📋 About This Mod
These resources are being released along-side my tutorial series: Bethesda Mod School
Anyone is free to use the stuff within for their Fallout 4 mods, but you MUST credit the Sim Settlements Team in your mod description for the work they've done on those resources.
Occasionally you will find a credits.txt file in a folder with an asset, if you do - you must use the information within for crediting instead - this will happen if I get permission to include resources from another person or team.

The resource pack currently includes:
3d Models
- Combined and slightly reduced poly-count nifs for most vanilla weapons
All created in 3ds Max and can be safely used for CK Kit Bashing (aka SCOL Creation)
Animations
- Thousands of character animation files ready to use in Fallout 4.
All converted from Adobe's Mixamo motion capture library by Sebbo!
Demo Mods

This will trace the current AI package an NPC is using to the log file "Documents\My Games\Fallout 4\Logs\Script\User\KGUtilities. 0.log". This is extremely useful when trying to figure out how an NPC functions or why your own package stacks aren't working correctly.
-cqf kgUtil TraceNearestActor - This will trace the nearest NPC reference to the log file "Documents\My Games\Fallout 4\Logs\Script\User\KGUtilities. 0.log". This will allow you to find the ID for the occasional invisible actor issue that can cr
