Simple Needs and Simple Needs Expanded Compatibility Patch Guide

Description Summary

===================

A guide to help navigate ensure you have the right compatibility patches loaded for Simple Needs or Simple Needs Expanded.

===================================

If you are using Treb's Simple Needs or Clockmon's Simple Needs Expanded, you will need to choose the right compatibility patches.  Due to the numerous patches and different variations of Simple Needs, this can be a confusing process to ensure the intended result.  I suggest printing this out and check off the compatibility patch as you have it ready to run.  Each patch lists the DLC or mod, patch author, patch esp, and http location.

The Simple Needs Variants

=========================

(1) Simple Needs V4. 5 (Treb): Adjusts injestible weights to indicate nutrition provided.

(2) Simple Needs Expanded V1.x (Clockmon): Adds new features to Treb's V4. 5.  Also adjusts value and other effects (health restored and rads restored) if the item's weight was adjusted.  Only player-owned and rented beds provide the Well Rested perk.

REQUIRES Treb's Simple Needs V4. 5.

If you are using Simple Needs V4. 5, use these patches

=====================================================

(1) All beds are designated "Player Owned" and provide the Well Rested perk.

(2) The MMM patch does not include the Albino Radscorpion Meat from Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Broken Steel.esp, nor is there a Simple Needs patch just for that food item.  I made a personal patch to include it as Snack Food.
