📋 About This Mod
4/2/2016
- Update V. 1. 5 with FOMOD Installer - Updated for the new Better Settlers V. 1. 1, includes all three versions of this mod as well as the Mortal Option for each.
This is a Merged Patch combining Better Settlers v. 1. 1 (BS), The new settlers a plus Overhaul vanilla v. 1. 2 (NS), and Beautiful Female Settlers v. 2. 0 - Non-Replacer (BFS).
Running the combined merge of BS, NS, and BFS will expand your possible unique settlers to almost 200, all with the Better Settlers perks and upgraded gear.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU UNINSTALL OR DISABLE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE NEW SETTLERS AND/OR BEAUTIFUL FEMALE SETTLERS DEPENDING ON THE VERSION OF THE MERGED PATCH YOU DECIDE TO USE, THESE MERGED PATCHES REPLACE THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS OF THOSE MODS.
=====
3/20/2016 - Just a quick heads-up, there's a new update out for Better Settlers, v. 1. 1, some quick FO4Edit look-see and some in-game testing shows the current version of this Merged Patch IS COMPATIBLE with the new Better Settlers V. 1. 1.
I will be putting out an update, time permitting, but the new Better Settlers version shouldn't have any problems running with V. 1. 41 of the Merged Patch until then.
3/19/16 - UPDATE V. 1. 41 : Minor fix for 2 settlers appearing incorrectly. Please uninstall any previous version before installing the new update.
=====
3/13/16 - UPDATE V. 1. 4 : New Faces, Custom Hair, FOMOD Installer
New Update v. 1. 4 incorporates the new BFS v. 2. 0 replacements, and also replaces vanilla settlers with Vanilla Settler Replacements v. 1. 1 (VSR). The BFS 2. 0 and VSR 1. 1 faces all have custom hair and males include custom facial hair, all from my mods Lots More Female Hairstyles, Lots More Male Hairstyles, and Lots More Facial Hair. These mods are required for the custom hair to render properly.
FOMOD Installer includes six options, the BS-NS-BFS Merge, the BS-NS Merge, the BS-BFS Merge, and an option for each one that makes the settlers Mortal for those running the Better Settlers Mortal option.
Please uninstall any previous version before installing the new update.
