Fallout 4 - How to get a Settlement with 38+ population - Maximum Population?

Fallout 4 Maximum Population - Part of my Fallout 4 Settlement guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=556768268 So as some of you know, the maximum population limit for a settlement is 10 + Charisma. Well, turns out if you dope yourself silly and move all your Settlers to that town you will end up with something like this... During testing I discovered that the math was slightly off, I am not sure why that is so, but regardless, having a settlement of 38 population will give you so much caps and resources from tax you wouldn't even know what to do with them.

1. sanctuary hills is blurred out when i try to move someone. why?
2. Nice thanks, i never thought of doing this!
3. Max settlers in vanilla without cheats: 56 settlers
   
   5 pieces of unyielding armor (3*5=15 ), hat +2 ( dapper gent from far harbor), +1 glasses => +18 from armor
   
   many choices of alcoholic drinks give +1 cha , with "party boy" level 2 alcoholic effects are doubled +2 => +2 from alcohol 10
   
   normal max of cha, if you temporarily lower your cha eg with daddy-O , then you can use
   the special book and the bobble had figurine to get 12 max cha from special stats => 12 from special stats
   
   +1 from barbers chair => 1 from vault add-on
   
   daytripper +3, grape mentats +5, x-cell +2, smooth opperator +3 those are the drugs you
   can take to temporarily increas cha for quite a SHORT span of time => +13 from drugs
   
   +10 for settlement max inbuilt in game => +10
   
   this sums to up to +18 (armor) +2(alc) +12(stats) +1 (vault) +13 (drugs) +10 (settlement) = 56 total
   
   I have not tested out if smooth operator( from nukaworld recepie) and grape mentats go together. But they should as all the drugs are stackable. As the drugs only raise the cha for a short period of time you can pump up only a limited number of settlements. Daytripper and x-cell are hard to find as random loot in chemboxes and boddies. I have the feeling that gouhls drop daytripper from time to time. And there are a view locations where those 2 are placed one-time fixed until picked up.
   
   So you play with your charisma armor on for some time. All your normal settlements get between 25 and 40 settlers (depending on how much of the cha armor you allready have).Then you go to an unimportant settlement, gulp alc and drugs and transfer
   the settlers from there to the capitals where you want to have maximum settlers.
   
    And then you are free to do Rouge Robot to further increase population.
   
   Of course this is a very special set up (with the special book and bobblehead only taken after you have 10 cha with daddy-o) for a playthrough where the main aim is to resettle the commonwealth and bring food and clean water to as many people as possible.
4. Thxs
5. I have a population of 45 in vault 88 :)
6. so once you moved them will the settlement that they came from get new people
7. Or you could use mods CUS some of us are cheaters
8. i tried this without using the console, just chems and clothings.
   got 21 Charisma in total. moved some Settlers from different Locations to the Castle and Sanctuary Hills until i had 21 Settlers in Both Locations. then, after some quests i went to Warwick Homestead and : DAFUQ?? I suddenly got 43 Settlers there! LoL! funny thing is : i have almost nothing there in terms of food, water, defense and Beds.
9. Is this counting non-active followers and "special" NPCs (Drink'n buddy, Vault-tec representative ext.)
   If so, then damn. Factor all the perks from not picking any side right away (Mortar volley, Minute-man patrols, Minute man aid, Brotherhood patrols) and you've basically guaranteed to an easy game.
10. you scuk
11. This makes a lot of sense, because one time I had on gear with high char once and I only had 19 ppl in sanctuary I go out in the wasteland for a lil while and then pulled up my pip boy and it glitched on the workshops screen and showed sanctuary having 37 pop.
12. For some reason this won't work for me. I'm at 20 settlers in Sanctuary and I can't even send anyone there nor can I send new purchased dogs or companions.
13. Great for console, if on pc, save yourself the hassle and use mods.
14. thanks for ur info
15. I have had 64 at The Castle for over 4 months now, it's busy as hell down there.
    Also have 38 at Graygarden.... i did absolutely nothing to achieve these numbers, i just checked my Pip one time and there they were.
16. Well they all stay if u take everything off ???
17. your ugly character made me cum
18. Now what about settlement happiness? I figured this out when the game first launched too, but I noticed my happiness drop after I went back to normal charisma and was "overpopulated." I could figure out what was causing the happiness drop but when I moved my settlers the happiness went back up.
19. For some reason I can't add any more settlers to the castle. When I click move settler the castle is faded out. I only have 16 settlers at the castle.
20. If you use the "your special" point after you have 11 charisma then you can get 12 charisma plus the drugs and clothing
