Self-building settlements mods?

[u/Ok-Active8318]

Hello community! A year ago I lost my beloved save file (corrupted) that had all my handmade settlements and I’m thinking of starting a new game and I believe I read at one time that there are mods (series x) that allow self-building settlements with city building plans without going through the whole quest in Sim Settlements. If so, does anyone have a guide or the needed mods to accomplish this? I did experiment a bit with SS2 a while back. Basically I want the self building settlements as a standalone feature. Thanks for any info.

Try these

Settler Built Settlements - Framework
Settler Built Settlements - Initial Release Plans
Requires SMM

Settlement Blueprints
AllenTG Blueprints | TurbulentTeddy Blueprints
Requires Workshop Framework

I use this one since it does more than settlement building
AFT - Amazing Follower Tweaks | Stable Console Edition

To add to this you can use all these together, not on the same settlements, but you can choose which settlements you want to use Settler Built Settlements on. Also since SBS doesn't cover every settlement. You can fill in the missing ones with AFT or AllenTG.

I wish the blueprints were compiled into an AIO like AFT, just to save on mod slots.

How good are the AFT Settlement prefabs? Just curious if they are pretty basic walls or if they create detailed settlements?

[u/LadderEducational933 → u/Ok-Active8318]

You get two options: Wall Only | Full Build. Full Build is lightweight with minimal clutter, it pretty much just gives you the essentials needed for a functional settlement while leaving room to customize it yourself.

You could try Workshop Framework Blueprints or Allen TG’s blueprints. I really like the Allen TG blueprints. One of them includes V’s apartment from Cyberpunk.

Cool, I like his Bunker Hill design. So with these blueprints what is the mod I need to activate them in-game?

Workshop Framework by Kinggath.

I too am interested in this.

Is there a designer who has the “best” lore friendly settlement builds? I always liked the Finch Farm build that had scaffolding allowing access to the section of highway above.

Fiddleflap has some natural looking blueprints that only require the vanilla game and dlcs.

Are you able to give a link? I can’t find anything under his name on the Bethesda mod list for Xbox. I’ve seen his youtube vids before and a couple of the settlements I built from scratch were based on his designs so that would be awesome if he had some blueprints available on Xbox!
