📋 About This Mod
Description:
This mod makes Sim Settlements 2 (SS2) compatible with Extended Dialog Interface (XDI)
This patch edits dialog choices in Grey Matters and Who Can? ASAM! so you know who you are talking to. I have left the older versions of this patch in the installer for backwards compatibility. I recommend using the latest version of this patch with the latest version of SS2.
I wrapped both old and new versions into a FOMOD installer. There is a light (esl flagged esp) version for both as well.
Use v1. 4. 0 or later with the latest version of SS2.
Use v1. 3. 1 only for SS2 versions prior to v2. 3. 2.
I added an optional esl flagged esp fix for Magnusson's terminal at Vault Tec Headquarters so it is readable.
Using a mod manager is highly recommended. This should load after both SS2 and XDI.
Recommended Load Order:
Fallout and/or DLC
(optional) UFO4P
HUD Framework
Workshop Framework
(other .esm)
SS2_XDI Patch
(other .esp)
Delete SS2_XDI Patch.esp and SS2_XDI Patch - Main.ba2 from your Fallout 4\Data folder or with a mod manager.
It is not advised to remove mods from a save you are still playing.
Thank you for the support I have received so far! You guys are awesome. :)
I made this mod for personal use and am only sharing it per a request. I do not plan to update this mod any more than required for my personal use.
If you find a dialog issue where XDI does not display the text, display correctly or seems ambiguous, leave a comment and tell me the quest name and the quest stage. I can look at it and possibly add it to this patch.
Acknowledgement:
Special thanks to Kinggath and the entire Sim Settlements crew for this awesome mod.
Big thanks as well to Registrator2000 & Neanka for creating XDI and permanently ridding us of "Hate Newspapers!"
