📋 About This Mod

New companions that are very suitable for a Fourberie playthrough!

Thanks a lot to Ko4evnik for updating the script to 1. 8. 0 and now for 1. 1. 0+. Check out his other mods and if you want to play S&V without Open Source Armory that download is available there.

Credits to Reikander, Eagle and aimdru for updating, ADamnSexyName, Dawa221Modbrowse, rahman530 and Bestmods168 for item models. Check out their stuff!

The mod now features several gameplay changing effects (lots of thanks to 8thor8 and Bleyck)! Thanks for previous old fixes by mylittletantan!

Big thanks to 8Thor8 (from the Distinguished Service and Sergeants for Hire) and Bleyck (from Iron Will: Kleptomania and Wound Experience) and mylittletantan (from the Equipment in Encyclopedia, Tantans Tournament and Item Encyclopedia) for helping me with scripts! Check out their other mods, they work very well with Scum and Villainy!

Compatible with Fourberie! Join one of the three gangs and start your criminal empire. Own your own hideout! For now also replaces some of the troops used in Fourberie for gang fights with S&V troops. Place S&V below Fourberie in your load order.

I highly recommend downloading the Bannerlord Mod Launcher. Load orders are currently the biggest causes of crashes and launching the game through the direct .exe continuously changes load order for the worst.

Banners by /u/Haedvig (Crimson Cartel), /u/jannoinks (Iron Fist), /u/Noslack8 (Seven Scimitars) and /u/iq4153333 (Kingslayers & Blackwater Pirates)!

You can edit the config file of CustomSpawns to turn on debug mode. This will show you where parties spawn (in case you are impatient).

You can download Ardonnay's Troop Changer if you want to recruit troops yourself in Towns/Villages (this is NOT a requirement of this mod, it is an additional feature).

This mod adds new factions, save games without the faction in them will not be compatible.

Installation

Step 0: If you had an old version, verify your game files! You may have old versions of SPClans. XML or SPCultures. XML.

1. Install the Custom Spawns Clean API

2. Download the Scum and Villainy 1. 1. 0 - 1. 1. 4. mod for Bannerlord 1. 1. 0 - 1. 1. 4 (may not work on other versions; tested on 1. 1. 2)

3. Extract the .rar into your Bannerlord folder and tick the boxes in the launcher for both the Custom Spawns Clean API (or Calradia at War) and the ScumAndVillainy mod (or install through Vortex).

4. Don't forget to unblock the DLL if your windows blocks it!

5. Install Open Source Armory; otherwise several troops are naked!

6. Optionally (may not be updated) download Ardonnay's Troop Changer (choose the correct version!) and the optional files on this page to allow the criminals to be recruited in towns/villages. If you are using this function, make sure to save and load the game after you start. Also please carefully read the mod page for more information.

When you boot up the game, bottom-left should show the mod is functioning properly.
