Fallout 4 - Benevolent Leader - The Easy Way
By Slabhead
The fastest way to unlock the Benevolent Leader achievement by far! I've seen many methods posted but you can do this in less than 10 minutes making it the fastest I've found. All you need is a bit of steel and the Vault Tec DLC.

What You Need
There are a few things you need in order to unlock this achievement in a matter of minutes;-

  • Vault Tec Workshop DLC
  • Steel
  • Empty Settlement
Method
Easy steps to follow;-
  • Make a hard save you can revert to after this is all over.

  • Pick an empty settlement with a good amount of build space (I recommend Boston Airport but other good ones are Spectacle Island or Starlight Drive-In).

  • Go to Diamond City Surplus at the market and buy some Steel Shipments (I recommend at least 100 but preferably 150+ to be sure).

  • Go to your chosen empty settlement and build as many weight benches as you can. These are the DLC items under Furniture → Miscellaneous in the workshop. Do this until the size bar changes colour to indicate a large settlement (it should be full or almost full).

  • Build 1 bed/chair so you can sleep/wait to advance time.

  • Go back to a settlement with at least 1 settler (Sanctuary should be good for this) and re-locate 1 person to your new settlement.

  • Fast travel back and your happiness should hit 100 within a few seconds. If not right away sleep for 24 hours.

Notes
  • You may have to sleep again or wait up to a minute for the achievement to pop.
  • Each weight bench costs 3 steel and grants 2 points of happiness.
  • You can also use the Pommel Horse if you prefer but it costs the same amount of materials and grants the same value of happiness.
