📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
A very simple mod really. It lets you manage Synth Settlers (adding them to / removing them from the map, etc.).
Also, you can convince or bribe Synth Settlers to reject the Institute and work for you instead.
To convince them, you have to have 5 or higher Charisma. If your Charisma is lower than 5, you can still bribe them. To do so, you need 1 bottle of Bourbon, Whiskey or Vodka (one is enough) in your inventory. If you convince / bribe them, they won't attack your settlements anymore, they'll act like "usual" settlers.
The "Synth Settler Detector" holotape contains all necessary settings and options: 1. enable / disable the activate button. 2. add / remove Synth Settlers to / from the map. 3. apply / remove highlighting for one Synth Settler or all nearby Synth Settlers. 4. Convince / Bribe Synth Settlers to reject the Insitute and work for you.
Notes: I don't know if there's already a similar mod on nexusmods. If there is, please, no need to let me know about it several times in comments. Why I added separate options for displaying female and male Synth Settlers: someone requested it (though for another mod).
