I'll be honest, I used the same Description layout as BlueSin, Since I'm not great at formatting.
A simple text file that triples the settlement build limit in Fallout 4. With 57,664 endorsements and 1.7M downloads, it's a proven, lightweight solution for builders who hit the cap. Last updated in 2018, but still widely used.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community approval (57,664 endorsements) — this is the go-to fix for settlement limits.
- Dead simple: drop a text file in and you're done, no mod manager fuss.
- Works for all settlements, so you can finally finish that mega-build without hitting the cap.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- No detailed instructions or troubleshooting in the description, so you're on your own if something goes wrong.
- Only triples the limit; if you need more, you'll have to look elsewhere.
For Fallout 4 builders who constantly hit the settlement size cap and want a quick, no-nonsense fix. Skip if you're on the latest game version and worried about compatibility, or if you need more than 3x the budget.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the text file in your Fallout 4 Data folder, not the main game folder.
- If you're using mods that alter settlement budgets, load this one last to avoid conflicts.
- Test in a small settlement first to confirm the increase works before starting a huge build.
