Diving into Sim Settlements 2 Chs 1 & 2 - 00 Introduction

As you can see, this is a new channel, the mission of which is, mainly, to explore the depths of games. Being an engineer, I enjoy delving into systems to see how they work, where they don’t, and how to get around borkeness I have no ability to fix. Inevitably, this will include game mods.

We’re going to start, as you might have gleaned already from the expedited play going on, that we’re starting off with Fallout 4. Not vanilla Fallout 4, however—well, kinda—but we’ve added a few mods, central of which is the content mod Sim Settlements 2, with Chapter 2 stacked on top. Special thanks to Kinggath and the dev team involved in making this awesome mod.

Some things I should also mention re: the mods. I don’t have a huge load order because the more complicated I find a game, the less I want to play. Sim Settlements 2 is really the only content mod I have, and it’s plenty complicated so there’s no need to add weapons or armor extension mods. At least, not yet.

So some of the mods I use are for quality-of-life improvement, some make small improvements to the graphics, and some are just to suit my tastes. If you look at my load order and find I might be lacking something that would suit one or more of those needs, please let me know in the comments below.
