📋 About This Mod
Please be sure to have a read through the Issues section below
The settlement is designed with specific plots chosen for their access points and themes.
Please ensure you have selected Designers Choice ON in the options and have the Add-On packs I have used. You'll find a list of them at the bottom of this description, they are incredible so don't forget to send them your appreciation too!
Some plots are set to begin at higher plot level in the Foundation city plan - to get these you will need to select Starting Plot Levels ON
I really recommend that you have SS2 Junk Town Fences by Uituit as the martial "Moat" plot used is an oversized plot that extends half the length of the settlement and the border nearest to the water, and without it would be less immersive/coherent design.
Player Home Only Layout (Optional file without the rest of the settlement and plots)
As I created the player home separately before putting it into the main settlement there is an optional file with only the player home in the layout.
This allows you add the player home (which is in the top southern corner and partly outside the build area) to your own settlement, or even another city plan. (there may be some overlap if they also use that top corner - but hey that's why we have save game to revert back). It uses the shell of the communications plot, you could scrap the shell and snap a 2x2 municipal there to put one there yourself if wanted.

[]it will then build the player home (there is no cinematic flyby when building layouts), when done a pop-up message will tell you it is complete.
