📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
Makes recruiting and having Trader Rylee as settler a bugfree experience. Fixes vanilla bugs (like the "Rylee disappearred from the settlement" bug, the broken recruitment dialogues: Rylee's response line, Player's questions, etc.) and it also comes with some improvements such as the ability Trade items with her.
Notes: I'm aware that Trader Rylee is supposed to be recruitable in the vanilla game too and that the mod is more of a bugfix than an actual recruitment mod (please, no need to let me know about these). Still, I'm uploading it in case anyone's interested.

If you haven't met her yet: you can recruit her as usual. She'll be in Longneck Lukowski's Cannery. She becomes recruitable once she leaves the building after the argument scene.
If you have met her but haven't recruited her: she'll be outside of the cannery (at a nearby building). A miscellaneous quest marker will show her location.
If you already have recruited her: while of course you don't have to recruit her again, the mod can be still useful due to the vanilla bug fixes and improvements it comes with.
If she's been already disappeared from your settlement: the mod will move her back to the settlement that you have assigned her to. She won't disappear again..
Compatibility:
The mod does not overwrite the vanilla quest "Mystery Meat" or her dialogue quest either. There shouldn't be any compatibility issues.
This mod fixes numerous issues with Trader Rylee in Fallout 4, ensuring she stays put, can be traded with, and has working dialogue. It's a must-have for players who want to recruit her as a settler without the usual bugs.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or NMM to install—it's a simple drop-in, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- Load this mod after any other mods that affect Rylee to ensure its fixes take priority.
- If you're on PC, make sure you have the game's script extender (F4SE) if required by other mods, though this one likely doesn't need it.
