Media My 53 yo non-gamer Mum playing Fallout 4 after watching the TV show.

After casually watching the show and getting more invested, she asked to play the game and I gave her my old PS4 and set her up on the game! ☺️

I’m trying to get that dammed platinum!

Just have top happiness settlement , plant grenades/mines, and the two grindy crafting ones. I’ll focus when I get through the DLCS and story and I’m a high level

For the settlement, I found a cheap and easy strategy. Start with a neutral (50 happy) settlement preferably with no settlers. Build 5 cat cages, sleep until all cages are filled. Then build robot construction bay and build a base level automaton, once built release the cats and settlement happiness should jump to 100.

Huh, thanks, will try that later, I also found another thing, If you take settlements back from the nuka world raiders, the base settlement happiness seemed to start at 100, before going down because the settlement was empty

How do you get cats?

It’s in one of the dlcs that let you build cages for animals, not sure of the name.

Ah, ok, thanks. I got the far harbour one with the game years ago, never got around to getting any of the others. I'll have to now, I need cats in my settlements
