r/SimSettlements

I tried to post this on the official forum but I've been getting an error message there for days so maybe someone here can help me?

I built the Ice Cream and Power Armor plot by Myrmarachne. I used the luck option to successfully repair the machine but I can't make ice cream. I cooked up the stuff to make the Lemon Ice Cream and tried putting it in the ice machine, since the only interaction option I get is transfer, but it just disappeared. I let it level up to level 3 an still get no other interaction. (I'm not entirely sure what I SHOULD be getting here.) I thought maybe that plot was glitched so I built another one in a different settlement and let it level up to 3 but I can't interact with it, either.

How, exactly, it is supposed to work? Do I interact with the machine or the assigned worker. The worker just seems to sell power armor stuff and I don't even use power armor.

What, exactly, does the dlc settlers patch do? What happens if I don't have it? I'm only playing chapter 1 so I don't have outposts or HQs, if that matters.

I was exploring the ocean with the water layer turned off (ToggleWaterSystem for anyone who wants to do the same it's pretty fun just make sure to use god mode) and found a huge cargo ship underwater.

I was swam down and saw there was a door to get in and immediately thought "wait if this was vanilla I definitely would have heard about it" so I went inside, heard an overhead PA system line and then checked the wall's ID and realized it was from a mod. Checked my mod manager and it's chapter 2. Now I've been pretty spoiled on the storyline of SS2 and don't actually mind spoilers but I have NEVER heard anyone talk about this

I completed the previous one - "The Hunt for Boris" - long ago. But on the wiki page I discovered that there's a whole quest chain after that...

But the next quest just won't start. Caleb is in his home but just won't talk to me. I tried to force this quest to start by a console command - but nothing happens.

Is there a known cure for this or am I cooked?

It just won't start. I had problems with the previous quest too, but I finished it a long time ago and can't remember the details. I chose "lawful justice" path I think.

Lena Forseti for some reason won't come back to the CPD HQ. She's just hanging out in Lexington, standing there doing nothing.

Also I don't know if BADTFL should be renamed into CPD HQ, because that's what I read - but it stays BADTFL for me. There are some CPD officers inside - but for some reason raiders still spawn alongside them.

And well, I tried to start it using console commands. Won't work either. Hellhounds won't spawn outside, Simon isn't interactable. When progressed by commands further - hellhounds spawn inside, but officers still just hang out there.
And well, Lena Forseti isn't there: at the stage "talk to the captain" and "rescue Lena Forseti" nothing happens. No quest markers, can't talk with Simon, even though I killed the hellhounds. Can't progress further.

Is there a way to somehow "repair" this? Reverting to previous save is not possible.

I seem to have hit a glitch in the Corporate Espionage quest.

I have retrieved the bill of sale and fixed the water purifier and returned to talk to Lydia. The conversation starts, but it it doesn’t progress past the initial greeting. Lydia, Alice,  and the sole survivor stand around.

Is there a work around or a simple way to fix the issue.

I finished It Came From Planet X, got the popup saying I'd unlocked Franklin's Martian Memorabilia by Tinuvia, sent them to Sunshine Tidings and built them their special house. They've moved in so I tried to build the store for Franklin but it doesn't show up in my list of commercial plots. I assigned him to the plot and refreshed the plot cache but it still isn't there. Please help.

I am using the "Vaulted Vault 88 - Sim Settlements 2 City Plan Contest Winner October 2021" City plan and all the corresponding mods in the old, pre-NG fallout 4.

The issue I am having is that settlers assigned to jobs will barely work in Vault 88. One settler, for example, sat at her desk for 10 seconds (entrance of Vault 88), stood up then went to seat in a random chair in another room.

Another issue I am running into, is that the Mr. Handy that comes with the laundry plot in "SS2 Superstructures" just stops working randomly and wants to leave the plot.

I googled about this issue and there seems to be 3 common responses to this issue;

1. Vault 88 is too big, which makes it so that settlers don't interact with a lot of plots - People recommended downloading Settler Sandboxing expansion mods, which I did, but did not really seem to fix anything.
2. Vault 88 is bugged for other reasons besides the sandboxing and settlers don't behave correctly there - You can't fix it.
3. There are too many other animation markers and entertainment plots, which according to some people, have higher priority than their job in the settlers' AI. In other words, the settlers are prioritizing all the other plots and leaving their jobs for last. - I could not find a fix for this.

My other settlements seem to be working fine, and settlers actually work, but maybe this has to do with the fact that they are poorly built and there are no city plans, animation markers or barely anything other than their stores.

I want to know if there are other people experiencing this issue in Vault 88, what is the reason behind this issue, and if there is a fix for this.

So I set up my sim settlement in Santuary, completely automated. When i go to refresh the plan or set a new leader, it does the reset but when it says its finished, it looks....off. Like its not done. Floating power couplers, walls without foundations, half built rooms with roofs and now walls, and a complete lack of decorations and plots. Ive been searching for answers for like 3 hours now but everything is talking bout SS2 and I really prefer SS1. Im a few hours into this playthrough and Id prefer trying to fix it as upposed to starting over with SS2.
