Updates & Changes

Q: The backpacks are invisible and the carry weight stacks!

A: Most likely another armor or clothing mod conflicts with mine. Some mods that use slot 54 (cape), such as pip-boy mods, will cause this issue.

Q: Carry weight doesn't work with Power Armor even though I have the magazine!

A: In order for that to work correctly, my mod needs to load last a lot of the time, or at least after certain mods. This is because any mod that edits power armor effects will have unavoidable conflicts with mine. Unfortunately I don't believe there is a better solution, as I need to make changes to the form called "EnchPA_Abilities", which most power armor mods also change. I can't inject the edits with a script.

Q: Can I use my existing save with the newest patch?

A: This is a tricky question. Most of the time, there is no need for a new game. However, if there are a significant amount of edits in a patch or there is a wide gap in the versions for your save file it may be best to start a new game. As said, most of the time you shouldn't need to, but if the patch edits a backpack's effect, you need to at least drop it on the ground then pick it back up. Another example is if I move a backpack to a new cell and you already picked it up, a new "duplicate" backpack will reappear in that new location. Level lists and spawns should also update just fine on an old save with a new patch.

Q: Why aren't backpacks appearing in the world?

A: Even though there a lot of different types of backpacks, I made the default spawn rate RARE. Be patient, kill lots of gunners and raiders, and be sure to search EVERY suitcase, armor container, armor vendor, and remember that bosses have a higher spawn rate! The settings holotape allows you to edit the spawn rate, but even at +20% they won't spawn every second.
