Requires Sim Settlements
TLDR: First Official Expansion to Sim Settlements.
Adds new plot types and tons of new buildings to Sim Settlements. These buildings allow you to take control of your settlement and begin constructing the things you need to conquer the wasteland. Inside many of these buildings are secrets to discover to help you on your adventuring.
Continuing the goals of Sim Settlements, Industrial Revolution aims to greatly expand the number of jobs available to your settlers and lays the foundation for your settlements to have a massive impact on your gameplay outside. It also introduces more in-depth game-play for those who want to micro-manage, while maintaining the simplicity of the plot-based building.

Sim Settlements adds a new way to build your settlements that is a lot faster than vanilla, but the settlements still feel disconnected from the rest of the game and generally don't matter much in the grand scheme of things.
With version 1 of Sim Settlements, the mod provided a new way to build settlements, allowing you to lay out a master plan, but letting the Settlers handle the details. With version 2, and the Industrial Revolution expansion, Sim Settlements gives you the tools to take finer control over your settlers and get them producing the things you need.
