Fallout 4allows you to rebuild civilizations through customized settlements you’re able to create, but a restrictive size limit prevents you from increasing your colony’s growth beyond a certain point. By exploiting a glitch, you can bypass this limitation and make your settlement’s growth nearly limitless. The community for this game have discovered a couple unique strategies that exploit the glitch to accomplish this goal.
This glitch reaches beyond the parameters of the game, causing it to have negative consequences if your system struggles already. The size limitation on settlements is designed to restrict the number of resources your system has to load. Exceeding the normal max count of objects in a settlement can crash your system if it is unprepared to load everything whenever you visit thelocation of your settlement inFallout 4.

How To Skip Settlement Size Limits In Fallout 4
Expand Your Community Without Restraint
The most common method for implementing the settlement size limit glitch is todrop weapons and armor onto the groundbefore placing them in the Workbench. When you enter your settlement, drop heavier items to the ground, thenenter Workshop Mode. From here, place the dropped items in the Workshop or scrap them entirely to create more space in your settlement’s size meter.
Heavier items likePower Armor inFallout 4tend to free up more space in your settlement’s size meter for expanded growth, but make sure you are only storing or scrapping unimportant items in the Workshop through the glitch.
The items that reduce your settlement’s size meter the most are Pip-Boys, which you cannot use anyway due to having one of your own. Around 10 Pip-Boys can be found inside Vault 88, a place you can only explore within theVault-Tec WorkshopDLC forFallout 4. Simply use the same process you would for any item by dropping Pip-Boys you find in your settlement before transferring or scrapping them.
Settlement size can also be increased through console commands, but only for those playing on PC. To do this, you mustselect the settlement whose limit you want to increase, thenfind the Workshopbeforeusing the"`“key to open console commands. From this point,enter"setav 349 3675555555.00"and"setav 34b 3675555555.00"to give your settlement an unlimited size meter permanently.
