Comment on Fallout 4
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months agoI modded the game from the first time. Since it’s my first time playing it, I used Sim Settlements 2 out of the box, but I did try my hand at Settlement management without it (since its features don’t unlock immediately, there’s some sidequests) and it was agonizing as you describe. However with Sim Settlements 2, not only is it a breeze, but the settlements look way more interesting as well without inordinate amounts of time. I enjoy finding things to equip my settlers to fight off attacks etc.

…that actually sounds interesting, Might need to look into that. My original plan was just to mod in infinite carryweight and such and just pick a direction and go on an adventure but now I’m reconsidering.
So how does the sim settlements thing work, if I’m going with it, do I need to (or want to?) install all the chapters, or should I add those once “I’m done” to move it along?

You can follow the quests of SS2 to unlock more stuff, but I think some of them unlock on their own? Don’t have quite enough experience with it. But it provides enough out of the box that you would do the basics and then have pretty well maintained settlements anyway.
Not sure what you mean by " install all the chapters". IIRC it’s just one file.

what I meant was that their site lists 3 different chapters as different downloads, each newer requiring the previous ones.
haven’t delved in their documentation yet, I’m assuming these are stacking changes/quests somehow, but… dunno. I’ll read into it.

for carryweight you dont even need mods. open the console once, swat in a player.modav carryweight 1000 and be done with it
