IMPORTANT Version info when upgrading

Other Important Considerations
- For changes made to vanilla NPCs to correctly take effect, this mod must be loaded before you start a new game. If loaded into an existing game, settings made to vanilla NPCs (i.e. ability to recruit, assign, move between settlements, etc may not set correctly.) Other features, and the NPCs added by this mod, should work as intended.
- Recruiting and or moving the vanilla NPCs from their normal settlements will break some of the associated dialogs and may break any associated quests. I recommend not recruiting/moving vanilla NPCs unless you 1) have completed all associated quests or 2) don't care if the dialogs/quests break (i.e for sandbox play, SKK Openworld).
- Recruitment of the 'tagged' vanilla NPCs is disabled by default, read the section Vanilla Settler Changes below for information on how to enable recruitment of the vanilla NPCs tagged by this mod.

Vanilla Settler Changes
- This mod Updates the workshop script properties on the existing 'named' vanilla settlers at the following settlements and allows them to be moved between settlements. Moving the vanilla NPCs from their normal settlements will break some of the associated dialogs and may break any associated quests. I recommend not moving vanilla NPCs unless you 1) have completed all associated quests or 2) don't care if the dialogs/quests break (i.e sandbox play, SKK Openworld)
Abernathy Farm
Finch Farm
Warrick Homestead
- Optionally allows the following 'tagged' vanilla NPCs to be recruited as settlers (see spoiler below).

Show
Allowing the recruitment of unique NPCs might break associated quests. Only enable recruitment of select unique npcs if you accept this risk. In the console, type the following: Set RL_Recruit_Vanilla to 1 then save your game. If you load a prior save, you will need to reset the global value.
- Given the optional recruitment of Trudy, Patrick.. this mod pairs nicely with Drumlin Diner --- New Settlement ---- and with Doc Drumlin by SKK to provide a new early game settlement complete with a doctor. Since Doc Drumlin is unique she cannot be recruited directly, but if Drumlin Diner is a settlement, she can be assigned to that or another settlement via the workshop.
New NPCS Added
- Adds 40+ unique named NPCs to be discovered and whom can be recruited as settlers. See the NPC list for names of the npcs.
Hint: several of the new unique NPCs were added in locations to benefit settler recruitment in the early game
