    Huge support for the work you've done with this mod! ❤

    If you can't see the Hudframework Resource HUD you need to turn Crosshairs to ON or it will not display. I spent way too much time troubleshooting what was a simple solution in the end. This video helped me figure out how to move the resources GUI from the middle of the screen. Thank you!
  • These guides have been very informative for me as a builder in fallout 4. I like having the ability to use both building aspects in my settlements. Mashing both personal buildings and SS2 plots is a great way to make city plans look even more busy even if you use a small city plan. Thanks for all the work you have been doing.
  • New to this mod! Amazing and love it! Quick question I haven’t been able to find an answer to. Once you unlock an advanced farm per se, will the city plan automatically upgrade to one and reassign a settler with the correct skill? Or do I need to manage that myself?
  • Thanks for the guide! Do unemployed people pay taxes (money for dwelling ss2 houses)? Is there an option "recruit only if house/job is available"?
  • Is the standard Food category green because you're linked to other settlements that are making up the difference?
  • @tanks4nuthin964
    To this day I still can’t fix the issue I have with food. Food at every settlement is fine but HQ is waaaaay in the red and every settler i have complains about no food even though their settlement is fed

    Jack doesn’t turn up for me at all. Get to Sanctuary find the magazine kill the bloatflies and radroaches build the signal. Do I have to talk to Codsworth before I build or not have any other mods?
  • @dianecurtis9586
    Why does it take so long to build? I'm at Abernathy farm and I choose a city plan and I have been floating for 10 min.?
  • @Grazysworld
    Where is a guide of all the symbols explained ? Smiley face I know but sometimes I have a red unhappy face and I have no idea for what it means... You see this a lot with outposts would be use full to know how to cope that ...
  • @Yhorm
    I want to play with crosshair off its so disgusting could you fix this one day please?
  • @pricelessppp
    How do I install sim settlements 2 and it’s whole chapters and expansions?
  • @renaigh
    I get why people like this mod, it automates a lot of what they didn't enjoy about the vanilla game, but speaking as a contrarian to what's popular a big part why Fallout 4 is my all time favourite game was being able to play as the one who maintains a communities accommodations with little appreciation. It's a perspective no game has truly ever even attempted to show and it bugs me that Bethesda was too caught up in trying to appease older fallout fans to commit to their own potential as designers.
