📋 About This Mod
Description
This started as a few lowkey quality of life mods for mine and some friends' games to make settlement building a little easier with SMM menus. Now it's blown up into a full SMM menu library. These patches move mod-added workshop objects from the vanilla menus into their own standalone SMM menu categories (and a few other minor changes noted below). The goal is to declutter a player's vanilla menus and make items easier to find.
The files are flagged as ESL to keep down your mod count.
See the posts section for the latest releases.
Please remember to endorse the mod. I live solely on a diet of mod endorsements!
Compatability and Issues
These SMM patches MIGHT be incompatible with a mod that directly edits vanilla workshop menus. This is true for any mod that adds script-injected menus into the game. Let me know if you run into incompatibility problems with any of them.
If you are replacing an old SMM patch from another user (or from me), with a new SMM patch, you may need to run the SMM menu rescue to fix your menus.
