📋 About This Mod
The Sim Settlements 2 visitor system creates random items worn from a generic outfit that does not account for the profession of the visitor as described by their name. I figure if a tailor comes to your settlement they likely trying to sell their services and that going to be a lot harder wearing rag clothes. A blacksmith should be earing some metal armor. A fisherman would wear fishing clothes. Sometimes the visitors would even end up naked below some raider metal armor barely covering anything. This mod will fix all these issues and more.
Far Harbor and Nuka World are required. This gives some of the visitors interesting options to wear.
Unlike my SS1 mod Diverse Visitors for Sim Settlements, this mod does not currently randomize the faces of visitors. It does however do a few non outfit things my other mod did. Males don't all use the MaleEvenToned voice but also include MaleRough and MaleBoston. Females are not FemaleOld but FemaleEvenToned, FemaleRough, and FemaleBoston. This should also make visitors work better with my mod Sim Settlers 2 Go Shopping. Females will be between 0. 9 and 1 in height and males between . 95 and 1. 05 in height. Visitors were cowardly in confidence but aggressive which is a weird combination. They will now be unaggrssive. I don't think visitors should be fighting your settlement attacks for you.
Is a NPC record called SS2_GenericLightGuard that I don't know how it gets used but I changed it from wearing the default wastelander/setter outfit to the scavenger outfit which includes light armor pieces. I can improve this once understand how the record gets used and can test it.
