¶ Introduction

Sim Settlements 2 is a mod for Fallout 4 that asks, "What if there was a reason for my character to help rebuild settlements?"

You'll meet a Stranger who takes you through a story of rebuilding the Commonwealth and battling the forces that would prevent it. Sim Settlements 2 brings dozens of fully voiced NPCs that appear to help or hinder your progress rebuilding the Commonwealth. Many of them have quests of their own for you to discover.

As Sim Settlements 2 is a sequel, it evolves on the gameplay introduced in the original. With loads more features and buildings for you to dive into, you can create your own settlements, or let them be fully automated. The choice is yours!

All of this has been coded from the ground up for a faster, more stable, and more expansive Sim Settlements experience.
