About this mod
Fiddler’s Green is a swell little trailer park, perfect for 16 settlers who don’t want war with the Gunners but want to support the cause. There is a very nice player home.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
The following plot types are included at level 3:
5 Agri, 1 Comm, 3 Indust, 2 Martial, 2 Muni, 4 Rec, 11 Res
~~~~~~~~
These are leveled plans!
As these plans are intended to be a bit smaller and we are going for overall load order balance, these are leveled plans. The focus is on the player home/apartment with the idea that the folks in these settlements aren’t capable of actively participating in a war with the Gunners.
There’s no place like home:
As the leader of your own faction, you spend all of your time on the road. Traveling to rally the smaller settlements, ensuring their safety and production/training capacity comes with the benefit of home spaces you want to spend more time in. Afterall, there’s no place like home.
Series Mod List and Locations
Every series, I choose a modlist to adhere to. Occasionally, a new one gets added, or in testing plans I discover one needs to go. After 6 plans, it was time to switch it up. There are two new mods on this list - plus the CC content. A few have been removed from the former list.
This series will be my last for a while. I’ll be taking a break to do some modding this Summer.
The locations for this series are all modded and will be:
✔ Fiddler's Green Settlement - With Immersive Repairing
✔ Lake Cochituate Village Settlement
The Slog Deep Clean and Remodel
✔ We Can Live In - Rock Island Lighthouse
I like to build with mods! Afterall, we’re on a mod site!
New series, new list. I’m using some CC content because I enjoy it and wanted to enjoy mods that have either been sitting on the shelf, or are new and exciting.

*What You Should Be Using
Settlement Menu Manager You should absolutely be using this
These will not take up slots - so use them
SMM Patches by Vanguard (Declutter your workshop menus) Grab the file for Renovated Furniture.
Business Settlements Categorized - highly recommended
Not Required, but to get my look - will use no slots:
Clean and Optimized Wood Texture Replacer for Shacks and Greenhouses Wood Replacer - Shacks and Greenhouses 2K (there is a 1k version)
Clean Barns - Replacer, Vanilla Windows Only
Clean Warehouses - Windows and Holes Patched
EoW - Pre-War Books Retexture - Changes all book covers in game. Great way to improve the vanilla clutter assets.
For those who are comfy at Discord:
Elm Shrub Hider by FrogPrincess - Available only on Discord under my-misc-mods. This one is just handy. Removes these shrubs (that are often in the way or stick up through floors) from the world.
To see what else I use in my load order, peek at my recommended list below. There’s some goodies in there.

I want to thank Kinggath and the Sim Settlements 2 team for filling my secret gaming life with thousands of hours of fun and adventure! And a special thank you to that bunch of scrappy builders and kind moderators over at We Are Builders.
Note: Inevitably, in all city plans, minor issues arise some of the time with no clear consistency. There are just so many scripts. It just happens. So let’s do a quick checklist:
- Do you have settlers standing around in clumps doing nothing? Scripts + ‘too many settlers’ (turrets and spotlights count as ‘settlers’) is the likely reason. Consider using THIS awesome extra mod ‘More NPCs’ by Gorgulia. You do not need Realistic Convos.
- Power. It likes to break.
- Start by grabbing any plot displaying the unpowered icon and then let it go - to snap back into place. This resets the plot and usually forces it to find the radiant power. In testing, this almost always works.
Sometimes plots don’t build as intended. Honestly, there is no rhyme or reason, but I’ve noticed some locations are worse than others. You might consider:
- Are the plots unlocked?
- If the plan got stuck, you won’t be able to build the correct plot, even if there are two and one didn’t build. I’m afraid the only way to get a plot you don’t yet have unlocked is to cheat and unlock them all. You can use the holotape or drop a desk and find it there under tools/cheats/etc.
Other, valuable mods I have installed:
Boston Natural Surroundings I just love the new beta. I’ll worry about Winter later.
Climbable Ladders for Settlements Make it possible to do so much more. And so cool.
Settlement Activity Markers These provide more things for settlers to do (in addition to some important assets) While the markers don’t export in City Plans, they can be used in game to liven up your settlements!
Settlement Tidy Bot to rid yourself of those pesky bodies and skeletons!
Videos of the Wasteland Fun to have and I leave spaces in all of my plans for the
Painting Replacers
Just want to switch out some of those ugly vanilla paintings? I download all of these and make one folder with the replacements that I prefer. It’s a nice mix that provides variety.
Bob Ross Happy Little Paintings
New Paintings for Player Home
More Paintings for the discerning homemaker
Pickman Paintings Replacer Another Option
I use a few of the SFW Atom Bomb Pinups as well - most are NSFW, but I manually chose a few replacers that are more cheeky and less nakey.
