wysiwyg Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Like the title says, are there any mods which will produce information on what is affecting settlement happiness? Non-covered beds, insufficient defense, etc. I think Sim Settlements has one but I'm not using that mod. Any other places to find this out? It's just the usual problem with happiness dropping for no obvious reason and I'd like to be able to see what the problem is. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Like the title says, are there any mods which will produce information on what is affecting settlement happiness?

One of the reason happiness falls off 'for no apparent reason' is because you haven't visited recently. It seems that the settlers miss their slave/protector, and get unhappy when he doesn't come around to do everything they wish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wysiwyg Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 This seems to give info on basics at least: Population Manager Extended. It doesn't show all the details going into the happiness metrics like the time since the previous visit, settler deaths, etc. It does at least show unsheltered beds and the "max" happiness maybe based on settlement items which increase happiness. I found this on the Sim Settlements site under Happiness and YOU - a guide to maximising happiness in SS2: I'll start with the vanilla mechanic. This only cares about the basic needs of the human and ghoul settlers*, and if they are all met, you can hit 80% happiness easily. For each settler:If they have a bed +10 happinessIf the bed is undercover + 10 happiness (this mechanic is known to not always work correctly in vanilla FO4)If there is 1 unit of produced food each + 20 happinessIf there is 1 unit of produced water each + 20 happinessIf there is 1 unit of defense each + 20 happiness Some objects also add a flat happiness bonus to the settlement. This is divided by all settlers. For example a vanilla level 3 bar adds a flat +40 bonus. A weight bench adds +2. If a settler does not have a sheltered bed, happiness is capped at 60.If defense is lower than the number of settlers, happiness is capped at 60.Outstanding minutemen quests for a settlement give a -20 happiness penalty until complete Here's an old Reddit post with some more info especially on shops: [PSA] Happiness, Income & other values relating to Settlement building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
