Is there an easy way to get the benevolent leader achievement?

[Coil_Whine]

I'm so confused on where to start. 42/50 achievements here, but I want to unlock the Benevolent Leader achievement. Is there any way to get it really easily?

any achievement that needs to do this is not worthy of the name achievment.

Ive had covenant with 9 (alll ladies) at 95-99 for two months in game. Its my ladies pen, all of them wearing dresses or harnesses for when I need to kick back and enjoy the view. :P

Ok. Can you get like 500 caps an ingame day from one of your shops? I think there's a way to grind caps off of a Tier 3 shop. Haven't built one yet but I've heard of it.

its not a day thing. its based on time you spent doing other things in the world.

all of my settlements had 8 shops and 22 ppl(20 settlemts total) after 2-3 hours of doing quests or exploring, I would make rounds and the average amount of caps were around 500-1k each. near the end I couldnt spend the caps fast enough. The amount generated seems random.

Saw this on Youtube, it's a glitch but it may be an easy way to get enough resources (via vendors) and caps to build shops and such. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvrqtqjxj54

Hot damn, that caps exploit actually works.

if i wanted to do that glitch, it would be quicker for me to just consol command unlimited caps...no?

I got my 100 on a settlement with no trade stations 5 basic turrents and 2 settlers

County crossing. No fancy decorations no supply lines no guard towers. It slowly ticked up and up and i avoided going near it. No idea why it happened.

I do have a feeling that provisioners that come under attack take away from happieness but its just a feeling no proof.
85-86 is about the highest i ever see unless i stick around in that settlement.

Nice. Now that I have 10k caps, I'm going to do this method. 9000 caps and around 2 hours of waiting. Should work fine. https://www.reddit.com/r/falloutsettlements/comments/3ub076/fallout_4_benevolent_leader_trophy_fast_and_easy/

I'm doing the benevolent leader achievement and Red Rocket is stuck at 88% happiness

[Coil_Whine]

reloaded my save, yeah it stil gets stuck at 88%. No up or down arrows. What should I do, my stats look perfect?

[Nite69]

Better then mine, I can't get sanctuary better then 85%

[Coil_Whine]

Reloaded my earlier save at 81%%, now at 83%. I followed this guide to a T, not sure how I fu-cked it up.

[Coil_Whine]

Now at 84%. I'm worried it may stop at 88% like it did last time. Why does it do that? My size is yellow, 60 defense 6 people 6 food 7 beds.

Bullet point of what I did.
1) Find a new settlement that has pre-existing buildings. I used Kingsport Lighthouse, but I've heard tell that the boathouse or Croup Manor works just as well.
2) No trade routes, no companions in this settlement, just 100% settlers.
3) You want 3 settlers assigned to farming, and everyone else to manning aid station stores.
4) Make sure to set up your defenses right, you dont want this place to be attacked.
5) Every last bit of settlement budget is spent on paintings. Put pictures of cats up on every available square inch.
6) Kingsport Lighthouse is perfect for this. There's a house for the beds, plenty of ground for the stores, a tall structure to place turrets in for best field of vision, and plenty of natural walls to spam paintings.

Its not too hard, but you need to check back once in a while, especially when new settlers join, so you can assign them to an aid station. After that, just resume whatever you're doing and after a few hours of real world time, you should get your achievement. If you're lazy, you can do what I do, skip the radio tower and simply relocate 18 settlers to the new settlement, then reassign them and wait.

If you're short on resources, save the game, scrap a settlement or two, then do this. Once you get the achievement, reload the save.

How long did this take you? I'm doing the red rocket method. I grinded for 3 hours and it stopped at 88% happy. Now I reloaded my old save and for the past 2 hours been grinding. 71%. I think I'm gonna leave my computer on all night.
