This website is a catalog of addon items for Sim Settlements 2, a large mod for Fallout 4 that overhauls the game's settlement building gameplay. Addon packs are created for SS2 (mods for the mod) to add more building plans, city plans, and other content.

I created an app using Mutagen that scans mod files for SS2 content and then outputs the info in a format that I can then import in to the site's database. I also created a "mod" that makes use of a few script extender plugins and my own scripts to automate a good chunk of the screenshot process. I plan to release the sources for both of these tools at a later date when things are more stable.

Updates aren't fully automated. I check the SS2 section of Nexus periodically for new and updated addon packs. Addon authors can also contact me when they upload a new or updated adodn pack to Nexus.

So that their items can be cataloged.

It's because they share a Nexus page.

No ads. No data collecting/selling. No paywalling. No monetization.

I pay out of pocket for the hosting of this site, as well as others that I run, because web development is both a hobby and part of my job. I create and manage these sites because I enjoy it and the experience also feeds back in to my real job where I also develop web-based tools.

Some might be that I just haven't gotten to them yet, such as new addon packs or addon packs that have issues. Some building plans are misconfigured and cause my screenshot script to fail. Some have even crashed my game. I am going to through them when I can find the time to try to address them individually.

This is a side effect of the script I use to automate the screenshot process.
The green ASAM issue I can fix later, but it's not currently a high priority.

It's because of the automated process. I may go through and re-take screenshots for the larger plans, but current it is not a high priority.

Contact me and let me know.

No, primarily because I don't want to be in a position where I have to moderate user submissions. If you want to see more screenshots, check the Nexus pages of the addon packs.

I may accept screenshots that addon authors want to send me if my screenshots have issues.

It's all a work in progress. I do want to add screenshots for more addon items over time.

However, city plans will probably not get screenshots unless they are submitted by their authors. There are over 700 city plans and finding a way to automate the screenshot process for them is very difficult. In addition to that, many city plans require other mods outside of the SS2 ecosystem that add more issues, complexity, and conflicts. At best I might be able to take screenshots for city plans that don't have requirements outside of SS2 and are only for vanilla and DLC settlements.
