Game Skyrim Forum

I think its great we are getting patches with new themes and signs etc. to add to our settlements, but I think it would be nice to give us a little bit more space limitations to add onto our settlements as the game gets new features and add-ons. ...I am sure it wont it wont drop the frame rate in a large increment to crash. (just a little bit more)

Do you mean adding more to the build limit? If so there is a glitch for that. Or do you mean more settlements in general, if so the construction set will hopefully see to that when it is released.

As for the Glitch, if you take weapons from the workbench, drop them and then scrap them, it lowers the build limit allowing you to build more stuff.

Yes I did mean more build limit. but I did not know that glitch..thanks but in general as a foundation without a glitch required it would be nice for it to give you more build space.

It works, but there are consequences to it- if you abuse it too much you can have pretty significant framerate drops and other things get wonky as well.

I can vouch for that, after taking advantage of the downsizing of the settlement build limit over 20+ times now in Sanctuary the lag is pretty real and pretty bad, can almost never fast travel out of there without it crashing, I have to leave there, usually as far as the red rocket just to fast travel without the crash. But I would say its probably safe enough to downsize that limit meter about 15 time before you start feeling it on Xbox one, which is what I'm on.

The limit is there for a reason, especially on consoles. The more a settlement is built up, the longer the load times, lag and framerate drops. If you're on PC, then there are mods and of course glitches.

Like I said though, it's there for a reason and I don't think they'll increase the limit.

I wish the zone around Sanctuary included the lake so I could build bridges across it.
