2024 Benevolent Leader (100 Happiness Settlement) Guide Fallout 4

[@Volatile02]

might be the most simple and well explained guide out there, thanks a lot brother

[@Trentherrera]

Best vid. Only needed one settler and one level 3 bar. Filled up w crates, paintings, bare minimum defense water and food. 2 beds. The key was sleeping in 2 different beds for the 48 hr sleep cycle, and making sure your settler was working when you woke up. Sleep immediately after happiness ticks up and it goes quick

[@Nick.Candy808]

Imagine being a settler and the sole survivor sends you to his settlement and you see a bunch of toilets, chairs and boxes outside😂thanks for the guide my dude!

[@JacobReid]

😂😂 best comment so far

[@DieselEffect]

At 23:29 CST on November 9, 2015, I first fired up Fallout 4. (Hell yeah I have a pic of the screen. I was stoked. Even went to the GameStop midnight release). Over 1000 hours of gameplay and almost 9 years later, I got this achievement. Thanks a lot my dude.

[@JacobReid]

Best comment yet. Thats incredible! Congrats on 1000 hours and getting the trophy

[@Psmo0179]

This is by far the best guide. Followed with a few minor changes (just added some more happiness activity, weight bench and pommel horse ) …… but your blueprint was awesome and spot on. Thank you.

[@nurgspestilence9352]

This guide works!! This man deserves an award . Highest i ever got was 95% and it had stalled . Kudos to you young man , subbed , liked and spammed this link in multiple discords .

[@JacobReid]

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

[@sir_cheeks445]

Just got the trophy after years of attempting. Thank you for your help.

[@JacobReid]

You’re welcome!

[@KelinCalcetin]

Thanks man it worked June 2024, I got the trophy and I did it in Starlight Drive In of all places 1 settler farming, 1 in a bar, 4 in clinics

[@HectorAgostoOne]

Geez...this totally worked. I didnt just put random items to fill the size though, i figured if i had to fill the size meter might as well create the full settlement so that once i get the achievement I can recruit settlers. Not bad. Best guide.

[@swaeshow]

This guid is by far the easiest guide I've found. I have been trying a tone of other guides but kept having the increase stop somewhere between 85-90 with every method. Then I found this. at 99 i saved and got the trophy on PS4 then uploaded that save and got the trophy right away on ps5 version. Done and done thanks to you man! Great guide. I just had to sub after this!

[@JacobReid]

Just out of curiosity, how do you do the thing to get the trophy on ps5? I’m currently plating the ps4 version and want to plat ps5 next

[@habskid9572]

Same

[@patg4670]

@@JacobReid It's fairly easy, you save at 99 happiness, (or anywhere to pop easy trophy, you can do this with level up trophies as well by saving before you pop the next level), then you upload the save through the main menu on fallout 4 ps5 version, load it up wait for happiness to reach 100, or level up for level up trophies. I'm not sure if this works with bobbleheads and magazines and 50 lockpicks and 50 hacks though.

[@TORRENS2016]

@@patg4670 for the level up trophies you dont need to save before leveling up, if you are over level 50 and you level up once you get all 3, also what the game counts as "hack", "lockpick" and so on is the exact moment that you do it and not the stats by itself, sometimes if you delete the game the progress restars, even if you had 49 hacks or so, you will start from 0 but the game wont tell you, however im not 100% sure about the magazines and bubbleheads, i guess its the same

[@KoloStories]

Best straightforward guide period. I was Dreading this achievement but you made it so much more simple. Thanks man!

[@JacobReid]

Glad I could help!

[@cwmodeler8887]

Just wanted to say thank you very much for getting me that platinum trophy. I had some other things to do in the game, but they were very easy. I just wanted to say thank you. I did like the video for you. And now i'm gonna go get platinum on fallout76. Keep posting helpful videos.

[@JacobReid]

I’m happy I could help! Thanks for subscribing!

[@sonogameplay]

Because of this video, I got the platinum 6 years after the last trophy! I dropped this game in 2018 because of the benevolent leader, but thanks to this guide, I managed to achieve it!. Thank you so much!

[@JacobReid]

I’m very happy I could help ya get it!

[@zarlorin3728]

Up to 95 I did it with one settler but then it got stuck and I continued exactly with your guide and it worked exactly like you did! Thanks! My platin trophy is here!

[@Therap3]

Thanks for this vid. It took me longer because I had to level up and allocate two points to medic and local leader to be able to build those clinics. After that, it took about a day to get from 70 to 100.

[@marronnorram5881]

Thank you !! I followed your guide, and just finished it .....best one i could find !

[@ox9717]

This worked for me really well did everything in the video except the sleeping I set it up exactly like you did and just played the game normally and the happiness was going up. Thanks for the video I almost have the platinum trophy now cheers.

[@SleekStarlovers]

YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU! I put this game off for so long because I couldn’t get this stupid achievement! THANK YOUU ✨✨✨✨

[@ObamaTheHedgehog]

This video was so helpful, its wild how much conflicting information there is on this trophy, but you cut through it all. Thank you

[@AndrewRobertKnowles]

Just want to say thanks, this guide is fantastic and worked a treat and very quickly. Im playing the next gen update in Oct 24. I thought this was going to be the main hurdle in getting the plat!

[@RobiiShadowRunnerBuckland]

My man thank you so much i was dreading doing this achievement but you smashed it with the useful info just want to personally say thank you so much. Defo earned a sub

[@JacobReid]

I’m happy I could help you out with it!

[@mightypouce1217]

IT WORK! Its the easiest guide on the internet yet! I already had all the material and it took me around 2h to complete! Thanks 🤘

[@KrazyPlays_]

@jacob Thank you so much for this info, it worked 100%! All three other videos were so bad at the info.. said to use bars tier 3 which did not work for me! Thanks again! I got the Plat.

[@JacobReid]

I’m happy I could help you get that plat!

[@doktorcito2629]

Thanks a lot for the guide! Just FYI, I just got the trophy with only 3 people and also didn’t have to full the Happiness meter bar (it was approximately 80%) and achieved 100 Happiness anyway

[@Josh-ns8ij]

Thank you so much! Finally got this achievement after following this video, never thought I was gonna unlock it! 1600/1600

[@MMichael69]

Thank for this guide! I also have been through a lot before this one. Just got the trophy using this method in 1.5h, I could’ve done it faster but I dived into the building a bit too much haha Anyways… I’m completely new to Fallout universe, Amazon Prime series lured me into this post-apocalyptic world and I totally love it! I started before next gen update on PS5 so I’m doing PS4 trophies atm. Right now while I’m writing this comment I’ve got 3 trophies left to go, which are: Mercenary ( Complete 50 Misc. Objectives ) and 2 more with Bobbleheads. I think I might come back to it after some time, just to do a PS5 platinum trophy speed run haha

[@MocarnyGrzechu]

hey, I'd like to thank you because it worked for me too - with one BUT... if anyone has a situation where despite meeting the building conditions, sleeping and waiting, popularity doesn't grow, go play again, mine was constantly at level 56 - no matter how much I didn't sleep for 48 hours and walked around the toilets. I went on to spread order in the Community, finished the game with the Minutemen, noticed that popularity grew by itself without my presence in the settlement at level 96, I returned to the settlement, slept and waited, it grew to level 99, I went again to see the big nuclear hole of my actions and the trophy popped.

[@ericredman6037]

ur a damn genius my friend well done been trying this for YEARS and because of u I have it

[@joshuatealeaves]

This is THE way to get the trophy. This took me around 4 hours to get. I’ll add, once you get to around 96 happiness make a save because the game can be real buggy. If your happiness starts to go down for whatever reason or won’t climb reload the save & try again. You’ll get the trophy eventually. Thanks bro 🙏🏻

[@militaryeat]

I just used your method to achieve the achievement, and it worked. Thank you!!

[@JacobReid]

You’re welcome!

[@TheDavid488]

I rarely like or comment, but this should be required viewing for any trophy/achievement hunter. I set this all up, completed quests, etc. Trophy popped while i wasn't even there. Just set this up as soon as you have the resources and this trophy is no problem. Thanks brother!!

[@JacobReid]

Thanks for leaving the comment! I’m glad do could help you get the Trophy!

[@PlagueDemonn]

This helped me so much. I remember playing this game on ps4 and got this trophy. Don’t know how tbh lol. I’m now on the ps5 version going for the platinum again. Thank you so much man.

[@OSHSTO]

Just got this trophy thanks to you, this really is a no nonsense guide, easy to follow. Although i did it with one settler. I cleared out red rocket and sent dogmeat to sanctuary. Set up a bar, 2 beds, 2 water pumps and loaded the work bench with water and mutfruit then set up a beacon, waited 1 day and 2 settlers turned up, i sent one to sanctuary and assisted 1 to the bar, happiness started at 80% and jumped up to 95% using a different method but after that it would bearly move and the time keeping was awkward, i used you sleep 48 hours in 2 beds then waited for a couple minutes and it was ticking up 1 by 1 everytime. Much appreciated video 👍

This was incredibly helpful. Only trophy I need to get platinum and almost got it. I’m at 94 as we speak and I was stuck at 83 for so long. I appreciate your efforts my good sir

Great guide only took 2 hours. Thank you

[@matthewburry4905]

700 hours on PC and 400 hours on Xbox and I FINALLY got this achievement following your guide! Thank you so much! Only thing I found was if I did my 2-4 mins waiting entirely in the build screen it wouldn't tick up a point. I had to go to build, wait a minute. Then close the build screen and run around maybe for a minute and open the build screen again, and then within a minute it would increase. Took me about 20 mins of real time to get this to work following your guide! :)

[@jackmcgowan5848]

Thanks for the guide this one has been eluding me for years, someone told me that having named settlers will prevent you from reaching 100% I've always tried at sanctuary and always been stuck in the upper 90s so there might be some truth to that. A quick note about the food, 1 settler can produce 6 food so even if you use something that produces .5 per plant 1 settler can manage 12 of them to reach that 6 food

[@Statikshade]

Used the Red Rocket Truck Stop. Built 6 turrets (can never have enough security), stockpiled the workshop with all types of food, built 6 water pumps, built 2 beds and built the level 1 bar and 1 generator with lights for aesthetics. Assigned one settler to the bar. When the settler went to bed at midnight I would sleep for 8 hours. Go outside and wait for 15 hours immediately followed by waiting 24 hours. Settler goes to bed and you repeat. Took about 1 hour to rapidly climb to 100.

This really worked for me. Took a few hours but if you just sleep twice and come back 10 minutes later happiness will start climbing.

[@thealmightyG]

Dude, I could (almost) kiss you (not quite, obviously). I’ve been trying this since firing the game back up in March, with only a handful of trophies left from my first run, back in 2015. Managed all the others but the Benevolent Leader evaded me. I’d seen a few guides using the same place but only one person, however, I was constantly stuck on 99% with food being zero. Anyhoo, I used your method and it literally just pinged, so now I have the platinum. Thank you, for the guide.

[@JacobReid]

You’re welcome!

[@mrunknown138]

I’ll be trying this soon, bro I remember the best guide like 8 years ago saying to “leave your system on overnight” just for it to tick and pop

I heard that radios help too, so i put em everywhere.

[@JacobReid]

[@derekvalenti9365]

This annoying achievement took me like 6 hours, but I was originally trying the single settler method where you station him to a bar, and you supply him food via the workshop…. Didn’t work, and I wasted so much time…. But then I saw this, started working on this, and it did take probably 3 hours at least, but it worked…. Thanks so much!!!! Just remember this does cost like 9,000 coins tho, to build the 5 bars, I literally had just enough, left me with about 500 coins to spare , AWESOME GUIDE, and WORKS!!!!

[@Stephlefan6]

i did it with oberland station and had a lot of trouble. sometimes iit won't raise but was going down. so i had to redo things like removing my clinic and install a restaurant. Also sometimes add or remove aid in my workshop to make it stop decreasing happiness or to stat raising again.

I got it by maxing out Sanctuary Hills back in 2015. I have no idea how I did it. I always use Mutfruit. I rarely ever use anything other than the basic machine guns, I used a lot of restaurant food booths. I used a lot of statues , flags and posters to. There's more but I don't remember everything.

[@BulookLazah]

Ok this the 2nd time I got the achievement in 1 week using two of my main account and I would like to share on how I got it. - Make sure your solo when entering settlement as followers tends to mess up the happiness for some reason. - Conquer CROUP MANOR ( It will have 0 settler as default) - Send/move 1 settler from one of your settlements to CROUP MANOR CROUP MANOR - Set up 1 bar and assign the settler on it - Build a bunch of water ( i had 50 ) - Plant a bunch of random veggies you got - add leftover veggies or any food, cans, meat, etc to workshop - Build a few turrets or just 1 don’t matter - build a bed obviously ( 1 ) - build a BUNCH of bench press and gymnast like ALOT 😅 ( It’s on Furniture and Miscellaneous ) - finally leave that settlement ( CROUP MANOR ) alone, go do some random quest as it takes time for the happiness to process but eventually it’ll randomly pop will your doing random things or you could try afk but not in croup manor go afk somewhere else. Takes me 4 hours for it to randomly pop on screen when doing quest and sidequest, hope this helps out.

Red Rocket will be to small I believe, but yeah good choice if it works. You actualy need 1 settler in Red Rocket, doing a lvl 3 Bar. Adding a Guard dog makes it quicker. Run a suplyline from Sanctuary too, yeah Ad a bed some defence. and done you can choose all empty settlements to get 100% in notime this way. You can easily go do some missions or other building somewhere else while waiting. I have the trophy 3 times on different consoles. I have the trophy on pc too. All those times using this trick. After hitting the 100% in any settlement extract that settler(s) and it stays empty with100% happiness.
