Stuck at 98/99 Happiness
I have a Settlement at Starlight Drive in with 21 people, 24 food, 89 water and 211 defence with a fair amount of paintings, lights, some rugs, radios/jukeboxes and some tvs, as well as 17 level 3 shops (no weapons or armor) but the happiness will never go higher then 99 even when i am there. Does anybody know anything to increase happiness to 100??

Get rid of the TVs. They bug out the happiness.

Also get rid of the Radios and Jukeboxes. Build a couple level 3 Clinics and assign a settler to each of them. You only need 21 food. Makes sure each settler is assigned to a job and a bed.

Radios and Jukeboxes gone, already have level 3 clinics and 21 food now, it still refuses to get to 100 happiness i dont know why. Every settler has a job and a bet as well.

are you staying there, sleeping over a few days?
I assume that you have more than enough beds so you can sleep there too

I havent left it for like, a week or more ingame and there are 24 beds, which is more then enough for all. No companions there currently either.

Don't leave the settlement. Wait 15 minutes. Sleep for 24 hours. Wait another 15 minutes, sleep for 24 hours. It should go up. Just don't leave the settlement, stay in the boundaries :)

Get rid of any things that glow orange when highlighted in crafting mode, make sure all the beds are covered...
You kinda used a big settlement imo, too, which complicates things...
Do you have a blue arrow next to the happiness meter?

Have been doing that, all it does is just keep going back and forth between 98 and 99 happiness. I still don't know why.

There is nothing orange there ( at least anymore), i tripled checked everything, all beds are in a house or in the main tower and there is a Red Down arrow next to happiness.

Have you just placed about a million paintings everywhere to fill up your 'building space'? Pretty sure most people just do that till they get the last point or two.

There are like paintings everywhere, inside, outside on other walls, and a bit of rugs. According to Sparhawk jukboxes and radios arent the best to use. There are also a bunch of flags and some statues, as well as chairs.

Jukeboxes actually work, as well as paintings; they're only partially right about the happiness bug, but It'll only happen if you place too many.
Keep placing paintings if you're stuck at 99%, It might be going down rapidly so just keep at it.

But do you have ANY space available to build things? if so, just keep placing paintings till you LITERALLY are not allowed to build anything. As far as I know, you need 21 people there, enough beds for all of them + you, build a lvl 3 of all the stalls, build a couple of extra lvl 3 clinics, have no tv's, and then just keep placing endless paintings till max capacity of the settlement. All people need jobs as well, and then you win. I watched a video on youtube of it, and the guy just kep placing paintings over paintings till it went up. He did Abernathy farm, but the idea should work anywhere.

Once the things you 'need' to be there are, just start going hog wild on paintings till you can't anymore, then stand around a while.
