Benevolent Leader Achievement Problem

[Sarah]

Hi guys,

I’m trying to get the Benevolent Leader Trophy. I’ve got my happiness to 100 at Croup Manor. It’s been 100 for several game days but I’m not receiving the trophy.

Do I have to do something else? Like talk to a settler or use a terminal or something?

I’ve stayed in the settlement for days both sleeping and waiting, but nothing is happening.

Can anyone help?

When I got my achievement:

You had a nice settlement there. It took me some time to realize it was Sanctuary. :)

Yeah had some fond memories of that playthough. I remember every inch of the houses around that tree were filled with shack houses and some utility/commercial buildings in between.

I regret deleting that save file for disk space :(

This is where I earned the benevolent leader achievement.

I had three settlers, one was a caravan worker, one was a farmer, and the other was a bartender. I had a weight bench, a potted plant, and two cats.

How come it didn't unlock for me before?

The game can be quirky...I have had a few achievements not unlock for me, and I had to go back and troubleshoot the heck out of them.

It might also be an issue with settlement calcualtion. Sanctuary and Abernathy Farm are known from having issues with calculations, for various reasons.

For example, game can read original beds in Abernathy Farm as reserved, but settlers themselves might not actually read them being owned by them. I noticed that, when happiness calculations didn't match there at all. Replacing all four beds and building new ones fixed the issue.

I gave up trying to get this, I can get to 90ish and as soon as get there, it then starts to drop back down till it hits 80 and stays there, I build some more items to increase happiness it goes back up to 90 then a bit later drops back to 80 again.

This has happend in multiple settlement and save games, it is as though an attack or something similar has happened, and defence of the settlement has failed, but no message or anything to say it has happened, annoying to say the least.

If you believe that you have filled requirements, then stay in the settlement to get this achievement.

You might have noticed that Pip-boy sometimes displays weird values, which will go away when you get back in to settlement? Game does not actually use those wonky values as such (so it does not actually think that there is just 1 bed, when you have 25), but it is a symptom caused by bug in the code.

Staying in the settlement will allow happiness to progress normally. Leaving the settlement has a high change of breaking the progression.

Did that a couple of times, left the game running with me parked in the middle of the setttlement or as close as i could get, and then went to work, after making sure the pc would not go into standby or sleep mode, came back several hours later and same thing going on, happiness was around 90ish when I left, built serveral items to increase it came back it was down to around 80ish, that was when i gave up trying for it.

Yes I did notice that the pipboy sometimes gives odd values, normally when i go into workshop mode that sorts it out.

Ive scrolled through the posts and and havent read an answer from the OP or Kirus about that: Mods are turn off achievements

[RangerX3X]

You do not have to be in the settlement to receive the achievement.

Dangit!

Oh well I did enjoy my time being mayor of sanctuary in that short span of time(10 hours iirc).
