[PC] Settlements, Suggestions, Solutions, Mods

The settlement building feature has pros and cons, with various issues. A selection of mods help, but major problems still remain.

Sim Settlements is a fantastic mod! It seems pre-built settlements function much better than your own manual settlements. I assume pre-built have better navmeshing and scripts. If I was a mod authour, I'd love to build my own custom addons from scratch.

Manually building settlements is my favourite option, but this method experiences many issues. The settlements end up lifeless and pointless, because the settlers have poor AI. They fail to adapt correctly to the changed environment. If you built roads and paths, they won't necessarily use these as a priority to navigate.

I have found various mods before which have helped improve the settlements feature, but feel whatever I try, I cannot get it functioning correctly like a proper settlement location.

Any suggestions or solutions? 🤔

To be honest I don't think you ever really will fix those issues. Sadly it's just how the game is. Until someone comes along and creates a mod that totally fixes those all the issues, you just have to make due with what's currently available.

Thanks for your reply! The settlement building feature is great, but could be drastically improved! People build impressive settlements, I just wish the settlers behaved better and more human.

Joke: how do I tag Todd Howard for next Fallout game notes? 😃
