📋 About This Mod
FROST Lone Wanderer perks work only if you don't have settlements but Fallout 4 has the bad habit of adding certain settlements as soon as you enter them. Moreover, some parts of the map, e.g. Sanctuary, won't be accessible to you if you want to use Lone Wanderer.
I like Lone Wanderer and dislike settlements in FROST and I've decided to make this mod to deal with the issue once and for all.
Note that this mod effectively disables the limitations of the perks which means that you can have Lone Wanderer AND full developed settlements at the same time. While this is possible, I strongly suggest to not have both as they will make FROST much easier. My current strategy is to simply ignore settlements that are automatically obtained, e.g. Sanctuary.
Install
Just copy the esp file into your Fallout 4 data folder, select it in your mod loader and move it after FROST. It is important that the esp is after FROST because it will override the FROST perks.
A small compatibility fix for the FROST survival overhaul that removes the no-settlements requirement from Lone Wanderer perks, addressing conflicts with automatically added settlements. Ideal for FROST players who want the perk benefits without settlement restrictions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tackles a real annoyance for FROST players who get settlements auto-added.
- Tiny patch that does one job without bloat.
- Decent community trust with 270 endorsements.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you're using FROST, so it's useless for vanilla Fallout 4.
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not be compatible with newer FROST versions.
- No detailed instructions, so you'll need to know your load order basics.
For FROST players who are tired of losing Lone Wanderer perks because the game auto-adds settlements. Skip if you don't use FROST or if you actually want the no-settlements restriction.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this patch after FROST in your load order so it overrides the perk requirements.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check FROST's mod page for any compatibility notes if you're using other settlement mods.
