I've been installing mods for video games since DOOM I or II, Sim Settlements 2 is by far one of the most best mods ever created for any game or at least my favorite. It takes the barebones system Bethesda provided, one I use to neglect, and fleshes it out with fantastic voice acting and hours of new quests to make the settlement systems a focus of my playthroughs and how I roleplay my characters. It's a technological masterpiece and really shows a deep love for and dedication to Fallout 4; the whole team behind it should be proud of their accomplishment! #SuperPatch
The same for me. Doom 1 and 2. If you're talking about the original D1/D2. Then I got pretty into map making with Duke Nukem 3D. That map creator was revolutionary.

@Kinggath, I am weekly amazed by your commitment to bring quality products to this community and your continued support for those products in order to iron out issues and bring things to a logical conclusion. I thank you and everyone else involved in the SS2 project for your work. I wonder how you find the time and resources to do all this... Then I look at how much time I've been spending to learn the CK and modding FO4 as a hobby, and it all makes sense! :)
Bethesda designing starfield to be a foundation for modders to create doesn't sound like a bad idea. Might as well let us ruin the game instead of them lol
Base in Starfield is modular. You don´t need to build wall, doors and such stuff by your self. But i´m sure they will something like ss in Starfield :D
This update is incredible! I admit I never played through the questline before but I was intrigued by the prospect of cleaning and managing an hq. There's so much to do and the storyline is really good.
Been waiting for this patch, just downloaded it and reading the patch notes. Not sure if I want to start a whole new playthrough or just use my existing one. Thank you for all of your hard work. #SUPERPATCH
@@msboyle13 CPD are up next on my list of things that will get major attention - there are quite a few buggy quests and dialogue loops that need fixing.
#superpatch - Love the work everyone on the team has done! Some welcome features and of course great bug fixes. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I had installed the beta and that was working fine for me. LOVE the recruitment clipboard so we don't have that "Something else" dialog to go through!
I have been waiting for this #superpatch for so long now, lol... I have restarted my SS2 game at least a dozen times, and keep quitting just before I start HQ up, because I wanted to have this patch in place. That said, I have seen at least one or two new little sidequests or new NPCs or other new content on each and every single one of my playthroughs, so I have really enjoyed starting over and over and over and over again. I have had a couple of general layouts for a couple of cities which I find I keep remaking - I just discovered a certain way to do it that really works wonderfully for me and my playstyle and my aesthetics, and I decided a couple of days ago to make one or two of them into cityplans. Of course as soon as I did that and started yet another new save file with the cityplan making mods only, I found that I just couldn't make up my mind exactly how to progress from a level 0 to level 3 plan, and I think it will be that much more difficult than I expected (and I didn't think it would be easy). Still, I am going to give it a go, and hopefully will have a few plans to share soon! But again, thanks for the #superpatch! Not sure if I will finish working on my cityplans, or put them on pause until I run through all of Chapter 2 again with the new content, or if I will try to swap back and forth between both!
Thank you so much for all the hard work you and the rest of SS2 team put into this! You guys are absolute wizards and should be proud :) Especially from this #Superpatch !
Hello Kinggath, it seems you and the really have outdone yourself on this one. This #SUPERPATCH looks amazing, I haven't played Fallout 4 or Sim settlements 2 in like 8-9 months due to taking a break waiting for HQ2.0 and wanting to play some other games (AC Valhalla, Forza Horizon 4 and the past 6 months or so deeply into Microsoft flight simulator. However you really managed to get the timing right with this patch since i now have my regular 4-5 (paid) summer off from work which would be a great time to get back into SS2 since being away for so long means lots of mods needs to be updated (or removed). With all the new content in this patch I will be busy for a long time. I hope to be able to catch one of your streams sometime but you seems to have a thing for streaming in the middle of the night (you streams usually starts around 03.00 my time (CEST)) so when I work I usually don't have time to watch (gets up at 05.30 and heads off to work 45 min later) and when I'm off I don't feel like getting up at 05.30 just to watch your stream. (you can find me on both SS2 forums and discord, same nickname there as here).
#superpatch wow, lot's of great stuff here! I'll get around to it soon, still working on how to get World Repop extended (lot of tutorial videos watched!) Thanks to all of the SS2 team for this wonderful mod.
I was looking for a patch named "Sim Settlements 2 Patch 2.2.0: HQ 2" but it doesn't exist. Then I looked at the Chapter 2 mod I installed, which was released on Sept 9th, and it is version 2.2.2. I guess I have the correct mods now. It was a bit confusing because I thought there was a patch with "HQ 2.0" in the title. ;)
can't wait for the ss2 version of conqueror. i imagine that now you guys have a more stable base, you'll be able to pull off a smoother raider campaign.
Holy hell, an hour patch video and a billion path notes, cannot wait to get in game and see all this new stuff, learn the new systems and see what bugs have been fixed first hand.
For some reason, only some of the updates are showing up. For example, I have the option to change the HQ disasters in the holotape, however, none of the extra projects are showing up, the safes are missing, I cannot access the workshop outside and although all the containers do now say "storage" I cannot interact with them whatsoever. Oh, and the new desk isn't showing up in the meeting room.
Sounds like the files didn't actually update. I've seen mod manager installs fail to overwrite the files. You might need to manually download and extract and overwrite the files yourself. Folks on the forums at simsettlements.com can probably give you some pointers if you're not sure where to put the files.
Hello Kinggath, i have this trouble that i cant start to clean up the HQ cause there's no other option than "HQ". i thought update the version of SS2 and chapter 2 will fix this but not at all even i rolling back to my save game before "how to HQ". i really need help about this. Thanks!
Wow! Kinggath, you and your Team are incredible! Making Fallout live way longer then I would have thought! I am more hyped for chapter 3 then for starfield at this point! #SUPERPATCH
with ALL due respect, and in ALL love....you just turned my after work escape into another job. I really do appreciate everything you've done for the game and community...when i could have my settlements automated, with minimal input from me - other than deciding the settlement plan - I was ALL in. ...loved whut I had, but now....gotta bow out - again, thank you for all you've done....oh yeah - thanks for the t-shirt
As with most features in SS2, all of it can be customized. Pretty much everything I showed can be turned off if you like. Ultimately, this will be an optional system for people who like the idea of building up a faction and headquarters.
Once again, SS2 is the reason I keep coming back to Fallout 4. The new HQ system, especially the efficient division of labour (see what I did there?), looks amazing.
at first i was only into SS2 because of the story content, but with chapter and the HQ system, i have another layer of the game that i now enjoy. i honestly think this is the biggest and best on the nexus right now
I have no idea why, but after taking a 6 month hiatus from Fallout 4 I come back and after using LOOT to sort my mods, (after updating them,) the happiness number was frozen at all of my settlements. I tried starting a second playthrough, after sorting the mods again it happened again and I never got notifications about plots updating, (despite the setting being on 'automated' in the holotape,) and the happiness number was again frozen at all of my settlements. At this point I'm even scared to install an update to the mod in fear of it happening again lol
#Superpatch An Idea I had for waiting for things in the background to finish up, like the hud stats updating or assigning settlers or destroying/reseting plots. An idle animation like a spinning wheel progess bar or a vault boy tinkering away. Idk if it's possible just a thought to make people waiting in locations know there are things finishing up and have a visual that there is progress while waiting for the pop up notification
Could definitely be done - we have the hooks for it in Workshop Framework to make it much easier to inject progress meters - as seen in the vid when I run the optimize tool.
I downloaded this so I did not have to micromanage settlements and did not have to build anything.... Loved the story and everything worked great...but I find having to micro manage the HQ tedious. I have to put out fires whilst trying to clean rooms.... I work, I ain't got time for micro managing. Is there a way to skip it all and just have a HQ I can enjoy, without all the energy balancing overly complicated boredom....
HQ is definitely not for everyone, and you can just ignore it once you get to it. Once we get to Chapter 3, we will a skip mechanism for it. For now, it's effectively the end-game loop until we get to C3.
@@kinggath thanks for the reply. I have loved the mod and just had a perfect play through. But the how to HQ bit onwards has broken me lol. We live in an era of instant gratification and it has spoilt us. I love the idea of it. I really want to get into it but unfortunately don't have the time, maybe an energy cheat for people who want to go through it all without the time. You are all doing an amazing job. Looking forward to what comes next. By the way there is a fire in my basement that can not be put out.
@@loysenoreilly3010 Oh I actually have those options baked in already. If you change the setting Override Timers to On, and then go into god mode with tgm. You can basically just spam build everything for free and each takes just a minute or two to complete.
@@kinggath oh cool. I am unfortunately a peasant playing on console so no God mode. I have managed to find how to reduce the time so will look into that when I am next one. Thanks.
Even though I haven't played F4 a few years, this is getting the I need to mod it and do an actual playthrough, hopefully sometime in the next few months. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this and possibly Starfield #SUPERPATCH
(assuming you meant "Conqueror" and not "Conquest", those are different things) Not yet, but Chapter 3 will very clearly be about war, so maybe then...
#SUPERPATCH Thanks for the mod and the video, kinggath. I just broke down and got Fallout 4 on PC from the Steam sale a couple weeks ago and I finally have it in a state (not with CC content on the XBOX) that I can play a big extended quest mods game (Sim Settlements 2, the Bleachers, Tales from the Commonwealth, and South of the Sea). I appreciate what you’ve done. Fallout 4 was always kind of an ultimate game for me and the Sim Settlements additions just made it better.
Downloaded the patches from Nexus, both are stating problems, "no archive" all saves corrupted so I had to delete. Went to start again but neither SS2 nor chapter 2 will install via Nexus (archive issue)
The issue seems to not be affecting everyone, which tells me it's like a problem with Nexus's network. I contacted someone I know there, and they suggested everyone with this issue report it to Nexus staff on their forums.
HQ ends up being the focal point for some of the C3 story - so pretty important we have the bugs worked out. That said - for folks who are not interested in HQ - we will have some skip mechanics available as we don't want to make this a gateway to the story - this is supposed to be a fun new sim for folks who want to build out their own faction and HQ.
Have an idea for sim settlements 2, I'm not really sure how it works cause I haven't downloaded it yet, still playing the first one and conquerer and I love it. The idea is though what if you have like a head council, either special npcs or like just the common settler, but you assign a leader to each section, like defense, power, food, houses, stuff like that, a leader for each section and then through them things get built, just a thought, not a fully flushed out idea
#Superpatch I had a bug that caused all settlers to be unassignable, this would also affect all your unique settlers and cause the ones who wander from place to place to continue doing so. This would sometimes lead to entire groups just wandering aimlessly on mass from place to place. It turns out this is a bug caused by the Unofficial FO4 patch that triggers an old since patched FO4 bug and may be not playing nicely with SS2s scripts. Though the patch you released will likely not effect what I had I’m thrilled to know a lot of people affected by UFO4Ps scripts will get a good workaround.
#Superpatch I'm eager to see the new updates in the patch. Mostly I hope the bugfixes clear out the energy problems, the caravan system and the hygiene system in the settlements. It's great that after such a long time Fallout 4 is out this mods is still expanding and alter the game to something new. Great thanks to kinggath and the whole tean for their dedication and constant work.
Would it be wise for me who has had quite a few bugs with my current save to wipe the game and Vortex and start with a totally new install of both to get the full benefits of all of the team and testers hard work? #SUPERPATCH
Is there somewhere that lets you know what special stat are best for each department? Tried downloading the 2.2 update for SS2 and I'm getting a failed archive message from vortex.
When you go to assign to a department, the best stat will be listed first for each NPC in that screen. Nexus seems to be having issues with their network delivery of files as some people are getting this issue and others aren't. Nexus staff suggested anyone having the issue report it on their forums.
#SUPERPATCH Something interesting: Having Deacon as my companion, he strips down to his undies while he is in HQ. Every other place I go he wears the appropriate costume (Minuteman Uniform, Lab coat, etc). As for Workshop Framework, is there a separate mod for the override? Or do I need to adjust Vortex/Nexusmods setup to force it to being last in the load?
Ha - or an 1 hour plus 53 minutes if I decided to go through all the rest. I still can't believe it took me as long as it did to cover the small amount of features I decided to focus on for the vid....
Add-On creators can create their own disasters, huh? Can't wait for the eventual add-on where, if you've made enemies with the Brotherhood in the main campaign, you have to defend HQ from a rampaging Liberty Prime. Okay, on a more serious note, I did have a legit question about this. As I'm sure you're aware, a lot of people use mods such as "Place Everywhere" or "Scrap Everything". Now, I know that "Scrap Everything" can be bad if overused because it can remove things that aren't meant to be removed. I mainly use it to clean up corpses after attacks on a settlement, or to clean up the little things like the loose papers and small debris piles on the floor. (You would think that Fallout characters would think to use a broom at least once in the hundreds of years since the bombs fell) Would using something like that, in this manner, restricted to corpses and optionally debris decal, hurt anything in Sim Settlements? I don't want to remove parts of HQ, but I would like the option to remove the Bloatfly corpses myself or the broken bricks and loose papers on the floor. (I'd imagine the latter being possible to break things by accident, but what about just corpses?) Like I said, I wouldn't be removing HQ components, but the corpses are going to drive me insane. I already hate having to walk by the corpses at the bridge to Sanctuary, those never despawn and even with "Scrap Everything", they're outside the settlement borders and I can't reach them. Also, does your optimization tool take vanilla mechanics into account? As far as I'm aware, Sim Settlements plots don't run off of the same storage as normal, so I'm not going to have surplus food and water in my workbench storage if I build additional Agriculture plots. I'm going to need the default crops and everything for that. If I optimize a settlement, will it take leftover settlers and auto-assign them to vanilla resources? Would it be possible to tell it what types of vanilla resources to use first when assigning, so I can either have them focus on food production for my own use or scrap to aid in construction and upgrading my gear?
We mostly just tell folks to watch out with scrap mods that break precombines, as it decimates performance and makes the navmesh work really poorly. My bet would be the optimal assignment tool only accounts for plots, as remote loading other objects can be sketchy. As far as fine tooth control over assignment order, not currently- maybe in the future.
@@kinggath Oh hell yeah! can you imagine what kind of bullshit we could get away with if we colonized internal cells? we could clean up locations we have and actually fix the wasteland.
#superpatch This patch is either going to solve some of my issues, or make my pc explode. So, the equip by department option, how does this work with the unique settlers? Can we have an option to exclude the unique settlers? And did you consider Katie the 10 year old nuclear physicist?
Unique settlers are automatically skipped by that system. Oh yeah, Katie is a little genius isn't she? It's always fun to see what stats different characters have - I find out in-game just like you guys do as the creative folks on the team decide that stuff.
@@kinggath ok, cool. I just wanted to make sure that exception was considered since my pc would likely explode if it tried to put adult cloths on a child 😂
@@Lordoftheapes79 We had a funny bug during dev of this patch where we were force equipping the fire extinguisher on everyone - it was even it equipping it on robots and infestation insects which would cause the extinguisher to stick out of their... rears. Now I wonder what will happen if someone sends a non-unique child NPC from a mod to HQ....
#Superpatch It's finally here, thanks for all the work you guys put it. That being said , it's time to create the ultimate SS2 mod list on nexus so we can easily download all the content! Now get to work - love NurbOfDoom
( I'm stupid and I solved it) Hey I love your mods but The flying on the workshop Plus stopped working and it's not mod interference because I tried to installing all other mods besides the one required to make it work and I'm trying to figure it out and it's been hours.
Love SS 2 for the settlement building and NPC quests and storyline, but got totally burned out upon hitting the brick wall of HQ quests. The quest; Build More Living Quarters, second round, just destroyed any fun and blocked any advancement for me. No way of telling which rooms can be made into living quarters until you're already commited to cleaning/building a room, and no way to recruit extra workers without building the living quarters first. After eight rooms, and not winning the "lottery" with any of them being able to be turned into living quarters I just had to give up on the HQ and seeing any more storyline or unlocks.
If you don't have a save from chap 1 then yea. It's a continuation of chap 1......Unless im stupid and King put in some type of chap 2 start option which i doubt.
@@Mustang1984 There are "cheat" options in the mod's Holotape to skip quests so you can start from where Chapter 2 starts, but you still *need* Chapter 1 installed as well.
A whole new sub-game unlocked late into Chapter 2 of SS2. Your 'team' ends up taking over a location and using it as the headquarters of effectively 'our' new faction.
Damn it.... the more I see the updates the more i want conqueror to have them.... then again would rather that they start with a mini hq that has to be built up instead with a traitor disaster that can be set off
#SUPERPATCH incredible work, thanks for keeping everything free! The quest and new mechanischs are really the bomb. Imagine if bethesdat would give you more access/info/support regarding the engine/background code. I just have one bug with the mod. The mod menu is disabled because my game is v1.10.163 and v1.10.138 is expected. How can i fix this? Keep the good work going! Cheers!

Thank you so much for all the hard work you and the rest of SS2 team put into this! You guys are absolute wizards and should be proud :) Especially from this #Superpatch !
You're one of our winners! Contact me via nexusmods.com or on the simsettlements.com forums in the next 24 hours to claim your merch code!
@@kinggath You're a wizard, Harry! :)
Hello Kinggath, it seems you and the really have outdone yourself on this one. This #SUPERPATCH looks amazing,
I haven't played Fallout 4 or Sim settlements 2 in like 8-9 months due to taking a break waiting for HQ2.0 and
wanting to play some other games (AC Valhalla, Forza Horizon 4 and the past 6 months or so deeply into Microsoft flight simulator.
However you really managed to get the timing right with this patch since i now have my regular 4-5 (paid) summer off from work
which would be a great time to get back into SS2 since being away for so long means lots of mods needs to be updated (or removed).
With all the new content in this patch I will be busy for a long time. I hope to be able to catch one of your streams sometime but you seems
to have a thing for streaming in the middle of the night (you streams usually starts around 03.00 my time (CEST)) so when I work I usually
don't have time to watch (gets up at 05.30 and heads off to work 45 min later) and when I'm off I don't feel like getting up at 05.30 just to watch your stream.
(you can find me on both SS2 forums and discord, same nickname there as here).
#superpatch wow, lot's of great stuff here! I'll get around to it soon, still working on how to get World Repop extended (lot of tutorial videos watched!) Thanks to all of the SS2 team for this wonderful mod.
I’ve been eying places around Bunker Hill for ‘world repop’; my GECK skills are SUPER rusty. Video tutorial refresher time for me too 😄
I was looking for a patch named "Sim Settlements 2 Patch 2.2.0: HQ 2" but it doesn't exist. Then I looked at the Chapter 2 mod I installed, which was released on Sept 9th, and it is version 2.2.2. I guess I have the correct mods now. It was a bit confusing because I thought there was a patch with "HQ 2.0" in the title. ;)
can't wait for the ss2 version of conqueror. i imagine that now you guys have a more stable base, you'll be able to pull off a smoother raider campaign.
Holy hell, an hour patch video and a billion path notes, cannot wait to get in game and see all this new stuff, learn the new systems and see what bugs have been fixed first hand.
For some reason, only some of the updates are showing up. For example, I have the option to change the HQ disasters in the holotape, however, none of the extra projects are showing up, the safes are missing, I cannot access the workshop outside and although all the containers do now say "storage" I cannot interact with them whatsoever. Oh, and the new desk isn't showing up in the meeting room.
Sounds like the files didn't actually update. I've seen mod manager installs fail to overwrite the files. You might need to manually download and extract and overwrite the files yourself. Folks on the forums at simsettlements.com can probably give you some pointers if you're not sure where to put the files.
@@kinggath Thank you, I'll try that now
Hello Kinggath, i have this trouble that i cant start to clean up the HQ cause there's no other option than "HQ". i thought update the version of SS2 and chapter 2 will fix this but not at all even i rolling back to my save game before "how to HQ". i really need help about this. Thanks!
You really have made the game so much more enjoyable, Thank you. #SUPERPATCH
hmmmm i will replay again from zero story tnx for the good work
tnx for all people working with you
tnx
Wow! Kinggath, you and your Team are incredible! Making Fallout live way longer then I would have thought! I am more hyped for chapter 3 then for starfield at this point! #SUPERPATCH
with ALL due respect, and in ALL love....you just turned my after work escape into another job. I really do appreciate everything you've done for the game and community...when i could have my settlements automated, with minimal input from me - other than deciding the settlement plan - I was ALL in.
...loved whut I had, but now....gotta bow out - again, thank you for all you've done....oh yeah - thanks for the t-shirt
As with most features in SS2, all of it can be customized. Pretty much everything I showed can be turned off if you like. Ultimately, this will be an optional system for people who like the idea of building up a faction and headquarters.
Once again, SS2 is the reason I keep coming back to Fallout 4. The new HQ system, especially the efficient division of labour (see what I did there?), looks amazing.
at first i was only into SS2 because of the story content, but with chapter and the HQ system, i have another layer of the game that i now enjoy. i honestly think this is the biggest and best on the nexus right now
Looking at your mod list in MCM, how do you have some settlers, conquerors and SS2 running at the same time?
Strange the Comm relay does not behave as demonstrated. When I open the Comm Relay all the screen shows is code.
I have no idea why, but after taking a 6 month hiatus from Fallout 4 I come back and after using LOOT to sort my mods, (after updating them,) the happiness number was frozen at all of my settlements. I tried starting a second playthrough, after sorting the mods again it happened again and I never got notifications about plots updating, (despite the setting being on 'automated' in the holotape,) and the happiness number was again frozen at all of my settlements. At this point I'm even scared to install an update to the mod in fear of it happening again lol
#Superpatch An Idea I had for waiting for things in the background to finish up, like the hud stats updating or assigning settlers or destroying/reseting plots. An idle animation like a spinning wheel progess bar or a vault boy tinkering away. Idk if it's possible just a thought to make people waiting in locations know there are things finishing up and have a visual that there is progress while waiting for the pop up notification
Could definitely be done - we have the hooks for it in Workshop Framework to make it much easier to inject progress meters - as seen in the vid when I run the optimize tool.
Does it have a patch to repair broken windows? Clearing up all the debris on the street?
I downloaded this so I did not have to micromanage settlements and did not have to build anything.... Loved the story and everything worked great...but I find having to micro manage the HQ tedious. I have to put out fires whilst trying to clean rooms.... I work, I ain't got time for micro managing. Is there a way to skip it all and just have a HQ I can enjoy, without all the energy balancing overly complicated boredom....
HQ is definitely not for everyone, and you can just ignore it once you get to it. Once we get to Chapter 3, we will a skip mechanism for it. For now, it's effectively the end-game loop until we get to C3.
@@kinggath thanks for the reply. I have loved the mod and just had a perfect play through. But the how to HQ bit onwards has broken me lol. We live in an era of instant gratification and it has spoilt us. I love the idea of it. I really want to get into it but unfortunately don't have the time, maybe an energy cheat for people who want to go through it all without the time. You are all doing an amazing job. Looking forward to what comes next. By the way there is a fire in my basement that can not be put out.
@@loysenoreilly3010 Oh I actually have those options baked in already. If you change the setting Override Timers to On, and then go into god mode with tgm. You can basically just spam build everything for free and each takes just a minute or two to complete.
@@kinggath oh cool. I am unfortunately a peasant playing on console so no God mode. I have managed to find how to reduce the time so will look into that when I am next one. Thanks.
Even though I haven't played F4 a few years, this is getting the I need to mod it and do an actual playthrough, hopefully sometime in the next few months. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this and possibly Starfield
#SUPERPATCH
question i know the first sim settlements has the conquest mod. but does this version have similar
(assuming you meant "Conqueror" and not "Conquest", those are different things)
Not yet, but Chapter 3 will very clearly be about war, so maybe then...
I can't wait to dig into this patch!!! Thanks for the awesome work! #superpatch
THE NEW QUEST ISNT WORKING FOR ME
ANYONE KNOW WHY
super excited to play this #superpatch I've really enjoyed everything SS2 has to offer.
Thank you thank you thank you for fixing the supply agreement issue for xbox omg I can finally build hq!
i’m playing sim settlements story right now and in martial law when aiden tells me to listen to the radio the radio doesn’t do anything?
#SUPERPATCH
Thanks for the mod and the video, kinggath. I just broke down and got Fallout 4 on PC from the Steam sale a couple weeks ago and I finally have it in a state (not with CC content on the XBOX) that I can play a big extended quest mods game (Sim Settlements 2, the Bleachers, Tales from the Commonwealth, and South of the Sea). I appreciate what you’ve done. Fallout 4 was always kind of an ultimate game for me and the Sim Settlements additions just made it better.
man. this morning i just checked the mod page and wondered why the next update was taking so long...
What is the point of HQ? How does it affect settlements or the wasteland?
Anyone know how to get the recruitment clipboard, cant see it in crafting and cant just send settlers to HQ normally.
I am pretty new to mods..my question is do I need to go upload/install the patches?
Downloaded the patches from Nexus, both are stating problems, "no archive" all saves corrupted so I had to delete. Went to start again but neither SS2 nor chapter 2 will install via Nexus (archive issue)
The issue seems to not be affecting everyone, which tells me it's like a problem with Nexus's network. I contacted someone I know there, and they suggested everyone with this issue report it to Nexus staff on their forums.
@@kinggath yeah it's saying server issue '500' I'll try again tomorrow morning.
Thx king gathered for the best mod in fallout! It keeps me playing despite all the years ! #SUPERPATCH
Would love for y'all to design a planet in Starfield, Space Sims or something
I guess the mechanics of HQ 2.0 has some bearing on the features that might be introduced in the next Chapter of SimSettlements 2, am I right?
There's definitely more than a few spots I can say with pretty high certainty that Chapter 3 will bolt even more mechanics into.
HQ ends up being the focal point for some of the C3 story - so pretty important we have the bugs worked out. That said - for folks who are not interested in HQ - we will have some skip mechanics available as we don't want to make this a gateway to the story - this is supposed to be a fun new sim for folks who want to build out their own faction and HQ.
Do I need to redownload the entire thing from nexus or is there an update tab somewhere.
Have an idea for sim settlements 2, I'm not really sure how it works cause I haven't downloaded it yet, still playing the first one and conquerer and I love it. The idea is though what if you have like a head council, either special npcs or like just the common settler, but you assign a leader to each section, like defense, power, food, houses, stuff like that, a leader for each section and then through them things get built, just a thought, not a fully flushed out idea
#Superpatch I had a bug that caused all settlers to be unassignable, this would also affect all your unique settlers and cause the ones who wander from place to place to continue doing so. This would sometimes lead to entire groups just wandering aimlessly on mass from place to place. It turns out this is a bug caused by the Unofficial FO4 patch that triggers an old since patched FO4 bug and may be not playing nicely with SS2s scripts. Though the patch you released will likely not effect what I had I’m thrilled to know a lot of people affected by UFO4Ps scripts will get a good workaround.
This mod is insane.
@kinggath, my HQ staff keep trying to extinguish fires, but they won't go out. Any thoughts? Playing on PC.
When will this all be in one download it takes up all of my space on Xbox to have ss2 and chapter 2
#Superpatch I'm eager to see the new updates in the patch. Mostly I hope the bugfixes clear out the energy problems, the caravan system and the hygiene system in the settlements. It's great that after such a long time Fallout 4 is out this mods is still expanding and alter the game to something new. Great thanks to kinggath and the whole tean for their dedication and constant work.
Would you ever think of releasing the plots to be used in settlement building without needing SS2
no clue what HQ is yet. i gottta fire up f4 again.
Would it be wise for me who has had quite a few bugs with my current save to wipe the game and Vortex and start with a totally new install of both to get the full benefits of all of the team and testers hard work? #SUPERPATCH
Hq got Hq plan like City Plan ? Easy mode basically
Sim Settlements really brought the game to life for me. Thank you! #SUPERPATCH
What fallout 4 version does sim settlements 2 require? Im playing on 1.10.163 and the magazine just wont appear
puttign the damned patch link in the description
might help
It is recommended a new save?
Soooo, i hope this improves the state my sanctuary is in... It's starting to break and corrupt because I made it too big 😅
Welp make it smaller.
@@thejugernautkiller390 I've had to do this with several settlements 😂 County Crossing is another one that needs to be kept relatively under control.
Man the HQ already feels like XCOM I'm impressed you can change Fallout 4 even more than that
Is there somewhere that lets you know what special stat are best for each department? Tried downloading the 2.2 update for SS2 and I'm getting a failed archive message from vortex.
When you go to assign to a department, the best stat will be listed first for each NPC in that screen.
Nexus seems to be having issues with their network delivery of files as some people are getting this issue and others aren't. Nexus staff suggested anyone having the issue report it on their forums.
@@kinggath Thank you.
#SUPERPATCH Something interesting: Having Deacon as my companion, he strips down to his undies while he is in HQ. Every other place I go he wears the appropriate costume (Minuteman Uniform, Lab coat, etc).
As for Workshop Framework, is there a separate mod for the override? Or do I need to adjust Vortex/Nexusmods setup to force it to being last in the load?
Oh an my Forum name is Et0hman.
So excited
"We would be here for an hour if we went through all that"
>53 minute video, I mean... not an hour I guess
Ha - or an 1 hour plus 53 minutes if I decided to go through all the rest. I still can't believe it took me as long as it did to cover the small amount of features I decided to focus on for the vid....
Add-On creators can create their own disasters, huh? Can't wait for the eventual add-on where, if you've made enemies with the Brotherhood in the main campaign, you have to defend HQ from a rampaging Liberty Prime.
Okay, on a more serious note, I did have a legit question about this. As I'm sure you're aware, a lot of people use mods such as "Place Everywhere" or "Scrap Everything". Now, I know that "Scrap Everything" can be bad if overused because it can remove things that aren't meant to be removed. I mainly use it to clean up corpses after attacks on a settlement, or to clean up the little things like the loose papers and small debris piles on the floor. (You would think that Fallout characters would think to use a broom at least once in the hundreds of years since the bombs fell) Would using something like that, in this manner, restricted to corpses and optionally debris decal, hurt anything in Sim Settlements? I don't want to remove parts of HQ, but I would like the option to remove the Bloatfly corpses myself or the broken bricks and loose papers on the floor. (I'd imagine the latter being possible to break things by accident, but what about just corpses?) Like I said, I wouldn't be removing HQ components, but the corpses are going to drive me insane. I already hate having to walk by the corpses at the bridge to Sanctuary, those never despawn and even with "Scrap Everything", they're outside the settlement borders and I can't reach them.
Also, does your optimization tool take vanilla mechanics into account? As far as I'm aware, Sim Settlements plots don't run off of the same storage as normal, so I'm not going to have surplus food and water in my workbench storage if I build additional Agriculture plots. I'm going to need the default crops and everything for that. If I optimize a settlement, will it take leftover settlers and auto-assign them to vanilla resources? Would it be possible to tell it what types of vanilla resources to use first when assigning, so I can either have them focus on food production for my own use or scrap to aid in construction and upgrading my gear?
The corpses should be gone the next time you come around.
We mostly just tell folks to watch out with scrap mods that break precombines, as it decimates performance and makes the navmesh work really poorly.
My bet would be the optimal assignment tool only accounts for plots, as remote loading other objects can be sketchy. As far as fine tooth control over assignment order, not currently- maybe in the future.
awe man, does this mean I get to start over AGAIN?
I mean you don't have to -but isn't a fresh character the best way to play a Bethesda game? ;)
W- a settlement menu in an internal cell?! YOU MAD MAN, YOULL BREAK THE GAME...I love you for it. (No homo)
Multiple cells even! I actually need to make a tutorial for how we set that part up, as could result in some really cool new settlement mods!
@@kinggath Oh hell yeah! can you imagine what kind of bullshit we could get away with if we colonized internal cells? we could clean up locations we have and actually fix the wasteland.
Are we safe to presume you WILL be doing some modding for StarField?
I mean hopefully they just out of the box do it all right and I won't need to and can just enjoy the game when it comes out... ;)
@@kinggath of course, you have to experience the game "all natural" at least once.
Has the supplie agreement bug been fixed?
We redesigned all of that code - and testers reported back very positively - so hopefully whatever was broken for you is fixed!
@@kinggath nice il have a look when I get home from work thanks for replying
Sim Settlements 2 made me want to play fallout 4 again #SUPERPATCH
#superpatch
This patch is either going to solve some of my issues, or make my pc explode.
So, the equip by department option, how does this work with the unique settlers? Can we have an option to exclude the unique settlers? And did you consider Katie the 10 year old nuclear physicist?
Unique settlers are automatically skipped by that system. Oh yeah, Katie is a little genius isn't she? It's always fun to see what stats different characters have - I find out in-game just like you guys do as the creative folks on the team decide that stuff.
@@kinggath ok, cool. I just wanted to make sure that exception was considered since my pc would likely explode if it tried to put adult cloths on a child 😂
@@Lordoftheapes79 We had a funny bug during dev of this patch where we were force equipping the fire extinguisher on everyone - it was even it equipping it on robots and infestation insects which would cause the extinguisher to stick out of their... rears. Now I wonder what will happen if someone sends a non-unique child NPC from a mod to HQ....
@@kinggath 😂 I'm kinda looking forward to finding out.
#Superpatch It's finally here, thanks for all the work you guys put it. That being said , it's time to create the ultimate SS2 mod list on nexus so we can easily download all the content! Now get to work - love NurbOfDoom
( I'm stupid and I solved it) Hey I love your mods but The flying on the workshop Plus stopped working and it's not mod interference because I tried to installing all other mods besides the one required to make it work and I'm trying to figure it out and it's been hours.
It also works on old save files but it does not work on my current one
Love SS 2 for the settlement building and NPC quests and storyline, but got totally burned out upon hitting the brick wall of HQ quests. The quest; Build More Living Quarters, second round, just destroyed any fun and blocked any advancement for me. No way of telling which rooms can be made into living quarters until you're already commited to cleaning/building a room, and no way to recruit extra workers without building the living quarters first. After eight rooms, and not winning the "lottery" with any of them being able to be turned into living quarters I just had to give up on the HQ and seeing any more storyline or unlocks.
FRANKLIN! HIS NAME IS FRANKLIN!!!
/backhanded slap
Scandal! Franklin is Katie's true father - Alex is just a cover.
Dose chapter 2 required a new game or is it an add on to sim 2
It's basically an addon/expansion pack. The story continues on from 'chapter 1', and more mechanics are added.
If you don't have a save from chap 1 then yea. It's a continuation of chap 1......Unless im stupid and King put in some type of chap 2 start option which i doubt.
@@Mustang1984 There are "cheat" options in the mod's Holotape to skip quests so you can start from where Chapter 2 starts, but you still *need* Chapter 1 installed as well.
@@yawgmothhiryuu Ahh well that's actually nice to know.
This mod is my headcanon Fallout 4
#Superpatch Cant wait to play tomorrow
Sorry for noob question, what is HQ?
A whole new sub-game unlocked late into Chapter 2 of SS2. Your 'team' ends up taking over a location and using it as the headquarters of effectively 'our' new faction.
Damn it.... the more I see the updates the more i want conqueror to have them.... then again would rather that they start with a mini hq that has to be built up instead with a traitor disaster that can be set off
#SUPERPATCH incredible work, thanks for keeping everything free! The quest and new mechanischs are really the bomb. Imagine if bethesdat would give you more access/info/support regarding the engine/background code.
I just have one bug with the mod. The mod menu is disabled because my game is v1.10.163 and v1.10.138 is expected. How can i fix this?
Keep the good work going! Cheers!
Is this avail in Xbox?
Yes - but usually should wait a day or two to try downloading it as the servers are super slow at making the file downloadable on xbox.
