📋 About This Mod
Please visit us on Discord:
This mod removes a large number of the worldspace edits from the The Outskirts to increase compatibility and get it to work without the need for new Precombines. The Outskirts adds a lot of life to the Diamond City area but it just touches too many worldspaces normally. The immediate DC areas and interiors are preserved. I only removed worldspaces outside the immediate DC area.
Now Includes FaceGen
The interior markets have not been altered.
This mod is an ESM to load high. FO4 ESM files handle temporay refrences better. This placement also allows the mod to have it function without Previs issues. The only known-issue is some NPC occasionally walk into objects. I'll happily accept that to not have broken previs and have a more compatible mod.
See 4estGimp - The Fens Empire - Diamond City and Hangman's Alley to see how I've worked this into a large DC group of mods without issue.
Installation
DO NOT install the original Diamond City Outskirts (The Hole REDUX).
1) Only install this mod and NOT the original mod.
2) At a minimum, install Boston FPS fix at about 75% down the load order. We don't want the outskirts to win any of the worldspace conflicts. If you have a few other DC area mods they cover the task.
