📋 About This Mod
Currently adds 100 Leaders for Sim Settlements 2.
Settlers from Vanilla, SS2, and a collection of other mods can now be selected to lead your settlements. In addition, each leader comes with a preferred dynamic flag; however, the flags have been left unlocked in case you like a flag but not the associated leader. With so many leaders added, a range of renamed and new traits have also been included to support diversity between your choice of leaders. Some leaders will be limited to certain settlements and/or locked behind quest progression.
For a list of each leader, what their traits are, the flag they prefer, any limitations and/or requirements: check out the Anarch's Leaders Almanac PDF in the files section.
New Leaders may be either Settlers or Companions. I love SS2 and the leaders system, so I made this to diversify my own play throughs; however, I may have gone a little mad. With 100 leaders in the first release, I haven't had a chance to comprehensively test every leader in my own games. I appreciate any feedback provided on any mistakes that may have crept in. As such, it may be useful to make some of my design choices transparent so you are able to identify what is actually a bug, and what was a design choice.
If a New Leader is a Settler, they should have:
-
[]A Preferred Flag (unique to this Leader, but available for the player to choose if they desire).
[]NO Major Trait.
[]2 x Minor Traits.
[]2 x Weaknesses.
If a New Leader is available as a Companion , they should have:
-
[]A Preferred Flag (unique to this Leader, but available for the player to choose if they desire).
[]1 x Major Trait.
[]3 x Minor Traits.
[]3 x Weaknesses.
Only the mods listed under the Requirements are needed to use this add-on. Leaders added from other mods (Ellen, Buttons, etc.) are only available if the mod is installed, if not, then they are ignored.
