📋 About This Mod

The Slog is portrayed as a safe haven for ghouls, but upon claiming the settlement, the chance of ghoul settlers responding to a recruitment beacon is quite low (under 10%). The Slog Spawns Ghoul Settlers changes this by ensuring that the settlement always spawns ghoul settlers, although you can move non-ghoul settlers to the Slog if desired.

Since the vanilla settler face pool contains only four ghouls, The Slog Spawns Ghoul Settlers (v3) includes a small face pool of its own consisting of 36 ghoul faces (including the four vanilla ghouls), evenly split between males and females. Essentially, this face pool reproduces the vanilla settler pool, but all of the faces are ghoulified.

Optional Files

If you're looking for even more ghoul face variety, I've created two patches to achieve this. One ties into the ghoul settler face pools from Diverse Settlers while the other calls on the ghoul settler face pools from Diverse Wasteland. Pick the patch suited to the Diverse mod you're using.

Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't alter the Slog's workshop reference (0009B197).

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 336 endorsements and over 166k downloads—clearly a popular pick.
  • Fits perfectly for lore nerds who want the Slog to feel like a true ghoul haven.
  • Lightweight and focused—no bloat, just does exactly what it says.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects the Slog—if you want ghoul settlers elsewhere, this won't help.
  • Requires a recruitment beacon to trigger, so it won't change existing settlers.
🎯 Is This For You?

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place a recruitment beacon at the Slog and wait for new settlers to arrive—they'll be ghouls.
  • If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; no load order tweaks needed.
  • This mod only affects new spawns, so existing human settlers will remain—consider dismissing them if you want a full ghoul population.
