📋 About This Mod
From 2019 to 2020 I made a few faction packs for Sim Settlements 1 Conqueror and I plan to port all of those faction packs over to SS2 since its version of Conqueror in the form of SS2 Chapter 3 just dropped. But, lets be clear about this right now, my faction packs never included quests or anything special like that, they were simple mods that added new factions and their units for you to play with and that is what I'll be doing here in the form of including new Loadouts, Ranks, and Special units for you to play with.
Currently the Enclave and the US Army and Communist/Anarchist plugins are available so the mod is more or less feature complete.
If you have a suggestion for a new faction or for different weapons and armor for load out please leave a comment, I can't promise that I will be able to implement your suggest, but I will consider it.
Important Notes
All of the Plugins provided by this mod require a new game, I am sorry, things may change in the future, but there seems to be no way around it right now. If this is too much of an ask then please don't download this mod, I'll understand.
You must download the Faction Pack Injector in addition to whatever faction pack plugin or plugins you wish to download or else things will break because the Faction Pack Injectors injects Rank, Loadout, Special Unit, and Uniform data into the necessary formlists as opposed to direct edits. It doesn't matter which plugin or plugins you choose to download because the Faction Pack Injector also works as a patch between the faction pack plugins.
All Plugins are now ESP's, do not change them to ESL's or you will break the script injection.
If plan to use the enclave AR2 version or non AR2 version you can't use the T65 power Armor 4k version esp or else you'll have invisible armor parts so either replace the 4k version esp with the 2k version esp or just use the 2k version instead of the 4k version.
If the flags don't appear in your flag menu then you need to clear the flag cache in the City Manager 2078 Holotape; to do so open the holotape and select tools, then Advanced Tools, then Reset Settlement Flags Cache.If you plan to take advantage of the Uniforms option understand that if you change the default uniform all of your troops will be wearing that uniform which includes special units. If you only plan to use Default units and want to spice them up then the Uniform system wont mess things up, if you plan to use special units then the uniform system will cause problems, choose carefully.
There is a bug with power armored special units; for some reason soldiers keep leaving their power armor, but there is a fix. If you have a soldi

A solid content pack for SS2 players wanting more military flavor.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community support with 99 endorsements and over 10k downloads.
- Adds a solid chunk of content: 25 loadouts, 20 ranks, 17 special units, 20 uniforms, 8 flags.
- Fits right into SS2 Chapter 3, giving you more faction variety without overhauling the whole mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers three factions (Enclave, US Army, The People's) — if you wanted more, this won't scratch that itch.
- Last updated in February 2025, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest SS2 patches.
- Potential conflicts with other faction overhaul mods that touch the same loadouts or ranks.
For Sim Settlements 2 players who want to beef up their faction armies with new gear and ranks, especially if you're into Enclave or military roleplay. If you're not into SS2's military side or want a broader faction pack, this might be too narrow.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Sim Settlements 2 Chapter 3 installed, as this mod is built for it.
- If you're using other faction mods, load this one after them to avoid overwriting loadouts.
- Check the mod's forum page for any known compatibility notes with SS2 updates.
