Fallout 4 Sim Settlements - Industrial Revolution Mod

Fallout 4 Sim Settlements - Industrial Revolution Mod is an expansion pack for the popular Fallout 4 mod, Sim Settlements. It adds more plot types and building options, as well as a few other features that are missing from the standalone mod. However, you are free to ignore the expansion and play with the original only, but the reverse is not true, so you need Sim Settlements installed in order for Industrial Revolution to work.

As mentioned before, you have more plot types available in this expansion pack, and as the name clearly implies, most of these regard factories and similar structures. A lot more jobs become available once some of these structures are erected, which means that your settlements become more profitable, at least as long as they are populated with enough NPCs to undertake the new responsibilities.

More sounds have been added too, mainly because some of the buildings did not have appropriate sounds in Fallout 4's default library. This helps a lot with immersion, especially since it's nice to see the developer go the extra mile to polish their product. Speaking of which, a few new features have been added as well, including an option called Direct Control, which allows you to take full control over what is being built in your settlement, although this is obviously optional.

Lastly, a few secrets and hidden extras are part of the expansion too, but you need to put some work into the game if you want to find them. Hence, these secrets can sometimes unlock special skills and various other bonuses, so it's usually worth the bother to search for them

Note: You can install the Fallout 4 Sim Settlements - Industrial Revolution Mod by copying the files within the archive to your Fallout 4 data folder. However, it's important to note that you need the official Sim Settlements mod in order for this to work.
