Winterfox140 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I installed a few mods for the first time and everything was running smoothly until I noticed that I have way too many settlers in most of my settlements now, I am talking 30-40. The issue is, I have no idea which mod is causing this issue. I've looked over the few mods I have and none seem to mention and increase in settler population cap. Are there any widely used mods that cause this that I just don't know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted7059370User Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If they gradually became more, I would check if you're settlement recruitment radios/ beacons are activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGadget1945 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 And make sure you don't have one of those spinning radar dish things anywhere. I thought they were just decorative and looked cool on top of a guard post but they actually recruit settlers and use radiant power so even if they are not wired up they are still working.

dragonslayer2k12 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Wearing armor or clothes that have the sharp enchantment will raise your charisma higher than 10 or 11 which causes MOAR settlers to live at your settlements plus any mods that raise charisma like that toilet and shower mod. Best thing to do is get a mod that shelters all beds as long as they are built in a shelter of some kind and get your settlers up to between 24 and 26 depending on the location. Some places like taffington or covenant can't handle more than 20 settlers without major fps drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 If you have set your charm to 99 through console command you're bound to get way more settlers than normal. But that's about all I can think of without a mod that allows for more settlers. I have one that allows up to 500 settlers per settlement but the highest I've ever got was 72 (at Boston Airport, of all places). If and when you have asettlement where you think you've got enough settlers, just switch off the radio beacon tower/dish/whatever you're using.

audiodef Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 In addition to the above, if you have too many settlers in one place, you can always enter workshop mode and send them to another settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What radar dish things? From DLC, vanilla, or a mod? I've got all the DLC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
