Increase Settlement Size via Console
  1. Enter workshop mode.
  2. Open console with the ~ key, click on the workbench, type:
  3. getav 348 - Gets the current number of triangles used by player.
  4. getav 34A - Gets the current number of draw calls used by player.
  5. setav 349 # - Set the maximum triangle budget for the settlement.
  6. setav 34B # - Set the maximum draw budget for the settlement.

Video Evidence that it works:
Optimization - Optional
Let's try and minimize the damage to our hardware:

  1. getav 348 - check CURRENT triangles
  2. getav 34a - check CURRENT draws
  3. getav 349 - check MAX triangles
  4. getav 34b - check MAX draws

Now, the trick is to only change the MAX draws or triangles if the CURRENT ones are almost reaching the limit.

  • Only increase MAX triangles when needed.
  • It is usually the MAX draws that needs to be increased only.

Do not over do the MAX triangles/draws to avoid any crashes or anything...

  • Try increasing the MAX draws by 1000 each time
  • Try increasing the MAX triangles by 100,000 each time.

I lowered the population in Jamaica Plain from 19 to 16, then scrapped my bedroom and scrapped the number of other beds from 22 to 16. There are plenty of people working the garden (I scrapped 6 corn and 6 melon plants, dropping my production from 24 to 18 ). I still can't build anymore, and although the people are working the garden, no crops are being produced. Anyone have an idea what is going on? Help please.

Hmm hmm, yeah I did try to get a mod for this, but it didn't seem to work haha. I guess I will disable it then. I forgot to do that. Thanks for the reminder. :)

@BelleFaerie those are just the 2 ids you need to adjust.. perhaps another mod is disabling those ids.. :D
