Overview
From 2019 to 2020 I made a few faction packs for Sim Settlements 1 Conqueror and I plan to port all of those faction packs over to SS2 since its version of Conqueror in the form of SS2 Chapter 3 just dropped. But, lets be clear about this right now, my faction packs never included quests or anything special like that, they were simple mods that added new factions and their units for you to play with and that is what I'll be doing here in the form of including new Loadouts, Ranks, and Special units for you to play with.
Currently the Enclave and the US Army and Communist/Anarchist plugins are available so the mod is more or less feature complete.
If you have a suggestion for a new faction or for different weapons and armor for load out please leave a comment, I can't promise that I will be able to implement your suggest, but I will consider it.
Important Notes
All of the Plugins provided by this mod require a new game, I am sorry, things may change in the future, but there seems to be no way around it right now. If this is too much of an ask then please don't download this mod, I'll understand.
You must download the Faction Pack Injector in addition to whatever faction pack plugin or plugins you wish to download or else things will break because the the Faction Pack Injectors injects Rank, Loadout, Special Unit, and Uniform data into the necessary formlists as opposed to direct edits. It doesn't matter which plugin or plugins you choose to download because the Faction Pack Injector also works as a patch between the faction pack plugins.
All Plugins are now ESP's, do not change them to ESL's or you will break the script injection.
If the flags don't appear in your flag menu then you need to clear the flag cache in the City Manager 2078 Holotape; to do so open the holotape and select tools, then Advanced Tools, then Reset Settlement Flags Cache.
If you plan to take advantage of the Uniforms option understand that if you change the default uniform all of your troops will be wearing that uniform which includes special units. If you only plan to use Default units and want to spice them up then the Uniform system wont mess things up, if you plan to use special units then the uniform system will cause problems, choose carefully.
There is a bug with power armored special units; for some reason soldiers keep leaving their power armor, but there is a fix. If you have a soldier that leaves their power armor simply click on that unit with the R key and then click armory options, then change loadout, and reequip them with their current loadout and they should reenter their power armor. This is no guarantee that they will stay in it so you may need to do it again. Also, if you choose to use the power armor left by these soldiers don't be in it when you reequip them with their loadout because they will reenter the original power armor they left and if your in it that may cause problems.
How to Access the New Ranks, New Special Units, New Loadouts, and Uniforms
- To access the new Ranks first build a War Planner's Desk, then click on the Quartermaster's key (the Vaultboy holding a minigun), this will open a menu, click configure ranks, and then click the change rank option. You will be presented with the exchange menu, move a rank name of your choosing from the left menu to the right menu and confirm. The Rank names displayed in the menu will depend on the Plugin you pick.
- To recruit Special Units simply go to the War planners Desk and click on the Recruitment Radio, then click change army units, and then underneath one of the new units (this depends on what mod you pick, for example the enclave plugin will give you the Enclave Soldier or Enclave Power Armor Elite) click the Adopt Unit Type button and that unit's status will change from unused to Special Unit, click return, then click Recruit Soldiers, then select one of the special units and then hit Queue Unit.
The units you have adopted are important for another reason which is changing loadouts, you can only use loadouts of units you have adopted from the recruitment radio so even if you never plan to recruit a unit it may behoove you to adopt a unit anyways.
So long as you have the resources necessary to recruit the Special Unit, this info can be obtained in the same menu's you use to recruit these special units, your new units will arrive the next day so simply sleep for 24 hours and they should appear.
To speed up the recruitment process build a new martial plot and choose to build a recruitment center.
- To change the loadouts of soldiers that have already been recruited and are in your settlement first have an armory built, then you need to walk up to the unit whose loadout you want to change and click R, then click armory options, then change loadout and, so long as you have adopted the units whose loadout you want to use from the recruitment radio, you can select one of the new Loadouts. The loadout you can pick are determined by the plugin you pick.
- To change Uniforms, which are used by all of your troops including special units, click the quartermasters keys and then select the set military uniform button and then you can select the uniform you want from the exchange menu that will popup. If you want to revert the uniforms worn by troops to their default go back into the uniform exchange menu and select the "Clear Uniform" option to reset everything.
