About this mod

Merged patch combining Better Settlers, The New Settlers, and Beautiful Female Settlers. Expands the number of possible unique settlers to almost 200, all with Better Settlers perks and gear.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
4/2/2016 - Update V. 1.5 with FOMOD Installer - Updated for the new Better Settlers V. 1.1, includes all three versions of this mod as well as the Mortal Option for each.

=====

This is a Merged Patch combining Better Settlers v. 1.1 (BS), The new settlers a plus Overhaul vanilla v. 1.2 (NS), and Beautiful Female Settlers v. 2.0 - Non-Replacer (BFS). 

Running the combined merge of BS, NS, and BFS will expand your possible unique settlers to almost 200, all with the Better Settlers perks and upgraded gear. 

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU UNINSTALL OR DISABLE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE NEW SETTLERS AND/OR BEAUTIFUL FEMALE SETTLERS DEPENDING ON THE VERSION OF THE MERGED PATCH YOU DECIDE TO USE, THESE MERGED PATCHES REPLACE THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS OF THOSE MODS.


=====

3/20/2016 - Just a quick heads-up, there's a new update out for Better Settlers, v. 1.1, some quick FO4Edit look-see and some in-game testing shows the current version of this Merged Patch IS COMPATIBLE with the new Better Settlers V. 1.1.

I will be putting out an update, time permitting, but the new Better Settlers version shouldn't have any problems running with V. 1.41 of the Merged Patch until then.


=====

3/19/16 - UPDATE V. 1.41 : Minor fix for 2 settlers appearing incorrectly. Please uninstall any previous version before installing the new update.

=====

3/13/16 - UPDATE V. 1.4 : New Faces, Custom Hair, FOMOD Installer
New Update v. 1.4 incorporates the new BFS v. 2.0 replacements, and also replaces vanilla settlers with Vanilla Settler Replacements v. 1.1 (VSR). The BFS 2.0 and VSR 1.1 faces all have custom hair and males include custom facial hair, all from my mods Lots More Female HairstylesLots More Male Hairstyles, and Lots More Facial Hair. These mods are required for the custom hair to render properly.


FOMOD Installer includes six options, the BS-NS-BFS Merge, the BS-NS Merge, the BS-BFS Merge, and an option for each one that makes the settlers Mortal for those running the Better Settlers Mortal option.

Please uninstall any previous version before installing the new update.


IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU UNINSTALL OR DISABLE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE NEW SETTLERS AND/OR BEAUTIFUL FEMALE SETTLERS DEPENDING ON THE VERSION OF THE MERGED PATCH YOU DECIDE TO USE, THESE MERGED PATCHES REPLACE THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS OF THOSE MODS.

=====

UPDATE V. 1.31 : 

V. 1.31 - New version of all three patches updated for the latest version of Better Settlers v. 0.96, to be loaded after your Better Settlers plugin and add-on packs in your load order.

Also added optional files for each version making all added settlers Mortal, for those of you running the Mortal option in Better Settlers.

=====

UPDATE V. 1.3 : 

V. 1.3 - Fixes issue of males showing up with female voices and adds new faces for the vanilla settlers. Before and after pix of the new vanilla settler faces can be seen here.

=====

UPDATE V. 1.2 : 

V. 1.2 - All faces ripped out of original files, checked for content and consistency with the original intent, and ripped into clean records for the new update. This is probably as clean as I can get this merge. I've spawned over 1000 settlers in testing this update and everything seems to be working the way it should. No mismatched skin tones.

I've included a
BATCH FILE in the miscellaneous files section for spawning settlers. Extract the file into your FALLOUT4 directory. While in-game, open your console and type:

bat wsnpc

This will spawn 4 random settlers from the list of all possible settlers in this mod. Repeat as many times as you want to spawn as many random settlers as you want.

WHAT THIS MOD DOES NOT DO

This mod will not fix any file or save corruption issues caused by the original version of The New Settlers, unless it happens by accident. if you're having problems associated with an earlier install of The New Settlers, you can try to keep New Settlers active and then make sure both Better Settlers and the Merged Patch are after New Settlers in your load order, it might help. No guarantees though.


Please let me know of any issues you have with THIS mod. Thanks.

==========

PLEASE READ:

There are three version of this Merged Patch.

  • One combines BS, NS, and BFS
  • One combines only BS and NS
  • One combines only BS and BFS

Take your pick. They all require Better Settlers to run, and you should disable or uninstall any other versions of NS and BFS if you run the full merged patch, HOWEVER, if you're having problems associated with an earlier install of The New Settlers, you can try to keep New Settlers active and then make sure both Better Settlers and the Merged Patch are after New Settlers in your load order, it might help. No guarantees though.

The NS and BFS settlers have their starting stats, perks, and inventory matched with BS, and are linked to the BS starting outfits and leveled lists.

Running the combined merge of all three will expand your possible unique settlers to almost 200.

Props to Thom293 for Better Settlers and veter75n for The New Settlers, both great mods. Beautiful Female Settlers is my mod.
