I have been back working on this mod for the past week, and wanted to safe an update on what is going on with it. So the big question is the Naked NPC's and No Nameplates bug. This bug has caused me serious issues working out the cause and actually got rid of my desire to mod or play Fallout at all for almost the past year.That said, now I am back I have a bit of a good news, bad news situation. Firstly the good news.
I ave found the source of the bug and am actively developing this mod again. The bad news however is the cause of the bug. It would appear to be a bug in the creation kit. What is causing the creation kit to do it-the kit itself, some weirdness with parts in my pc, I don't know, What I can say is that the issue lies within the leveled character spawns in the game. More specifically that it pulls inventory and base date from templates. This seems to be the issue as with one template active it works correctly. If I have both active though it breaks. The big issue here is that sometimes I can build that section of the mod and it works perfectly fine. Other days I can save the mod after changing something completely unrelated, and it breaks again.
This means I would have to redo the leveled section of the mod many times and if I get it working, not touch anything else. This would cause major issues with making an updates in the future, where I would have to rebuild and test the mod a lot more than any change would require.
I have a couple of potential solutions I am testing and a backup plan in case they don't work. Due to the nature of the issue it will take a lot of testing as mentioned above, so I will update you all on the progress at the end of this month. In the meantime, please consider all other features of 2.63 as being part of the update when I do release it.
I love this mod. Though most of it doesn't fit my playstyle anymore, I've been wondering if there is a standalone mod that fixes the Sentinel CC. Gives the Knight a T-60. Removes the Power Armour from both of the others as they're both meant to be scribes, I think.
Hey brother. I know how much frustration and anxiety the bugs with this mod (and some of the comments and attitude from some Nexus users) must have caused you, but I sincerely hope you'll come back to us. Your work and effort is hugely appreciated, even if some of the community don't show the gratitude you deserve. This mod is 100% a must-have, and I hope some day you'll surprise us with the gift of an updated version.
That said, you do what you gotta do for your mental health.
Take care of yourself. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya.
Seconded. This mod has been a staple of my load order for as long as I've had the game - I couldn't imagine not having it! Hell, the only reason I saw this is because this is one of the few mods I've actually tracked.
If you ever do feel like returning to create more content, I have a few ideas to shoot your way, though I'd be glad to share them with you anyway!
But as the man said, take care of yourself. We'll still be here enjoying your mods regardless!
Yet another "Brotherhood Soldier Template" suggestion - why not just remove "Template" from their name generation? I don't think it's quite that simple but it would at least hide the bug until a true fix could exist.

BOS X is named BOX X in your mod. Needs update.
