Description
GST allows you to finetune most of the important Game Settings, offers several defaults presets. Many of the options and values are based on the popular FWE for Fallout 3. In addition to the presets given, the first time GST launches, it will create an \"Installed\" preset based on the settings it found upon installation, and two more profiles can be created by the user. GST comes with the following default presets: Alternate; Arwen\'s Settings; Fallout 3; Fallout NV; FWE; Harsher Mojave. These presets aren\'t exact cut n paste of the respective original mods, but follow their theme close enough to make them work more comfortable with eachother. Most of the settings have their own category, if you disable the respective categories, the settings will not apply for them, thus you can use other mods in place of that. Otherwise - depending on your update setting - GST will take precedence over any other mod\'s game setting. You can change how often GST updates your game settings to the values defined in it. This may be important if you experience that those settings aren\'t properly applied, or you think another mod is overriding it. The Update Frequency options are On Restart, On Load, On Zoning and Periodic. These are built on top of eachother, meaning if you have it \"On Zoning\", then it will also update on Restart and on Load. Periodic allows you to set an update timer as well.
