Version 5.5 - Personal Choice Saves
SEASON 2 CONTEST PLANS - MIDYEAR UPDATE (8/30/20)

Sim Settlements, the main file, Workshop Frame Work, Workshop Plus, and Conqueror were all updated today with new versions.  Because of this, to maintain the utmost integrity of files I provide to you, I have done a new game install, as normal for all these files, for an updated set of files for you.  

Please update all your files to the latest and greatest to have the best possible experience.  

Going forward, this will also have the Sim Settlement Nuka World/Conqueror Patch as well to have the 2 integrated better during playthrough.

Required: Sim Settlements 4.2.9a+  Workshop Frame Work 2.0.3+  Conqueror 4.2.9a+  Nuka World Conqueror Patch 4.2.9 (in the Conqueror Files section)

Personal Choice comments:
1) Nora (female character) - may do Nate if I find time but by downloads and DM's, Nora is far ahead in choice
2) Pre-War (may do if time allows Vault Elevator)
3) Normal and StartMeUp
4) Starting Level 4 - fully populated
5) Winners only used in the Settlements - Runner Ups in a 2 city competition will be used also.
6) Pre-population - Raiders in Settlements where there are no people or city plans used due to various reasons such as preference and performance.  Quest related at times also.  Cities in relatively close proximity (Tenpines and Outpost) only one is built for performance stability.
7) I have installed almost all of the City Plot Packs and used Designer Choice (see image section) - this is to ensure all Cities are truly built and ready for your arrival.
8) I have also built this at Ultra settings so that it is fully built if you are capable of running this level.  (easy to lower settings than to build what isn't there)
9) This was done so you will not have to do a refresh of the city plan once you install maybe the correct packs.  The personal choice is fully correct - unless there is a pack I decided to exclude due to other reasons.

I hope you truly enjoy these files of Personal Choice.  I also hope you appreciate the hours it takes to make these - from complete wiping out game files, re-install, (no legacy issues) - plus the time to actually run the pre-build.  I build at 60fps, which does take longer to build, but the engine runs at 60fps, so for stability and best chances of great builds.  

My hope is that my hours in doing this continues to bless the 3,000+ people who have downloaded these files.  I know that translates to y'all of about 10,000+ hours in your time.  Please at least consider a simple endorsement.

(TRACK THIS MOD FOR THE UPDATES)

Requires: 

• Sim Settlements 3-in-1  4.2.9+
• Conqueror  4.2.9+
• Workshop Framework V2.0.2+
• Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch  2.1.1+
• Settlement Menu Manager  0.1.4+
• HUD Framework  1.0f
• (Optional) Sim Settlements City Plan Contest Entries mod - for the City Plan Contest Pre-builds (without this, you get the default ROTC cities without a City and City Contest Plan available)
•  (Optional) Add-ons are not required as default plots are within SS 3 in 1 (Cities as designed require certain add-ons to have the designer's vision)
•  (Optional but HIGHLY Recommended with FO4SE 0.6.20+)  Mod Configuration Menu, Faster Workshop, Better Console, Place Everywhere, Workshop+
  

NOTE:  THIS IS RAN ON GAME VERSION 1.10.163 - WITH THE BETHESDA UPDATES, MOST NEW/UPDATED MODS ARE NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE.  MAKE SURE YOUR GAME IS UPDATED TO THE LATEST SO YOU CAN BE SURE TO CONTINUE ENJOYING THE NEW RELEASES.


Serious Note - if you want to have the actual cities and visuals of the Designer's City Plan, you need to have the City Plot packs installed AND when you get to the city, make sure you have Designer's Choice selected in your holotape or MCM, then refresh the City.  If you are heavy into the city design's, having most / if not all the  packs installed is a sure bet for you!  I have listed in the requirements section of this mod page as only a simple way for you to find the packs - not required!  The default Sim Settlement plots will be used if you do not have the packs.  The choice is yours.

Version 4.0 has Arrived!

CHANGELOG

Versions 1.0 - April 19 2019
Initial Release - City Plan Contest covers up to March 2019 contest

• Conqueror - Default Cities - Default Prebuilt settings - 4 levels, 4 Pre-builts - Level 0, 1, 2, 3 (optional file not needed)
  

• Conqueror - Default Cities - Random Prebuilt Generator - 4 levels, 4 Pre-builts - Level 0, 1, 2, 3 (optional file not needed)
  

• Conqueror - City Contest Entries - Default Cities - Default Prebuilt Settings - 4 levels, 4 Pre-builts - Level 0, 1, 2, 3 (Default Cities + Red Rocket - all cities in the Contest mod - Winners and Finalists and all entries - randomly selected)
  

• Conqueror - City Contest Entries - Winner's Circle - Contest Winner Plans replace default ROTC plans - 4 levels, 4 Pre-builts - Level 0, 1, 2, 3 (RED ROCKET ADDED TO CITIES LIST
  

• Conqueror - City Contest Entries - Finalist Showcase 01 - 1st pack where the Finalist entries are showcased and replace the default ROTC plans - 4 levels, 4 Pre-builts - Level 0, 1, 2, 3 (RED ROCKET ADDED TO CITIES LIST)
  

Note:  There will be more finalist showcase packs in the future as there are more finalists and contributors than winners.  So I will have to wait for the next City Plan Contest mod file so I can put these in a follow-up pack to ensure a good mix of all the cities, and not just same builds with 1 or 2 cities only changed.

Update - May 17, 2019
I added a small resource generator to the optional files - based on vanilla generator - give 10 food, 10 water, Wireless Radiation Power, and 100% Happiness (a few in game days if not immediate).  ESL tagged ESP so doesn't count towards the 254 limit.  Load after all your build mods or the standard generator in those will overwrite all the added qualities. (oh, and not indestructible, but close)  I use this to start my settlements as I don't want to battle happiness or hamper my settlements or plots to upgrade.  Enjoy.

Version 2.0 - June 2, 2019
Will catch the remaining Finalists and Other Entries as well as new entries for the next months!  Plan is to upload V2.0 after March & April Entries are included. Lite files, problematic cities removed for improved stability.

1) NOTE:  I have listed in the requirements all the Add-On Packs I can find.  They are NOT required just to simply play Conqueror.  I have listed so you can easily reference the other Add-On's with a Click on link.  Remember, after these Conqueror Cities are built, if you want the Designer's Choice of plots, you have to enter Tools>Gameplay Options>City>Designer's Choice, as well as have all the Add-On packs that would be required.  I simply install all of them myself - but that is a personal choice.
2) Version 2 will include skipping Pre-War and you will be placed at the Vault Door Control Panel.  Another time saver to just get in the Game.
3) Version 2 has been reduced to 20 settlements in total.  With the base game engine, and large load orders of players, there are some problematic areas and in order to provide the best stability to you, I have eliminated Far Harbor settlements, Jamaica Plains, Bunker Hill, and Starlight.
4) Contest winners and finalists are all represented in these files for Version 2.
5) Going forward, I will only be doing Level 3 cities.  This will improve in-game performance as the only load to the game will be the cities functioning and not building/refreshing/recruiting/etc.  The script load will be less, as well as what occurs while you are just playing the game.
6) BONUS:  I have also included the base file at the Vault Door Control Panel with only the UnOfficialFallout4 Patch installed.  This way you can do your own Conqueror Pre-build and skip the Pre-War/Vault gameplay.  Another way to get into game quicker.
7) Regarding character sex - I use Nate Male.  If you want female, activate the vault door, wait for the elevator to come down and pause for a few to let the vault scripting to complete.  In console, Type "Player.sexchange" … setup your female player SPECIALS and Name.  Enter the elevator and change your looks.  Exit the Vault - play game and ENJOY!

Version 3.0 - August 23, 2019
This will bring up-to-date the City Contest Plans from the very beginning to last contest Winners & Runner Ups for June 2019.

I have made 4 versions, all level 3 cities fully built and with full settlers.  This reduces script load while you are simply just playing.  Four versions - full 30 settlements, lite version of 20 settlements, Outcasts: Survival, and Unique Vanilla Settlers.  I have excluded all DLC Conqueror Settlements as well in the lite versions.  And by DM requests, the character is Nora.

a) full 30+ settlement version - including DLC settlements (top end computer and optimizations required)
b) lite version of 20 settlements - no DLC and removal of "problematic" settlements for a better gaming experience.
c) Outcasts: Survival (lite) - built in settlements with no people (vanilla unique settlers).  Ex. Coastal, Red Rocket, Sunshine Tidings, etc. (14 settlements)
d) Unique Vanilla Settlements (lite) - built only in settlements with people (vanilla unique settlers).  Ex. Abernathy, Tenpines, Oberland, etc. (10 Settlements)

Version 4.0 - December 20, 2019
Wrap up of Season #1 of 2019 of City Contest Plans - INCLUDING "The Masters" which is Spectacle Island!
Nate and Nora versions uploaded.

Version 5.0 - August 23, 2020
Midyear of Season 2 - see photo for load order minimally required
