✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (3,872 endorsements) — clearly solves a real annoyance for settlement builders.
- Tiny download, no bloat — just drop it in and your menu's back to normal.
- Still relevant years later (60k downloads) — proves it's a go-to for this specific bug.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might not cover newer DLC or mod-added categories, so test with your load order.
- No detailed description — you're trusting the endorsements over documentation.
- Only fixes missing categories; if you're after new build items, this isn't it.
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who've noticed missing menu tabs and want a quick, proven fix. Skip if you're on a heavily modded setup with custom menus — you might need a more comprehensive patch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod in your Data folder or use a mod manager — either works, but a manager makes it easy to disable if needed.
- If you use other settlement menu mods, load this one after them to ensure it overrides correctly.
- Since it's from 2016, check if your game version or DLC adds new categories — if so, this fix might not cover them.
