📋 About This Mod
Updated 3/14/2024 Fixed a recruitment issue with tagged 'essential' vanilla NPCs where the recruit option never appears. The perk property was mistyped and the needed perk was never given to the player. I've combined the Unique and Essential perks into a Tagged perk for recruiting any vanilla NPCs. In my testing this looks to be working as intended. The Essential perk remains in the mod for backward compatibility but is no longer referenced in the recruitment logic.

Important considerations Please READ :
-
[]If you are running this mod or any of the mods below in an existing game, do not upgrade; start a new game. The older versions (prior to 5/27/2023) of these mods (non esl tagged) are not compatible. Do not mix the old (non esl tagged) versions with the new 'ESL Tagged' versions of the framework or any mods below; you will corrupt your saved game.
[
] Animal Rescue[] Nomads (Wandering Settlers)
[] Recruitable NPCs
[] Normalized Covenant Settlers (formerly Moveable Covenant Settlers)
[]Install the new 'ESL tagged' versions only into a new game, or in-progress games where 'none' of the above mods are/were installed.
-
[]The FCOM patch is no longer provided. I believe v2. 0 of the Framework should now play well with FCOM with no patch needed. I will not be providing further support for my mods and FCOM.
[
]Other mods that use the alternate dialog to interface with NPCs may conflict. If you are not getting a 'R'ecruit / 'R'escue prompt check your load order for any other mods that use alternate dialog/action. Temporarily disable the other mods to see if the recruitment options appear.
RL_Recruit_Framework is a resource mod that provides recruitment dialog and perks for RlBaxter's settler mods, including Nomads, Recruitable NPCs, Animal Rescue, and Normalized Covenant Settlers. It is only needed if you use one of these mods, as it is not a standalone gameplay addition.
