📋 About This Mod
Simple Settlements (up to level 4) for Sims Settlements, ROTC, and Conquerors. The plans are for Sanctuary, Red Rocket Truck Stop, Tenpines Bluff, Abernathy Farm, and Starlight Drive In. They are designed to focus on simplicity of being below the build limit, have a upfront crafting station, and still be challenging in conquerors.
When the City reach level 3 they are typically about 50% of the build limit, so you can continue building and decorating as much as you want.
They will level from 0 to 3 like any other ROTC City and each level has been balanced. I purposely did not use alot of addon to keep the build cost low. You should be able to run any addon you want and change any of the ASAM as you please.
For CONQUERORS
Defense has been balanced for each level and since the plans are below the build limit you should not have any trouble with them loading quicker then most plans. Built with conqueror in mind so you can use Sanctuary and Red Rocket Truckstop will not effect any of the vanilla quests.
Should not be an issue since they are all below the build limit. Feel free to use Abernathy, Red Rocket. and Sanctuary together.
ALTERNATIVE USE
They are designed to be outpost friendly for conquerors so you might use other Cities Plans in other areas and just use one of the plans to operate your outpost so your main HQ isnt over the build limit and has a friendly player workshop and bed.
4-5 PLANS A WEEK

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community traction with 534 endorsements and over 8.6k downloads.
- Covers five popular settlement locations, giving you a solid starting set.
- Works with ROTC and Conquerors, so it fits into larger Sim Settlements playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2019, so it may not be fully compatible with newer Sim Settlements versions.
- Only five settlements included—you'll need other plan packs for the rest of the Commonwealth.
- The 'simple' design might feel too basic if you're after elaborate, lore-rich builds.
For Fallout 4 players using Sim Settlements who want quick, no-fuss plans for the starting areas. If you're running ROTC or Conquerors and need a foundation for your settlements, this fits. Skip if you want fancy, detailed builds or if you're on the latest Sim Settlements 2—this is for the original mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Sim Settlements mod installed, not Sim Settlements 2, since these plans are built for the first version.
- In-game, use the settlement management holotape to assign plans to each settlement—this pack doesn't auto-apply.
- If you're using ROTC, assign these plans after the city is claimed to avoid conflicts with pre-built structures.
