Question About Settlement Objects Mods

[Kpoda15]

Hi, I have a quick question about these mods that add settlement objects to build such as ..

Homemaker - Expanded Settlements by NovaCoru

Settlement Supplies Expanded 2.5 - Safe SSEx by Troy Irving

Alternate Settlements by Stuyk

which one should I use and can I use all three at the same time?

Thanks, and sorry if this was asked before or it's in the wrong section

Hi,

 

Alternate Settlements used the Settlement Keywords framework.

 

SSEx does not use the Settlement Keywords framework.

 

Homemaker is in the process of using the Settlement Keywords framework.

 

SSEx hasn't been updated in weeks and not a single word has been stated by Troy.

 

Homemaker closed the gap between what SSEx offered, so in short:

Homemaker > SSEx

 

Alternate Settlements is strictly a building mod. However since Homemaker doesn't use Settlement Keywords yet. (She's working on it.)

 

You will find some strange issues with your menus or possibly some of them missing.

 

You can make your own merged patch for the time being to make the two function together.

You can use all three; there are patches with the mods to make them work with each other.

Homemaker and SSex make vanilla assets (stuff that's already in the game) available for the workshop build menu

Alternate Settlements brings in all new tile sets.

 

I have all three, as well as Expanded Settlement Buildings. There's the occasional bit of lag in the workshop menu, but isn't terrible.

 

Edit: Ninja'd, but I don't believe I've had any issues about missing items, and I don't have a merged patch as yet. The only issue I really have is that the AS tile sets are mixed in with everything else (I updated from 0.8 to 1.2 today; old version had AS stuff inside its own category, which was very useful) so it takes a while to find what I'm after.

ok thanks for your replay, Stuyk & Jeir

Also depends heavily on what other mods you are using. I have some issues using all 4 plus DDproduction83's mods, Crafting Workbenches and Armorsmith.

Depending on what you have installed for Armorsmith, the PersonalPatchEmporium may be helpfull . lunarionsilver created a TON of patches for various MODs, including one which kindof merges CW and AE . Does not work with custom addons to AE I think . Since every keyword entry into the workshop build menue as well as in the workbench categories seems to count towards the infamous keyword limit, it may help .
