kinggath Plays Fallout 4: Sim Settlements 2 - Episode 3

[@slayngel2033]

I am enjoying this Let's Play series. I am having so much fun with SS2 Chapter 2 and I love hearing the behind-the-scenes stories. Thank you to the whole team for such excellent work on SS2!

[@Telthar]

The always sunny reference in the terminals in this part was great! Was not expecting that!

[@rebeccas1604]

I love this mod. I have been having the best time with it. Love the story line and the Jake voice actor. Thanks!

[@JoshuaArrike]

I just finished this mod and I haven't felt this dog tired from an adventure in a good way like I am since fallout new vegas's bounty hunter story. I wish someone made a story like that again but this is still amazing!

[@danielgagne7153]

That subbasement puzzle was a pain for me. I picked the lock on the door and came into the basement before I went into the main building. I probably grabbed the holotape and checked out the terminal and ignored them for the most part. I saw an elevator that I could not access, and the green quest marker told me to leave, so I just did, and entered the main building. When I came down here the second time, as part of the quest, I had no idea. I was also really frustrated that Jake kept doing the same 2 useless things, and didn't even appear to be looking around the basement for clues, he was just expecting you to do everything, and I had no idea. I thought the button might have just been for the elevator, because it didn't open any doors or walls, so I almost gave up. It took me forever to try looking at the mats down below. I did finally figure it out, luckily. I spent a good extra half hour on this though!

[@danielgagne7153]

Keeping The Ron was great for the Millions ..... "And Millions" of The Ron's fans!!!! :D

[@2Scribble]

14:40 - I felt SO stupid when I figured this out - I play with Boston Radio blasting ALL the time so I barely heard what the button was signaling xD

[@almahdi20]

It took me the better part of an hour to figure that out! Nice trick with the mats!😀

[@toefi_]

By the way if anyone is having troubles progressing in the Vault Tec Regional HQ, even when you think you have cleared the whole building. I recommend opening console and typing "killall" then press enter, it worked for me because I was stuck there when Jake was supposed to check the reception terminal but he didn't do it.

[@DaV0RT3X]

I had to do this the other day for Jake at the military outpost

[@Mapper2]

I appreciate that you guys use buildings that exist but don't show up on the map.. The countless number of buildings that I've never visited before...

[@liammack4592]

So true, it’s cozy how jake stays in that concord hardware store. For some reason I always thought that little corner building was cool.

[@The--Illusion]

Super Mutants with Horizon are really tough. The mod adds Nightkins in as well

[@almahdi20]

Took me the better part of an hour to figure that out! 😀😀

[@BETA00009]

11:50 finally a fix

[@HJ-pm2dx]

Necro post, apologies, but I love the Ron. He's such an interesting character. Would love to see more of him in chapter 3. Also, I'm in love with jake, wish I could do more than flirt.

[@tripe2237]

The bug with Craig seems to be caused by the quest wanting you to unlock his cage but the door is already open when you get there. The easy fix is to simply close the door and open it again, which updates the quest.

[@iloveowls90]

The scene between the sole survivor and the Gunners in diamond city is even funnier if your character is female

[@cerebralhawks4544]

You missed the Ron cell intro cam thing - you might have covered it in the 4h stream. But in base SS2, when you'd enter The Ron's office, the player would be looking down, and would pan up. So people who don't mod might not know this, but doors that change cells aren't really doors, it's a teleport. So you teleport from the Diamond City Market cell to The Ron's office cell, but the teleport target has you facing down. And upon first entry, it makes you look up at The Ron. However, every time after that, you come in just looking down, because that's how the cell was designed. After Chapter 2 was released (or maybe some time before), they changed it so you just come in normally. The original "pan up" thing was not that cool given the trade off, so good to see it "fixed." Anyway, thought that was important to note. Cell hijacking is easier explained by pointing to the Whiterun and Solitude or Windhelm assaults in Skyrim. When you're doing the Civil War quest and you're sent to the town and it's a whole different cell. Fallout 4 didn't really employ that, or at least it wasn't as obvious as they did (they probably did it with the various faction assaults, now that I think about it). And of course SS2 does it really obviously with That One Scene (no spoilers) in Vault 81. I need to do my own series like this, just so I can call out all the bugs I've found, that I forget to report when I get out of the game. I love seeing what this looks like to the developer, but if I can just get out a playthrough how I play... and not get distracted... I do play Fallout 4 a bit differently than most. Based on the way YOU play though, I would recommend taking the perk Toughness first, and then Gunslinger (since you like that pistol) and leveling those.

[@echo7234]

Spoilers and Bug issues!! So I know all of the things to click when in the sub-basement and most of them run fine. However, I’m having a big issue with Jake not completing the animation at the HAM Radio. He goes “Well let’s take a closer look” and walks to the edge of the mats and just stares. Then his name plate disappears and I can’t speak to him. I think I waited about 10 minutes before I just recognized that it was broken. Addendum, There is no dialogue allowance to giving Jake the Vault-Tec Documents. I believe this will where the mod ends for me because the mission will not progress at all.

[@jammeranimated2627]

Question: How long do I have to wait for Jake to sent me that pipboy radio message? Finished Well Well Well and both Supermutant side quest, Built Abernathy Farm with vanilla settlement since it's part of the Triangle of Death, Entered diamond city and killed Kellog with a fatman to pass time and still no "listen to Jake's Private Frequency", also I'm on Survival. Edit : Restart game, have some chat with the Concord pastor and suddenly "listen to Jake's Private Frequency" appeared.

[@sofiadragon6520]

Yeah, I think talking to the pastor seems optional from dialog, but is not actually optional. I use a very minimalist layout for Abernathy Farm called ZJ PerPlans. It isn't pretty, but it does the job and leaves room for the player to do a bit of manual expansion if you want to feel involved. To me it fits the personality of the Abernathy family and since I always make one of the parents the leader...

[@JoshuaArrike]

@@sofiadragon6520 I kinda... killed the lot when I started out because I didn't even have sim settlements installed. I took it cuz of the fortification possibilities and the location of being out of the way. Also had it on survival with the gas mask mod, *fun*

[@sofiadragon6520]

@@JoshuaArrike Some mods you can add mid game, though it is never recommended, but SS2 is not one of them. Expect a lot of problems with that save. 😅 I'm currently playing Living Skyrim 3, so I absolutely understand the "I have so many mods my computer is sad" feeling. I'd love a tool like Wabbajack for Fallout 4, and the collections on the Nexus look like a great idea, but stable modlists are hard to come by.

[@almahdi20]

Lately I've been having an issue right after We meet Aiden and have the shootout. Once all the gunners are dead Jake and Aiden just stand around. Nothing happens. This has happened in my last three playthroughs.

[@almahdi20]

Seems to be working now.

[@LoneWolf0568]

Have they gotten around to the HQ yet? I still don't have enough energy in facilities to build more living quarters to add more people. And my scrap (even though I have a supply line) stays at zero.

[@laurenwoods4199]

The update that fixes HQ dropped a couple days ago.

[@yawgmothhiryuu]

He's only like halfway through Chapter1 by the end of this video. The issues you've described are on *my* radar but I haven't seen any official word about them.

[@babyboy51]

Tell me please, how skip Branigan's bounty quest? Because I can't complete it ((

[@Дайвинг-в3ъ]

I'm the only one freaking from the news about the third part?) Man , I don't need no Srarfield

[@joseruiz7166]

I've been looking over this video and try to follow everything you do I'm in the level where I have to look for the underground basement I'm clicking the button with the rugs are not giving me an option to move.

[@iloveowls90]

You need to go down and click the mats

[@jaildawg1971]

having quest issues with SS2 i think after i turned on the lights at concord no other quests triggered after that. so..........im just wandering around doing random things what do i do to trigger the story ?

[@jmike499]

Does anybody have the bug Where after you press the button you don’t get a prompt to move the floor mats?

[@squeezerdsqueezerd2427]

Has the long save game been fixed? I had to temporare been reverted to simsettlement 1 and wait till this been fixed. The thing i have noticed is whenever this happens i am near a settlement who is being build by simsettlement 2. If i am far away from settlements or indoors the game saves really quick.

[@PyroTheGunner]

I'm having problems with Jake after watching him build the recreational plot

[@johnnydavis7635]

My game is stuck on the part in the basement. Jake just keeps telling me to let him know if I find something interesting. 🙄

[@jjbguidry7789]

HEY. when i press the button, it clicks and i hear the thing under the mats, but i cant do nonthin with the matts!? i cant move them at all. yes i even clicks on to the matts but they dont move, i cant do anything HELP!!!!

[@iloveowls90]

Because you need to look at the mats the button just shows you where it is

[@HOTSTUFF8120]

that terminal at 12:34 is still bugged

[@why_wait]

Think you should have left the safe scene in but made it out that it was booby trapped

[@andyday6722]

Do I need automatron to play chapter 2? I know it states you do on the SSM website but users have said it worked without. Thanks

[@danielgagne7153]

Is that really the story behind The Ron? I'm surprised, because I thought I could almost Smellelelelelelellllllll what the Ron ..... was .... coooking! :D What did you say your friend's name was? .... It does not matter what his name was, because The Ron is .... a ... great .... character! OH Yeah!!!!

[@Duckman-xi9ys]

I wonder how big ss2 chapter 3 will be I’m a console player

[@yawgmothhiryuu]

They've said in the past that they *will* make it able to fit onto the Xbox, but the concern will likely be that you have practically no space left over for anything ELSE once you get all three chapters in.

[@FutureMartian97]

What track is the outro song?

[@sirvalentine8883]

kinda sad he. ot wearing his blue baseball cap :/

[@socioshortss]

[@davegreen9155]

[@iloveowls90]

[@almahdi20]

[@iloveowls90]
