Ideas for Sim Settlements 2 as submitted to our Feature Upvote board. Ideas are ordered by 'new' and the 50 top matches are included. pr_uhymucejq84oqcu 2024-05-08T08:12:20Z sug_vgwgpdjo3n4flj7 2024-04-24T17:16:07Z 2024-04-24T17:23:50Z The 999 that shows up on the UI as costs is a quirk with behavior that Bethesda added for the Virtual Workshop CC feature, which is what the new HQ system uses for automation. It simply acts like a "god mode", allowing the player to queue up tasks without having to wait around in realtime for the required resources. These projects still have costs - however, the automation system means that the projects will be carried out automatically once these resources become available. If something appears to be stuck, or you're wondering why it's not building, then the first step is to check the task list for the department that handles the project and check costs. It should show you if you are lacking something, such as department energy or caps - and once you fulfil that requirement, it will be eligible to build. If you prefer the old HQ system of only carrying out tasks when you currently have the resources already to do so, you can turn off the setting "commands use task list". sug_ujhbn2lvqkqg8lp 2024-05-10T21:19:47Z 2024-05-29T22:40:28Z It is possible for the power distribution room to be built/cleaned early - before MQ27 even triggers. The quest does not recognise this and thus breaks. The room was cleaned, refreshing the room doesn't fix things. I tried to just upgrade power regardless but despite it appearing on the task list, it gets ignored, and remains in command mode. Current workarounds until fix: remove "'clean space for power distribution room" from task list before it is actioned. Or: If the room has been clean AND built, run: setstage SS2C2_MQ27 5 Note: this won't work if the room was cleaned but not built. sug_jhjebvaet9vlla7 2024-05-10T15:19:44Z 2024-05-10T15:19:59Z Note that while clicking on the seat still wearing PA allows the meeting to begin, this feels unnatural, because vanilla chairs do not allow players to wear PA whilst sitting down. As a result, players entering the room wearing PA will likely take it off out of habit. The PA remains in the meeting when it commences, but is removed permanently afterwards. sug_mndn4ql3n8y9ogk 2024-05-10T09:05:03Z 2024-05-10T09:05:02Z Any time Algernon is teleported in, he says "damn that was deep" as if he was injured. Happens notably during Martial Law (Overseer's office) and pre-GNN battle in MQ22. sug_3sqwjiurcxskue5 2024-05-08T11:36:30Z 2024-05-08T11:36:29Z There is supposed to be another invasion wave if players took all territories and/or Outposts before the associated quest objectives trigger during State of War. I can confirm that this does not currently appear to be functional. sug_fw5vrht3eyquwcw 2024-05-07T09:48:17Z 2024-05-07T09:48:51Z The player will receive exp seemingly randomly, and then everyone turns hostile. Potentially this bug is related to having followers with the player, as this seems to be a common factor amongst reports, but does not seem to be caused by followers initiating combat (the workers appear to start the fight). If you are experiencing this problem, and you know how to replicate it or have any other insight, please comment with your experience. sug_h18skexw310nlyc 2024-05-07T08:49:01Z 2024-05-07T09:25:30Z To skip State of War, you still need to do some assaults, as these are the triggers for certain quests. You should be able to just jump in from wherever you are in the current questline (on a save before console commands were used if you did so - this is extremely important as there is no telling what adverse effects might have been accidentally introduced by doing this): Full instructions cannot fit in this issue - please follow the guide outlined on this post here: https://simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/state-of-war-help-needed.30422/post-208243 Simplified version: 1. Use holotape to skip to specific quest, then do not touch it again. 2. Launch an assault (Outpost OR territory, either is fine for all of these) - trigger quest. 3. Launch an assault - trigger quest. 4. Complete quest manually (It's In The Refrigerator). 5. Launch an assault - trigger quest. 6. Ignore State of War, it will eventually auto-complete. sug_foetdrtafalh8wu 2024-05-06T21:09:16Z 2024-05-08T11:36:54Z There have been several reports that if the player takes all Gunner Outposts early on, then it stops State of War progressing, and Gunner's Daughter triggering. This cannot be replicated in a test environment. Some of the issue may be that it can be difficult to tell the Outposts apart - please see the attached picture. For stuck xbox players, search for the issue on here relating to holotape skipping State of War, if you wish to do this. If you are a PC user, you can enable papyrus logging and use this to see which Outposts are still under Gunner control. Into console, type: cqf ss2c3_mq32 DumpLamontEmpire This will dump useful information into: Documents/My Games/Fallout4/Logs/Script/User/SS2Empire.0.log You can see the remaining Gunner-controlled Outposts that you might have missed by searching for the line: ControlledLocations_Settlements: This will provide you with the location IDs for the Outposts you still have left to assault. sug_onqdmt23dzwmrih 2024-05-04T21:10:24Z 2024-05-04T21:10:23Z Seems to be caused if the courier's dialogue/greet is interrupted, e.g by initiating dialogue with another NPC. The letter is added to the player's inventory, but the quest doesn't appear in the pip-boy, so there is no indication of what to do or where to go. The courier will give his dialogue when interacted with, but it doesn't make the quest trigger. The quest is actively running - it just appears "invisible". sug_wqberi5htenawpx 2024-05-04T21:06:55Z 2024-05-04T21:06:55Z Muriel can be moved to another settlement if the player chooses, as intended. Neil, however, cannot be moved from HQ. sug_a5au46qlyqsskuj 2024-05-04T21:02:37Z 2024-05-04T21:02:37Z It is possible for Wes and the other Gunners to turn immediately hostile. Wes will tell everyone to lower their weapons. As soon as the doors are open, the assaultron attacks and all the Gunners including Wise turn hostile. Wise continues to attack even when everyone else is killed, and after he is downed. sug_wns4z9lyaqjnnjx 2024-05-02T06:03:35Z 2024-05-02T06:03:34Z These are completely inaccessible if you picked up the Gunner Note and chose to give it to Mansfield. The note is never removed from the player's inventory and the dialogue option as a result never disappears. sug_xx7ccgdxo6qq1dj 2024-04-29T19:37:40Z 2024-04-29T19:37:39Z The waterfall rocks are missing, along with some other assets nearby. This results in a very bare, strange-looking area. sug_e7ii8fc0gmrlzzz 2024-04-29T19:08:38Z 2024-04-29T19:08:37Z Missing CPD assets at the meeting place on the docks. There is also a large rock there. sug_iverexu2ambzwia 2024-04-29T18:14:37Z 2024-04-29T18:14:36Z Strange red mist in the entrance of the SS2 hijacked version of Custom House Tower. sug_skyybpoyfqtxokm 2024-04-29T15:58:28Z 2024-04-29T15:58:28Z There is no option to change your Capital City unless you place down a war planner's desk, don't convert to an outpost, and then from there use the 'manage empire - make capital city' options. If you select a city with Charlotte, this option never comes up if you go to your non-capital settlements. If you decline to select with her, then go to a settlement, you get the 'establish a capital city' option at the desk as intended. However you never get that option again once you've established it the first time. sug_1pjahdglqplfzsp 2024-04-26T16:03:14Z 2024-04-27T05:54:58Z Allison was stop in the corridor on the way to the parking garage because one of the three radroaches fails to spawn, remaining underground. It must be killed via console commands. sug_73aopc2gklltdca 2024-04-26T15:17:40Z 2024-04-27T05:56:32Z If the player opens the vent, but a radroach interrupts the scene, the quest breaks. The vent cannot be activated/entered and dialogue is usually disrupted. sug_1frv0pmgco3jj2n 2024-04-26T08:20:03Z 2024-04-27T05:57:57Z There have been some reports that if the location randomly selected for this quest is the house near East City Downs, the door does not appear, and console commands are required to enter. We have been unable to replicate this thus far in a test environment. Please provide additional information, or ideally, save files that can be accessed for investigation (note: heavily modded games may have unusable save files). If you are unable to share in the comments, please post the save file on the forums and tag @twolargepepperoni sug_6g8fsrmkgmvu7xu 2024-04-26T08:12:36Z 2024-05-29T22:41:55Z After "meet with Allison", there should be a quest objective pointing the player towards Lydia. This appears to be missing, which can cause confusion as to how to proceed. sug_doondpaqscvqmq4 2024-04-26T07:42:05Z 2024-04-27T06:00:59Z Allison's Payslip remains in the player's inventory. sug_fyhy3v4sow7fbfx 2024-04-25T22:57:32Z 2024-05-21T19:22:33Z After an Assault, corpses remain at Outposts indefinitely. sug_s3ij1tjcls3ijas 2024-04-25T22:36:31Z 2024-04-27T06:02:52Z The research molerat disease vaccine project appears to remain in the player HQ inventory. It appears that it was successfully completed, as the information is stated in the database, but it remains in the inventory indefinitely. sug_ksxyw35jalmtaiv 2024-04-25T17:51:25Z 2024-04-27T06:04:44Z Charlotte says she will offer the player a trade agreement for food supplies, in addition to her current scrap and supplies. She currently does not offer this. sug_dtai5d84s63jfoy 2024-04-25T13:40:31Z 2024-04-27T06:06:25Z Fiona shows up at Advisor Meetings, even before the player strikes up an official alliance with the Nightingales. sug_dupwvr1gbxcbgho 2024-04-25T12:01:17Z 2024-05-29T22:42:15Z If everyone in the station is killed before the Emins are freed from the prison cell, Simon becomes a permanent follower. sug_uzgnpsamkndwgtu 2024-04-24T11:23:09Z 2024-04-24T17:13:01Z One of the objectives requires you to capture multiple territories (Oberland Station, Forest Grove Marsh, Federal Ration Stockpile, Lexington, and Fort Hagen Satellite Array). After doing so, sometimes the quest markers remain, and it may seem like the quest is stuck. SOLUTION: Launch an additional assault at any territory after you have assaulted each of these locations. This should allow things to recalculate and trigger the next part of the quest objective. sug_pf7q918nb9aasea 2024-04-23T11:23:48Z 2024-04-27T05:36:47Z The scanning bay and welding bench do not correctly build, possibly due to an overlapping issue with the stations pre-3.3.0. This results in the projects remaining in the task list indefinitely. sug_2mlkbv3w2cuaohd 2024-04-23T11:01:07Z 2024-04-27T05:31:33Z This project does not get automated, and must be tasked by the player. sug_uvix8qubtxrdm5w 2024-04-23T09:29:30Z 2024-04-27T05:37:58Z This room gets stuck in the construction state indefinitely when selected. sug_mhrguqsvomaztfy 2024-04-23T08:45:43Z 2024-04-27T05:38:54Z sug_vvscqyxu2vyud5u 2024-04-22T13:02:33Z 2024-04-27T05:33:15Z The alternative activation option to cure sick settlers or injured soldiers by using the player's medic perk appears to be missing. Currently, the only way for the player to actively treat them is by paying the cost with chems. sug_4qzpeedkgjeyho3 2024-04-21T21:42:47Z 2024-05-21T19:23:28Z The makeshift infirmary cannot be changed to one of the improved types. These plans appear to sit in the task list, but do not actually ever build. sug_ptosdaw2lutifpc 2024-04-21T21:33:24Z 2024-04-27T05:42:53Z Some executable tasks are not supported by the HQ system. They should be able to be manually tasked, however if the player attempts to do so via the command mode, nothing happens. These actions include: - ASAM Missionary Mission - Establish New City - Make Contact Mission sug_4x13yjtjvpkrfem 2024-04-21T21:16:22Z 2024-04-25T12:20:41Z Rather than crossing the street to his store when leaving the church, Jake instead paths up the stairs of the church. He eventually teleports to the store. This is due to Bethesda's NPC pathing - as a result, a fix is unlikely. It should not cause any problems, beyond looking a little strange. sug_g3g56m1yzet0fdn 2024-04-21T21:10:48Z 2024-04-27T05:34:08Z All of Algernon's dialogue after the player successfully takes over GNN is not firing. Algernon gives generic greeting lines instead e.g "hello?" "Yeah?" sug_wnflq6kmg4haamy 2024-04-21T20:36:05Z 2024-04-24T03:30:19Z The bargain and flirt options throughout this quest appear to be broken currently, meaning that players will always fail. sug_ygfddrcu3eunyu0 2024-04-21T07:15:34Z 2024-04-27T05:44:33Z Various NPCs remain idling in Quincy after the battle, and stay there indefinitely. This may be more than an aesthetic issue if any of the NPCs provide quests. sug_gwqhldlzhpcf93y 2024-04-21T07:12:10Z 2024-04-27T05:35:10Z Katelyn can successfully be moved to another settlement if the player decides to move her after they've already been sent somewhere else. Laura remains at the 'old' settlement. sug_hllajez1wojvy0c 2024-04-21T07:06:37Z 2024-04-27T05:45:29Z After selecting an Outpost in the prompt when skipping past this quest, the chosen settlement is not converted. Placing a war planner's desk gives the 'convert to outpost' prompt. sug_njwzwcupfrck5zy 2024-04-21T07:00:07Z 2024-04-27T05:46:10Z Using the cheat holotape to 'force complete quest' (NOT 'skip to xyz quest') during the 'wait period' between quests that have them, skips the entire questline. Example: using this function before Memory Lane triggers (e.g if it is 'taking too long' or fails to trigger due to mod conflicts) etc, skips immediately to Commonwealth Rising, bypassing the rest of Chapter 1 and skipping all of Chapter 2. It then completes Chapter 3 up to State of War/Under One Banner. sug_ssizeojf5rthqb3 2024-04-21T06:51:43Z 2024-04-27T05:48:01Z Replaying Cain's Holotape causes Prodigal to restart after quest completion. sug_bdrbupvj8dcor4i 2024-04-21T06:34:27Z 2024-04-27T05:49:28Z City plans seem to get stuck in cinematic mode if plot costs are on and the player can't afford them. sug_nn95jbgoaruadsy 2024-04-21T06:17:49Z 2024-04-23T05:48:21Z In the Research and Development area, the armor workbench can only modify the pip-boy, with no other options showing up. Other workbenches in this room are functioning correctly. sug_qfwt4osces6etfv 2024-04-21T06:14:47Z 2024-04-23T05:48:32Z When accessing the Armor Lab's "Lab Services", it successfully calls a Researcher, but then there are no options to research or build anything. sug_mjb6mc4hozf3gfy 2024-04-21T06:05:38Z 2024-04-27T05:51:13Z This setting is unreliable, and may function briefly before not working again. In order for me to get it to work, I had to first assign a skilled NPC to a plot to trigger the advanced plots to show up. But each NPC after that, even when unskilled, had the advanced option show. This then stopped working again a short while later. sug_foxd5blsoooemm6 2024-04-21T05:55:38Z 2024-04-27T05:51:57Z April Li is supposed to appear after Old Guns is completed. Her radio quest trigger is non-functional, so the only way to obtain her is to find her is for The Ron to point her out, otherwise she is disabled. sug_sc9zwcqoetbe5ok 2024-04-21T05:44:42Z 2024-04-27T05:53:30Z Entering the boat appears to make the screen foggy and washed-out. Reloading the save fixes it. First entering, the fog doesn't seem correct, instead the whole environment appears grey/foggy (first pic). Reloading fixes the visual defect, but the audio is still bugged and may take several more reloads to work correctly (initially muffled and silent, including voices).
