Future Plans: My plan with this add-on pack is to add another 25+ plots based on supporters suggestions and ideas. If you like this mod and would like to see more or have any suggestions please let me know over in my area on the Sim Settlements Forums.

All Hail the mighty Kinggath - May he mod forever!
