🎯 Tips & Tricks
Install SMM with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of files and uninstall cleanly.
When you uninstall a mod that uses SMM, let SMM do its cleanup — don't manually delete files or you might break the build menu.
Check if your other settlement mods list SMM as a dependency; if they do, keep SMM installed even if you don't use it directly.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust: 50,953 endorsements and 3.4M downloads — this is the gold standard for settlement menu frameworks.
- Saves your build menu from breaking when you uninstall mods — a lifesaver for heavy mod users.
- Essential for mod authors: makes adding custom menus a breeze, so more mods rely on it.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may have compatibility issues with the latest Fallout 4 updates or next-gen patches.
- It's a framework, not a content mod — you'll need other mods to actually use it, so it's useless on its own.
- No detailed documentation provided in the description, so new users might need to look up tutorials.
