✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Straight upgrade to tavern recruits—they're actually useful now (249 endorsements).
- Simple and focused: does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Active mod, last updated Nov 2023, so it's not abandoned.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects generic tavern crew—named or special recruits are untouched.
- Tiny scope: if you wanted deeper recruitment overhauls, this won't cut it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter recruit stats or gear systems—test with your load order.
For Outposts players who are tired of recruiting useless tavern fodder and want them to actually pull their weight. Also for anyone who likes customizing their crew's gear. Skip if you're looking for a full recruitment overhaul—this is a targeted tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just drop the file in and activate it—no extra steps.
- Since this changes recruit stats, check your load order if you have other recruit-related mods to avoid conflicts.
- Test in a new game or after loading a save to see the perk level change on fresh tavern recruits.
