SS2 Extended is available for PC and XBox players as of October 2, 2026.
It was created originally to reduce the SS2.esm file size as much as possible so that XBox players could install Sim Settlements 2 - Chapter 3 and continue the Sim Settlements Story.
Much of the content that was in SS2 Extended has been made available in the Chapter files now, however there is still additional content available only with SS2 Extended.
- Repurposed dialogue for base-game settlers when recruited as soldiers to act as idle dialogue that better fits their role
- Expanded dialogue pools for Unique Settlers: Archon, Silas Canary, and Sneake. (These particular characters were expanded, as the voice actors and writers were kind enough to create additional content for them.)
- CPD Martial Plot building plans (Basic and Advanced)
- Helios Tower building plan and unlock for Archimedes strikes
- Opposite sex versions of most custom outfits for when the player acquires them through Dylan
- Improved textures for several outfits
- New clothing store outfits and settler outfits (most unique NPC outfits now ship with their chapter)
