Can you increase the size of settlements in Fallout 4?
Yep, you sure can increase the settlement size in Fallout 4! The game has a size limit for each settlement to prevent performance issues, but there's a neat trick to get around it. Drop items from your inventory on the ground within your settlement, then enter the workshop mode and scrap or store those items. This effectively tricks the game into thinking you're removing items, thereby reducing the size gauge and allowing you to build more. Just be careful not to overdo it, as too much stuff can lag or crash your game on lesser hardware.

Actually, I found that using the weapon drop method works wonders for expanding my settlements. I kept dropping and scrapping weapons I collected from raiders, and it's like the game doesn't even know I'm expanding beyond its limits. Built myself a mega fortress without any mods or cheats! Just make sure your console or PC can handle it, cuz' it can start to chug if you go too wild.
