📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
Lets you to recruit Isabel Cruz (The Mechanist) after you complete Restoring Order. It doesn't come with a recruitment quest. Once you complete the quest, she will be added to The Mechanist's Lair as settler. She'll keep her vanilla dialogues, give radiant quests and can be traded with, as usual.
If you killed her during the quest, the mod resurrects her.. It won't resurrect Sparks though, if it's been destroyed. Sparks (if intact) will continue to follow her. Sparks has an embedded Tesla weapon so it's useful during settlement attacks (and can't be destroyed by NPCs).
Ability to turn on/off her settler AI:
Custom console commands that practically allows you to turn on/off the mod.
==> if you'd like her to behave as a normal settler. Notes: once she is recruited, the mod automatically activates the worskhop AI for her, so it's on by default.
==> if you'd like her to go back to The Mechanist's Lair and use her vanilla post-quest AI. Notes: it keeps her as settler (i.e. no "unassignment") and keeps her default dialogues as well (radiants quests, post-quest apology, etc.).
Requirements:
Automatron DLC.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (577 endorsements) and a solid download count (14,921).
- Simple, focused feature that adds a unique character to your settlements.
- Last updated in March 2023, so it's relatively recent and likely maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works after you finish the 'Restoring Order' quest, so it's not for early-game players.
- No additional features beyond recruitment—if you want deeper Mechanist content, look elsewhere.
- Potential compatibility issues with mods that alter the Mechanist or settlement systems.
For Fallout 4 players who've completed the Mechanist questline and want to see Isabel Cruz in a new role. If you're a settlement builder looking for unique NPCs, this is a must-have. Skip if you haven't finished 'Restoring Order' or want more than just a settler.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you've completed the 'Restoring Order' quest before trying to recruit Isabel, or the mod won't trigger.
- If you're using a mod manager, install this like any other mod and enable it in your load order.
- Check your settlement workshop menu after completing the quest—Isabel should appear as a recruitable settler.
