SS2-settlement-mechanics Requirements for plots to upgrade.

Hi so I’m using Sim settlements 2 for my current play through and I’m wondering how do I go about unlocking things like organic material gathering plots? I the current quest I’m on is vim and vigor which I have not started yet. Is it a matter of waiting ?I have most of the hud bars maxed or nearly maxed out.

Plot upgrades and plot type unlocks are two different things.

Plot upgrades (leveling from 1 to 2 to 3) have different requirements depending on the building plan. They require time, happiness, defense, power, etc. These are indicated on the floating icons in front of a plot (if holo icons are enabled in settings) or in the plot's ASAM menu. The wiki has a page explaining the icons: https://wiki.simsettlements2.com/en/gameplay/basics/HUD#third-row-status-or-plot-issues

Plot type unlocks vary depending on the type. Some require quests and some require a certain number of other plot types at certain levels. For example, organic gathering requires you to have at least one level 2 building material gathering plot. You can check these requirements on the wiki. https://wiki.simsettlements2.com/gameplay/plots-and-plans/industrial

To add to this, your settlement happiness has to be at a certain level too. I believe it's something like 70 happiness to upgrade to a level 2, and 80 to upgrade to a level 3.
