What is SMM (settlement Menu Manager)?
Settlement Menu Manager (SMM) makes it all happen automagically. Once your users have SMM installed all they will have to do (99% of the time) in order to remove your mod (and any other mod using SMM) is take it out of their load order. How to add SMM support to your mod: Create a quest and check "Start Game Enabled"

Getting Started
Important Note: the assumption of this page (and it's content) is that you already have the core "Sim Settlements" mod installed and enabled (either Sim Settlements or Sim Settlements Lite). If not, please do that now (or at least make sure to do it before you try to do any of the actions or follow any of the suggestions on this page.
First Steps
Sim Settlements needs for you "find" the Sim Settlements holotape called "City Manager 2078 Holotape" (in game) before you can start using Sim Settlements.
How many categories can you have in a menu?
A: As many as you want; however, there is a global limit of 1024 custom menu categories. I can increase this if necessary, but I can't imagine a situation where you'd need more.
Should you add SMM to your mod page?
In addition to a notice, it would probably be a good idea for you to add SMM as a requirement on your mod page.
Can you uninstall SMM?
A: No, it isn' t actually possible for a mod to automatically clean up after itself once it has been uninstalled. In order to properly uninstall SMM you will have to activate the "Safe Mode" feature SMM has, save, close your game, and then remove it from your load order. Obviously, uninstalling SMM will break any mod that relies on SMM.
Can you use SMM holotape to remove invalid categories?
A: Yes, select the "Settlement Menu Rescue" option in the SMM holotape. It will scan through the build menu and remove every invalid category/menu (without clobbering the valid ones).
