DLC Timing

Features

• []Enhanced Immersion: Prevent DLC from starting until you're ready, like the Timing Is Everything mod for Skyrim. Is level 20 too low to start Automatron? Use the MCM included in this mod to increase it. Or lower the minimum level if you want to start immediately.

  []Quest Integration: Define a main quest or faction quest that needs to be completed before the DLC is allowed to start. If you don't want to start the DLC until after the main quest, simply set a quest condition in the MCM. Alternatively, you can also remove existing quest conditions from DLC such as Far Harbor.

  []Timed Startup: An option to begin a DLC after a specified number of in-game days has also been included, but isn't enabled by default.

  []Lightweight and Compatible: This mod only touches DLC startup scripts, no other edits are made. It should be fully compatible with the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch, just make sure it's loaded after it in your load order.

  See the Readme File for more information.

  Requirements

    Q. Is this ESL flagged?

    A. An ESL version is available.

    Q. It didn't work!

    A. You need to start a new playthrough in order to be able to control DLC startup conditions with this mod. Several script files from the DLC need to be modified and they're already baked into your save. Also make sure DLC Timing comes after other mods in your load order that also affect these script files.

    Q. When does it check whether it's ready to start a DLC?

    A. For most DLC, startup conditions are checked whenever you travel to a new location. For Far Harbor this occurs whenever you travel to a settlement.

    Q. Traveling to Quincy Quarries automatically starts the Vault-Tec DLC.
