DOWNGRADING THE MOD AND "CLEANSAVING" Downgrading from an already installed newer version of the mod to an older version messes up the Global variables within your savegame. In cases like this "cleansaving" the mod might be your solution. - disable TS (the version you last installed and want to use) - create a new save without the mod - enable TS (the version you last installed and want to use), and load that last savegame
REGARDING BUG REPORTS - the most important rule regarding bug reports is to be specific enough and describe your issue in a way I can reproduce it! If I don't have information about which items, which settlement, which blueprint you are talking about, I certainly cannot fix your problem... - if you have issues and you're using scrap mods, don't forget to mention which ones! - if you have used the scrapall console command before importing a blueprint, don't forget to mention that either! - at this point if the mod is not working for you AT ALL, you should read the description VERY carefully - everything is detailed in the "How To Install" section - use manual install if mod managers fail you! - before reporting any issues, enable debug logging! - then go in game, reproduce the error, and send me these log files below - Papyrus log: ..\ Documents\My Games\Fallout 4\Logs\Script\Papyrus.0.log - F4SE log: ..\ Documents\My Games\Fallout 4\F4SE\transfer_settlements.log - then go into your blueprints folder and send me the blueprint json file as well - you can send files using any file sharing cloud services such as dropbox, google drive, etc. or paste them in pastebin.com

even though it's quite annoying that Bethesda needs to update the game frequently, I have to admit, I really enjoyed playing around with the new workshop packs while testing v1.46.
SHAMELESS PLUG if you enjoyed the video above, and want to support me in a non-monetary way that really makes me happy, consider subscribing to my youtube channel. at the time of writing this post I'm close to 700 subscribers, but according to the recent changes in youtube's terms of service I'm going to loose my youtube partner status if I'm below a 1,000 subscribers by the 20th of February.
TL;DR: I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE ANY NEW SUBSCIPTIONS ON MY CHANNEL!!!
Yes, new F4SE is available. Yes, CDante is working hard on compiling an update.
ETA -> when Tested, Stable, and Done. There will be no release untill it is ready to go public.
So much things can get in the way of a solid ETA. Revisiting a game that has been slumbering for years takes time, rebuilding the backbones for the development environment, refreshing old test procedures, etc... And... the biggest hurdle we are facing is tackling massive internal changes in the NextGen FO4 release.
Be patient we will no longer answer any questions on when TS will be updated. LATEST NEWS ] CDante: May, 8th, 2024
Update on Transfer Settlements NG compatibility development:
transfer_settlements.dll fully working - compiled and loads up with NG version
terminal+.dll fully working - compiled and loads up with NG version
BUT... for each terminal+ update in the past I always needed to find 6 internal addresses for internal functions based on their binary signature patterns from previous versions of Fallout 4. However, it seems like these internal addresses changed/shifted so much in NG that so far I could locate only 2 of those 6.
So please be patient, it takes more time but I'm getting there.
NOTE: The working DLLs CDante mentions are DEVELOPMENT versions and not available for the public. ] CDante: May, 9th, 2024
Update on TS development: I made a windows application to decode the bin files from the Address Library for F4SE Plugins by Ryan, but turned out THEY don't have all the addresses decoded. even comparing the filesizes between 1.10.163 (9.1 MB) and 1.10.980 (2.2 MB) it's obvious that it's just a fraction of the known internal addresses in that bin file.
to be continued...
CDante has some additional plans to deal with the elusive internal functions. ] CDante: May, 10th, 2024
Update on TS development: I made a python script that finds the closest known 1.10.980 memory addresses, but it landed thousands of steps away from the address I'm looking for, another dead end.
I have some more ideas to try. [nerd-alert] Dissasemble the machine-executable code further and create assembly language code to decompile and generate a high level, C source code-like representation [/nerd-alert]
Shifting more and more towards the decision of getting rid of the TS holotape, it needs high level trickery that is no longer available. It will require restructuring the mod to work with a physical, buildable terminal instead, which can have dynamic texts using less convoluted quest aliases.
Side note: Working with the FOLON devs to add compatibility with Fallout London so TS recognises London workshops from the get go.
NEXT FO4 UPDATE ANNOUNCED by BGS for monday may 13th. ] May, 13th, 2024 F4 update dropped. Tiny 38MB, only Fallout4.exe and interface.ba2 updated, version bumped to 1.10.984. Likely not gonna be such a huge problem for Script Extender mods like the massive internal changes in 1.10.980 were. CDante is still working on the previous NextGen conversions for this mod.
Expect a much longer wait for the ?!? NextGen update ?!?
This ain't an easy quick update to a new FO4 version number, it requires a complete rework. Only possible thanks to the awesome support from legends like reg2k, ianpatt and other members from the amazing f4se-team.
] May, 5th,2024 ...the biggest hurdle we are facing is tackling massive internal changes in the NextGen FO4 release.
Turns out, a lot of the advanced functions Transfer Settlements depends on changed drastically or are no longer available.
] reg2k: Some of the functions may not even exist anymore... I'm guessing Bethesda updated their compiler platform toolset, the single worst thing you can do to your modding community for native mods. Old signatures broke because the assembly instructions changed.
] ianpatt: Yeah, pretty sure we are at worst case scenario
] CDante: This is a much greater problem than the issues I had earlier, but I won't give up. ] May, 20th, 2024
] CDante: Currently restructuring the mod so it would work with a built terminal instead of a holotape. I want a more robust solution, and having dynamic texts in a "world object" type terminal is much easier and doesn't require so many internal functions that changed drastically or are no longer available. + In NextGen there are additional issues whith the built-in power line and wire functions needed by TS, those are still disabled in the latest version of F4SE. the F4SE team already fixed those, which is awesome, but those fixes need to be included with a future F4SE update.
] June, 5th, 2024 It is an honor to announce that there has been huge progress on the NextGen TS build. CDante succeeded in jumping over the biggest hurdles BGS threw at him and we have a working testbuild now. It is looking very good. Early tests are promising, but there still are a few issues that need finetuning. However, we will be testing it thoroughly and will take our time to do so. Again, we will not give an ETA, it will be done when it is done.
I installed everything but it can't seem to work. It keep asking me about F4SE.pex and ObjectReference.pex when it was clearly there. It also said that the "TS dll has the wrong version or not loaded". I then retraced and reinstall it carefully, then my dumbass just realized it is not compatible with next gen yet. Safe to say, I feel soo stupid when I finally took the time to read the comments here.
I remember liking this mod back in the day, and I appreciate you guys working on it and progress on updating it. You're doing god's work!
Always tell us which TS, FO4 and F4SE version numbers you are running,
Most likely there is a mismatch in version numbers, and that is why you get missing script popups. At the moment TS is only available for OldGen (max TS 1.93 + FO4 1.10.163 + F4SE 0.6.20 up to 0.6.23).
Read the sticky above (red border) to learn why NextGen isn't available yet.
Glad you discovered it yourself, but i'll keep this answer here, so others might see it.
kaitoinxmu Seems? Isn't that obvious with all the information we shared here? I really do not know how we could be any more transparant and informative about it.
Don't ask questions on this comment section, you'll only get crude responses with sarcasm and irony behind them. Same guy defended another dude who started harassing a user for asking if the mod owners abandoned the project and they said that asking if "the creators abandoned the project" is a massive insult.
I'm afraid it's are unknown when exactly this update will be released. For now, converting blueprints into Workshop Framework layouts is an only option to obtain TS blueprints.
Nope, it can be done with two PCs or running Windows in a VM and downgrading it to pre-NextGen.
Problem is, the more mods overall installed, the more likely it is, that something will interfere in importing savegames from NextGen to the downgraded Fallout4.
I have done this and it worked but I can't guarantee that there won't be CTDs the further one advances in the storylines. My NextGen playthrough is now at level 41 and I have copied savegames back and forth, importing seven blueprints, while all other mods besides TS are identical and I have roughly 90 mods overall.
Eysenbeiss We talked about this option in an older comment. Your game, your risk, your choice. And i do respect you experimenting.
I only want to add for other users that it is a very risky procedure. Invoking savegame corruption. I absolutely do not recommend loading a NG save into OG and back into NG.
Yep and you are right - I just wanted to point out, that it is possible and for me, it is a clear sign on how well TS has been done before NextGen.
So to make it clear for everybody that is reading this: This procedure CAN work, but it is NOT guaranteed.
You do this on your own behalf and like I already stated, the more mods you are using, the more likely it will not work out or causing problems in the long run - I am using mainly my settlement expansions, some weapon and armour mods, "a little bit of green" and some minor mods for convinience, only "Snap'n Build" is somewhat bigger, but nothing goes really deep into the mechanics or is using .dll files at all.
My actual playthrough is now level 46 with eight blueprints imported the way I stated - I only had one CTD - that was not caused by a mod, but by an still existing bug delivered by Bugtesla, meeting one of the Sentry Bots for the first time, before starting the Mechanist questline.
It is like Grote wrote: If you want to be on the safe side regarding your savegames, wait for TS to get updated for NextGen.
My blueprint is successfully imported but all the buildings seem to be crashing into the original ones, I wonder if it's because the TR is simply not supported in NG or there's something else wrong with it?(I've seen the sticker)
I've mentioned this before that I've had issues with vault 88 taking hours to save, (even at low-er item levels) so with an update, if there's a way to look into this, I mean it saves "normally" when I pause to the game menu
No, it is an issue that can not be adressed by TS on its own. The very long gamesave times is a game engine problem, likely enforced by your own local setup. But, and without any hard promises...
So far in a multitude of TS-NG beta testing big blueprints, 3000-8000+ items including a V88, i have not seen the typical game freeze on saving like we had in OG FO4. Which is great, would it not be that another problem emerged. Saving goes rather fast, seconds, not minutes. But FO4 crashes hard and locks up my PC when exiting the game to desktop manually. Bethesda, bethesda never changes.
just saying though, its only Vault 88 that takes forever to save, I have a 7500-ish Spectacle Island that takes maybe 30 minutes to save and upload (as each settlement takes about the same time to save and upload based on size) but.... Vault 88 used to never take as long as it did, it just popped up outta nowhere one day and it hasn't been fixed, no matter what I do (maybe a game update?)
Oh by save and load you mean export and import. My comment on saving being potentially much quicker in NG was about saving your game after an import.
Half an hour for 7500 items, your spectacle Island, sounds decent indeed. V88 has always been an oddball, i've done around 50+ exports and imports of huge builds there, or even more, lost count. Sometimes taking up to 6 hours, sometimes just around 15 minutes for similar blueprints. Only real tip i might have is to restart your FO4 or even Windows right before you export or import V88.
It is not something TS can be optimized for. It is the game engine acting up.
Hard load? What do you mean? A json file is just a specifically formatted textfile that TS uses to record/read every settlement object that is linked to the workshop.
If you mean by hard load. Having the settlement imported in your game instantly on a new game. Euhm no. There have been behind the scenes experiments in converting BPs into ESP files that can be loaded like any other mod. But powering up a settlement would never work, and resulted in very buggy behavior causing unpredictable crashes.
Just saying hello during my daily check-in to see if this wonderful creator has a stable version for release! (I had too many bugs with SS2, I can't wait to try this out!)
On the top of the page, there is a button to track the mod with. ;)
Best to set the following in your site preferences: Select Show author activity on the files you track Deselect Show user activity on the files you track Show user comments on the files you track.
Otherwise you'll get spammed with countless notifications.
Indeed, I have been without this mod while they fix it. It has been a bummer, but is what it is. Sounds like the team is also working on improvements. I appreciate their work and am excited for when update is finished.
cilceon Asking if the mod is abandoned when the team goes above and beyond to inform y'all is insulting too. Yes, there is absolutely no need to be rude. And that goes BOTH ways. But pure laziness and being rude crosses the line. Vissor1 deserved to be reprimanded.
CDante is working hard to completely rework his mod for a game he has not played in years. Same goes for his team, days of testing, helping users, answering questions that have been answered countless times. In return it is only fair to expect users to put in a tiny little effort on their side, reading really ain't that painfull.
Guys please don't use the comment section as Nexus intended! Our lord almighty eysenbeiss the perfect being has told us that were ignorant, self important and high of ourselves. I'm sorry to even insult you for my existance near you my lord, the question with the statement my comrade vissor1 made is totally insulting and gut wrenching offensive, please do not take our heads for it we are but simple commoners in this commonwealth
Flamewars and insults? Defending users that disrespect a hardworking mod author? NOPE, you are so wrong, that all goes against the Nexus terms of service.
there is absolutely no need to be rude. And that goes BOTH ways.
We as a team are capable enough to manage the lazy users. Within the rules. I appreciate you pointing them out their shortcomings, but there is absolutely no need to behave this vigilant.
Regarding disrespect: Wouldn't be the first or last time CDante banned a user from access to his mods. Just saying. This thread is now LOCKED.
to Grotegottrol (and others): thank you so much for keeping us updated on the revs and running interference while the God-King CDante rebuilds what has become a cornerstone mod for some of our load orders. You guys deserve your share of thanks as well.

DOWNGRADING THE MOD AND "CLEANSAVING"
Downgrading from an already installed newer version of the mod to an older version messes up the Global variables within your savegame.
In cases like this "cleansaving" the mod might be your solution.
- disable TS (the version you last installed and want to use)
- create a new save without the mod
- enable TS (the version you last installed and want to use), and load that last savegame
REGARDING BUG REPORTS
- the most important rule regarding bug reports is to be specific enough and describe your issue in a way I can reproduce it! If I don't have information about which items, which settlement, which blueprint you are talking about, I certainly cannot fix your problem...
- if you have issues and you're using scrap mods, don't forget to mention which ones!
- if you have used the scrapall console command before importing a blueprint, don't forget to mention that either!
- at this point if the mod is not working for you AT ALL, you should read the description VERY carefully - everything is detailed in the "How To Install" section - use manual install if mod managers fail you!
- before reporting any issues, enable debug logging!
- then go in game, reproduce the error, and send me these log files below
- Papyrus log: ..\ Documents\My Games\Fallout 4\Logs\Script\Papyrus.0.log
- F4SE log: ..\ Documents\My Games\Fallout 4\F4SE\transfer_settlements.log
- then go into your blueprints folder and send me the blueprint json file as well
- you can send files using any file sharing cloud services such as dropbox, google drive, etc. or paste them in pastebin.com
even though it's quite annoying that Bethesda needs to update the game frequently, I have to admit, I really enjoyed playing around with the new workshop packs while testing v1.46.

but.... Vault 88 used to never take as long as it did, it just popped up outta nowhere one day and it hasn't been fixed, no matter what I do (maybe a game update?)
My comment on saving being potentially much quicker in NG was about saving your game after an import.
Half an hour for 7500 items, your spectacle Island, sounds decent indeed.
V88 has always been an oddball, i've done around 50+ exports and imports of huge builds there, or even more, lost count.
Sometimes taking up to 6 hours, sometimes just around 15 minutes for similar blueprints.
Only real tip i might have is to restart your FO4 or even Windows right before you export or import V88.
It is not something TS can be optimized for. It is the game engine acting up.
A json file is just a specifically formatted textfile that TS uses to record/read every settlement object that is linked to the workshop.
If you mean by hard load. Having the settlement imported in your game instantly on a new game.
Euhm no. There have been behind the scenes experiments in converting BPs into ESP files that can be loaded like any other mod.
But powering up a settlement would never work, and resulted in very buggy behavior causing unpredictable crashes.
Best to set the following in your site preferences:

Otherwise you'll get spammed with countless notifications.

The problem, besides ignorant and self-important people, are guys like you, that are whitewashing everything, no matter how obvious it is ...
Asking if the mod is abandoned when the team goes above and beyond to inform y'all is insulting too.
Yes, there is absolutely no need to be rude. And that goes BOTH ways.
But pure laziness and being rude crosses the line. Vissor1 deserved to be reprimanded.
CDante is working hard to completely rework his mod for a game he has not played in years.
Same goes for his team, days of testing, helping users, answering questions that have been answered countless times.
In return it is only fair to expect users to put in a tiny little effort on their side, reading really ain't that painfull.
Eysenbeiss, to quote myself:
Regarding disrespect: Wouldn't be the first or last time CDante banned a user from access to his mods. Just saying.
