IMPORTANT INSTALL NOTES FOR VERSION 2.6 AND ABOVE:
As a result of the changes made in Version 2.6 in order to fix bugs where the correct Power Armour and weaponry weren't being used by quest related NPCs and to avoid issues where upcoming future add-ons might need additional patches to make them work with each other (like how some of the official DLC can cause problems with each other), the mod has had a large number of changes at a base level. As a result adhering to the following is important in order to prevent it causing issues with your game;
- It is highly recommended you DO NOT install the update on a game file where the Brotherhood has already spawned into the game (aka you have seen the prydwen cutscene). Doing do can result in non-power armoured NPC's unequiping any armour of clothing they may be wearing and very rarely spawn in with empty inventories. There is a solution for those on PC at the bottom of these instructions).
- Uninstalling this mod after having made a save file where the BoS have been spawned into the game while running 2.6 or later will result in a large number of NPC's forgetting their data and reverting to level 1 or 2 with their name possibly changing to 'Brotherhood Soldier Template.' Non Power Armoured NPCs will also unequip their clothing and armour. This can be fixed on PC (see below).
- FIXES: - 1. To fix issue 1 the best solution is to open up the console and use 'openactorcontainer 1' on each affected NPC. It is time consuming but will allow you to reequip their clothes and armour as it is still in their inventory.
-2. To fix quest NPCs spawning due to issue 1 with no inventory, or issues caused by uninstalling the mod. Open the console and use 'Recycleactor' followed by '[Targetid].resurrect' This will respawn them with a new inventory and names from the Brotherhood leveled lists and then reset their ai so they resume with whatever job they were means to do in the game.
I have to stress that none of these issues are bugs with the mod. They are simply a result of the game finding data it was relying on having changed and not being able to work out how to fix it. It's a little inconvenient but is the price for having the immersion granted by this mod.
Quick Summary of above
If your current version is 2.54-Can be installed and uninstalled at any point.
Current Version 2.54 updating to 2.6-Caused issues from point 1 if the Prydwen has already arrived.
Uninstalling 2.6 after updating-IF you have saved after updating then uninstalling
will not revert the issues now present in the save mentioned in point 1.
If you haven't saved then the last version linked to the save file is
2.54 and all will be fine.
Installing 2.6 before the Prydwen arrives and then uninstalling after-will cause issues mentioned in point 2.
