idle :)
Anyone here on xbox one? I seem to be getting crash issues after I've used city plans for 4/5 city's? If I go into a built up areas it crashes?
Do you have a lot of mods? SS is relatively script-intensive
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm I'm going to start over I've been on reddit and was told what load order so I'll give that a go
@@snowmanMK1 best of luck friend :)
does this mod affect assignment? started a new fallout 4 and in sanctuary trying to finish the feed settlers quest but they seem to unassign themselves and not collect the food so food is staying at 0 no matter what i place down
I hope they make a mod called faction style settlement
For what purpose Nick?:)
I SS1 they had faction skins for certain buildings! I.e. brotherhood barracks :p
I think it's only a matter of time before it is implemented in SS2!
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealmoh, well I never seen a minutemen style
@@Nicky-qb3ib they also had 'faction decorations' for Conqueror that added faction items randomly around the settlement:) but yah fingers crossed for more faction settlements over the coming months
Hey, do you have a list of mods installed in this playthrough? I'm honestly very interested in it!.
Thanks!!
what setting do I use in the city planers desk to get the most out of my series x
Not sure bud, I have a series S I sometimes play on and it seems to run SS2 fine, just don’t build settlements that are too close to one another! I.e. Abernathy / red rocket / sanctuary, because the game will crash really hard trying to load it all in 😂
Also, I know this has nothing to do with this, but I found that using NAC on Xbox is a really REALLY good console alternative to using an ENB :)
How do you enable the "free float" camera view? 1:25
The mod is called Workshop Plus and has a few amazing features, one of which is the flycam :) it uses scripts so I think for Xbox you would have to download an alternative, but there is something like it for Xbox. I think it’s an equippable or something
What do I do if a cetain settlement with City Plan and Leader cause CTD when going near/ fast travel to it particularly Starlight Drive-in? I can safely enter it at start but after the place got 10 settlers i cannot safely enter it without causing CTD.
How many mods do you currently have and do you have anything tthat breaks Pre Combineds?
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm Not sure, I've only have SS2, Workshop Framework, Better Settlers, FAR, Boston FPS, Optimized Vanilla Textures,MCM, Militarize Minutemen and NPC Travel.
Weird :p I have issues with crossing Cells sometimes, if you want peoples to have a look, feel free to join the discord, post your load order and a detailed description of the CTD :)
I am working right now but maybe one of the other guys can work it out before I get to it :p
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm I've looked at some similar instances at the internet and it seems its a problem that happened way back in SS 3in1 of some settlements causing CTD as they upgrade to lvl 2 without the player's presence. I've noticed my Starlight have 10 settlers at present when back when it had only 3 I can still go there with no CTD. So it's likely the case and from what I read there's no solution to save that settlement but to either ignore it or revert back to previous saves and avoid building there again. As now I've decided to not play SS2 till it gets more stable and bug fixed. There's also the possible that this occurs cuz i don't use a beefy pc.
Thanks for replying :3 I haven't finished playing Fallout 4 story and DLC so I'll just do that while I wait and what I've heard this is just Chapter 1.
That is annoying, glad you have cornered the issue though mate.
Oh definitely get the story completed and then you can play your next playthrough with Depravity and Outcasts and Remnants installed, giving you different options for how to complete quests In the campaign.
I am very much looking forward to ss2's version of Conqueror...
Is it possible to build SS plots OUTSIDE of the Sanctuary?
It certainly is :) any settlement you can claim can have SS plots built :)
I’m having issues on Xbox. Plans I downloaded and the only city plan available don’t work. the game puts me into cinematic mode but only scraps things and doesn’t place plots or nothing
Does it stay like that or does it allow you to play there just isn’t anything there? I don’t have a clue for Xbox, but if it was pc I would say that signifies to me that the game is trying to process too much at once
I’m having the same problem
I would say - if you can move around - then go do some questing in a different area and the engine will hopefully start to process some of the massive SS2 scripts behind the scenes.
Do you have a leader assigned?
OOh that's what that does
Yeah that doesn’t work for me it never placed down anything in the settlements
old blood modder thats been out of the scene for a long time. so forgive my ignorance please. is there any configuration for this that is 100% hands off?
as in, after i aqquire a settlement, i drop the desk and just walk away. no donating resourses or ASAMs or anything. i friggin hate settlement building in fallout.
Hey Jeremiah Freeman, so long as you have A character who can be a city leader (a mayor for your settlement) then you can assign a mayor, select your city plan from the desk, and leave it alone.
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm cool. does it have to be a companion?
It doesn’t have to be a companion, certain NPCs will be flagged as potential leaders, such as Sturges :)
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm oh dude sweet
@@fairplayer916 enjoy brother!
Im just flying around, but nothing happened to my settlement. Everything is tear down but no plot is build
Same, I have no idea why, this sucks.
Are you guys using any other script heavy mods?
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm huh? not sure about dat? still newbie about mod
@@SilatBegin how many other mods do you have active Safwan?
I think I've figured out what's wrong, so I tried building with a city plan in Oberland station and it works, the thing is, it didn't work before with the Castle.
I think if we are able to SWITCH city plans to a new one, it will build it, but the one that were bugged and already had a city plan before won't work because you can't replace it or make it build from scratch. so maybe the solution is to wait for new city plan mods for settlements that are bugged, and replace the old city plans with those.
Where did you get that backpack? Please.
Survivalist go bags ;)
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm Thank`s man. You are amazing and your videos too
@@silviapintos7317 No problem! Glad to help. Thank you bro :D
holy christ did you fall asleep...edit
I think I was drinking red wine whilst making this!
What is that armor if I might ask?
It is an armour inspired by the SW Mando armours, from Galac Tac Redux :D
Seriously cool, gonna have to check that out
@@frozentspark2105 do it! There’s a new release that adds them in as a viable story faction :) I think it’s one of the most popular F4 mods this month!
What armor mods do you use?
Hey friend, it is the Heavy Set from Galac Tac Redux :D looks so groovy, perfect for a Mandolorian style gun for hire
how to import settlement's layout?
How can i upgrade mí city to level 2
Hi Alan, if the settlement has multiple levels then it should automatically place additional plots and objects after a period of time. Just keep the settlement's funds and resources plentiful and hit all the settler needs :)
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm my Sanctuary doesn't level past lvl 1 i have all the prerequisites. Scrap, 21 settlers, 90% happines, lvl 3 plots. 2 month in game has passed, 5 days in game time. Sanctuary won't level up.
@@djkinetic2020 Hey dude, first off, great work on the Sanctuary bro! Secondly, not every settlement will have multiple levels, only some of them have this. When you select a city plan, it should say whether it is a L1 plan or a L2 plan. Hope this helps .:)
the guy wont show up! 🤦🏾♂🤷🏾♂
ss2 content
Sooooooon muahaha
is this a mod? 🤙 2:24
Mine just crashes when I try to do city plans.
Do you have a lot of script-heavy mods? Or build settlements with SS right next to one another?
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm mostly weapon, armor, and challenging game play mods. This SS2 is the only script heavy mod I use. I got it to work by disabling the cinematic mode. I've only used it on one settlement so far, so we shall see how it goes.
Thanks for the check in though, im gonna sub for that.
Glad you resolved it, and I am grateful for the sub!
Pro tip I spent nearly 50 hours working out with vanilla SS1; building up Sanctuary / RedRocket / Abernathy (or other similarly close settlements), before I had constant CONSTANT CTDs going near RedRocket, as the game would try and load elements of all three settlements at the same time, so now I have a rule where I build one, skip one, build one etc :p
@@RetroVaultDwellersRealm Ill implement that, thanks!
bro i watched your last video and this one too and u didn't help at all u just show us basics stuffs that anybody can figure it out but u didn't show us how to actually build shit and other features I never played sim settlement before
You dont explain how do anything
Blah, blah, blah.
Didn’t find it informative?
I when i choose “Select City plan” i get a massage saying that i font have a city plan is there any way to fix this?
Is there a city plan available for where you are trying to build? Check the SS2 site :)
So I tried this with sanctuary and the cinematic and everything did it's thing but no plots were built or anything how do I fix that problem?
