    I feel fortunate that I've never cared about getting happiness to 100%. To me, there are two happiness values, 0% and good enough.
    That said, I usually end up with most of my settlements at around 80%, because meeting basic needs of food, water, shelter, and defense is so easy.

    • @xxXXRAPXXxx
      @xxXXRAPXXxx 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yea i mean if 100% does fuckall for me i won't bother (like if it doubled caps/scrap produced in the settlement if you have 100% then it could be useful. Also with production limits removed.). So i usually go for the base things and call it a day for most of my settlements but the biggest ones (30 + people.) then i just put some nuka world drug machines so i benefit from free drugs and better happiness (i have a mod that unlocks all of that shit because i won't rush through nuka world just to unlock some stuff that would be locked again if i killed all the raiders which is kinda forced on you though the rest of the whole game and far harbor [as in base game and that dlc you are the "good guy" or fuck off. Those are your options basically]).

    • @phildicks4721
      @phildicks4721 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yeah, there is no real incentive for raising happiness to 100%. I figure as long as I make sure their food, beds, water, and defense needs are met, then its good enough. I might add a restaurant or clinic for added happiness, but that's it.

      @jessikapiche6097 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Still playing and enjoying this game myself, i love trying to set my settlement so there is no bottleneck and that people can move around freely, and reach 80% happiness. But that is about it. For me, it is utmost important that there is 2 sets of stairs, side by side, to reach a major 'trafic' area like a dormitory place (for exemple). Security is important, but i think many builders go overboard with turrets and that is not realistic. Oil is a scarce ressource. I think people should be able to defend themselves so i provide them with a good gun when they 'arrived' and i immediately assign them a bed and workplace. I had no idea it had an influence in 'happiness' though. i just thought it makes sense to do that. I also put 'straw pillow' on all beds until i recently realized they just push them away when they get to sleep... lol ;) Very cool game i think it is underrated, but it is also a big lost opportunity to make it GREAT. I wish the game was more 'serious' about the simulation part...and was better on the story side as well. But it is still the most relaxing and fun game when you add everything you can do in it...

      @@phildicks4721 There is an achievement for the first time the player reaches 100% Happiness at a settlement but yeah the effort to reach it really isn't worth the effort once you have it and there isn't any real benefit past 80% since at that point the settlement is producing extra food and water and there are stores/services available that the player can take advantage of. Even if you neglect some of the settler needs it's pretty easy to keep it out of danger territory (especially in preestablished settlements since beds are usually unscrappable and it's worth keeping a hand pump around for the player to use) though Sanctuary can actually be at 0% Happiness without any consequence even in Minutemen playthroughs.

    For an easy 100 Happyness for the achievement Go to Red Rocket, call1 settler or send them here. Give them a bar (basic one will do) and harvist the crops from Finch and put them into the workbench. Finally drop a water pump. If you want to speed it up add the workout machines (+2 happy), a cat (+1 happy) and a dog (+1 happy). Unlike what they say in the video only the weightbench and pommel horse is vanilla.
    If you get the 88 quest items do not take options what can kill your settlers. This quest gives you the exercise bike, the Soda Fountain, and the eye machine. Since you need to 'work' at the Eye Mach and Soda Fountain they wont work well for this. But they are good. Get the Drugged Water / Caffinated Water option for the soda machine. The drugs make them happy but lazy. The gambling machine is the final reward - settlers will use it in their free time to increase happyness like the barbell and pommel horse.
    You get the Drug vending machine from the Raider quests. Their shops are treated like normal ones - so a booze stall in a settlement run by the Minute Men will become a bar. Their incredibly valuable as they slowly generate drugs you can collect. I like running 10 of them in my home base. They also have Booze stills that make money - and Nuka raiders dont mind working to make booze (It is deposited in your workbench).
    Finally there is a tribute chest. One of your settlers must guard the chest and it makes rewards every so often with a chance of a legendary. It a little weird but I say their donations. :)
    Oh also Sim Settlements 2 has an option to turn off your settlements leaving. In fact you can spend a few minutes setting up then wander off and your settlers will build themselves a home.

      This is 100% false. Synth settlers have been tested extensively and have no affect on settlements. They act and behave identically to humans jn every way. In fact, killing synth settlers _negatively_ impacts happiness because _you've killed a settler_ . Synth settlers aren't "institute spies," they won't "start killing your settlers," they don't "bring down settlement happiness," or anything that human settlers don't do normally. It's all myths and they've all been disproven. Synth settlers, in game mechanic terms, _are_ human settlers, except for the fact that the "IsSynth" modifier is tagged during random generation and a hidden synth component is added to their inventory. That's the one and only singular difference they have from human settlers.

    • @NickC_222
      @NickC_222 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      ​​@@1cornicon679 The "VATS resistance check" method is another myth. People have used console commands to remove all clothing (to make sure the resistance difference isn't from some piece of clothing,) so they have no resistances, killed them, and still find synth components.
      The fact is: synth settlers are 100% _completely_ indistinguishable from, and identical to, human settlers. Actually, they _are_ human settlers, just with an "IsSynth" modifier tagged and a hidden synth component in their inventory.
      The whole synth settler thing is just for role-playing, really. There's literally zero difference between human and synth settlers aside from the hidden synth component.

    Hmm. My only real nod to "Immersion" when it comes to settlers is to try and at least leave an access space between the beds I pack into the multi level stilted 3x3 block of open plan flats (Apartments) I habitually slap in every settlement. They take very little ground space away for crops, can have 10+ beds per level, and with a band of 1/4 sized floor panels around the outside of one of the floors I've got a convenient shelf to fill up with gun turrets so they can cover a good amount of the surrounding land.
    If a settlement ends up getting really big, these buildings also lend themselves pretty well to getting the walls of the top couple levels knocking out and being "Mushroomed" into 5x5 spaces up there.
    As some may have gathered, for me, the main point of the game is about exploring, and shooting up any area where I hear someone say anything along the lines of "Hey..... I hear something....... Who's there?". I'm not much into the whole logistical management side of things.

    @XSilver_WaterX 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    another way to gain happiness is by doing defense quest as you get the message of one of your settlements being attacked, in my case a scary load of Mutant Bombers and Mama Deathclaws, thankfully not together. If you quickly fast travel to the location of the attack, you can give the people hope and happiness of squishing the invaders. If the counter-invasion is successful, you can gain a permanent 40 points to your happiness factor and could stay there if you had the Unofficial patch, without the mod, the 40 points will reset any time another attack happens on the same settlement. Forcing you to do the defense quest again! A trick is learning the spawn directions of the attacks and making a death-box contraption to funnel the attacks while using either turrets or zapp-beacons in that death-box, i.e. concrete 4 x 5 x 3. make concrete windows FIRST if using turrets!

    Unless you like zipping back/forth across the map all the time its much easier to pick 3-4 hubs that has more tenants and just use the other locations as barren pass throughs to link your supply lines. Made my life a lot easier by not having to maintain happiness let alone defend settlements in late game. It also saves you time/resources to focus on a few settlements versus them all.

Place one of these down, its tuned to Diamond City Radio, wait 2 in game days, and boom happiness is at 100.

    just in case: water purification, i put five plants in the river at sanctuary fairly early in my game, and soon i was selling enough water to have ten and as many as i could fit in nearby streams in other settlements, i actually found this easier, quicker and less XP involved than other suggestions i've seen for manufacturing stuff. it's got to the point where i make more water than i can spend and i have limited but unlimited ammo.

    Yeah right. its all true, but, the system is even more complex. You made it look easy to get a 100% happiness. Mostly not even possible if you stack up with settlers in a settlement. The lower the amount of settlers the easier it gets to have 100%. Just one settler asigned to a bar and a Junkyard guard dog. Will bring your settlement to 100% (almost) immediately. Note that this settlement needs a suplyline from another setlement. The most of already occupied settlements will never reach a 100% happiness.
    Sanctuary; As long you do not have Marcy and Jun Lung it is possible to get 100% even with 20+ settlers. If you have them, you cant have 100% or just for a second or so. Potplants and rugs, yeah they give some happiness. You need a mountain of those items to create just 1%. The use of pummelhorses, liftbenches and animals is capped. (sorry I don't know the exact amount). You can have unlimmited amounts, but they won't count if you've reached the cap.
    The kicker; you don't need 100% or just for a second to have the trophy. Keep your settlements above 80% though.

    many important details weren't mentioned. Most extra happiness is a fix number divided by the population. So if you have 1 settler 1 dog gives a lot. For 10 10 times less. So for 10+CHA max population settlement you need tons of everything, since every bonus is divided. Cats and dogs shall rule! But there is also max limit one type can give, having 100 cats won't work.

So i would not bother with settlers (and just do a water farm) or just use the mod to remove it completely. There is too many bullshit radiant quests in this game anyway (more than 1 is already too much). (mod is "NSA No Settlement Attacks" works for me without any problems.).

I think it's a bug but it still tries to calculate the happiness at the bugged amount (so there probably aren't enough beds, food, water, or jobs and that drops the average happiness) until the player is close enough to the settlement for it to recalculate to the actual amount. Even when I'm doing everything right I rarely can get a settlement's happiness above 90% it seems.
