So if I have Better Settlers, Orphans and Beautiful female settlers running without this patch - what happens? Am I asking for crashes or will I just not get all the variety these mods should normally add? Asking because I just installed all 3 of these for a fresh install of the game and mods and saw this isn't compatible with orphans 6.0 or above and I have orphans 8.2. Dont want to take the time to learn how to do my own patches but don't want to set myself up for constant crashes to desktop when I could prevent that by removing one of these mods. Thanks in advance for any advice!
I would refer to the 3 original mod pages if a patch is any longer required and/or the compatibility of them together. Its been years since I would recommend using this mod, and refer you to my post of June 18, 2017.
Hello, I realize this is an old mod, but could you please make a patch that only requires Orphans and Better Settlers? I don't really like the BFS mod. I tried to create my own patch, but I got really confused with the instructions and it didn't work. Cheers
There are currently 7 variations of Orphans.esp in Version 6.0. Beautiful Female Settlers has 6 variations of Better Settler compatible versions. So that would involve 42 possible combinations to patch. Well probably only 36 since if you use the "all child" settler version of Orphans you would not even want to patch it, I would think.
While I am very quick to admit this Mod is out of date, it may still offer to some folks a template for making their own patch. But I won't be updating it for all those combinations.
My suggestion is while in xEdit:
Copy as an Overwrite - Leveled NPC - LCharWorkshopNPC from Beautiful Female Settlers into a new esp called something like MyPatch.esp Copy the Leveled List Entry(s) in Leveled NPC - LCharWorkshopNPC from Orphans into your new MyPatch esp
I'll try to make the main description page clearer that this mod is not compatible with Orphans 6.0. Thanks for the heads up.
hi! thanks for this lovely piece of work, we have exchanged comments in orphan mod page, it's very nice of you to provide us with your patch, but the fact is this patch requires BFS BS compatible.esp where i'm having BFS - BS Compatible - VMSR - NGR.esp, so don't know whether it would work or not, anyway thanks pal & a kudos
I guess I should have asked which version you were using. Will add an optional patch for that version of Beautiful Settlers this weekend. See my comment to other post, and I understand why you are sticking with current Beautiful Settlers (because I am) until perhaps starting a new play through and then updating to Lots More Settlers.
all right then, i'm sticking with beauty for now edit: thanks for adding the said patch, i'm going to install it and let you know what comes out of it in next couple of days
Is this compatible or needed with Lots More Settlers and Enemies? This is the new and recommended version of Beautiful Female Settlers by the same author.
It is not compatible with Lots More Settlers and Enemies. And a patch is required to make Lots More Settlers and Enemies compatible with Orphans. The way Lots More Settlers is strucured also makes patching much easier then Beautiful Settlers (especially when using something like New Face Settlers). I may just change the name of this mod to Orphan Patches and add a few this weekend (like BFS-BS Compatible-VMSR-NGR.esp). Lots More Settlers, patched will also make the spawning chance of children more reasonable then Beautiful Settlers simply because of the way the "newer" mod is structured.
I'll also try and post a readme tutorial on how to make a patch with xEdit of Mod xyz and Orphans, again this weekend. Its not that difficult in the end, if I can do it anyone can.
