About this mod
Turns the max number of working AI at once from 20 --> 128/255, and max number of NPCs allowed to go into interiors while chasing you in combat from 2 --> 4/6/8/16, so more NPCs can quickly chase you where you go! BIGGER BATTLES!!!
NOW PERFOMANCE OPTIONS OF 32,48 or 64!!! AND ONE INSANE OPTION OF 255?!?!

FIRST OFF, THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY LAG YOUR GAME IF IT IS ABUSED!!! SO DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN YOU GET 2 FPS AFTER SPAWNING IN 100 MIRELURK QUEENS!!!
In case any of y'all wanted it, I added an optional version with the original 20 active and 2 chasing. These are the values found in the vanilla game. It is meant to be placed at the bottom of your load order to help with any performance issues you may find with other mods. Just in case you fear another mod is changing these values, causing your CPU to poo poo in it's tighty whities.
Since I love such huge battles, and it makes the game so much more interesting, I figured I'd put it out here for y'all too, because I just KNOW there has to be so many people that want this as bad as me!
This is my first mod I've updated after coming back from the disaster that was the next gen update.
I have fixed this up and added more options. Including a 255x16 option courtesy of the request made by theoutcastmaster900(Don't be afraid to request any more like a 255x4 or something if you find the amount entering doors at once to be annoying. I kept the value so big because I figured the only ones to actually use 255, would be people doing crazy things, like challenge runs or something.)
Q&A SECTION!
Question: "Which version do you personally use/recommend?"
Answer: Well... really any GPU more powerful than a 1060, and any CPU more powerful than an Ryzen5 1600/I5-6500 SHOULD be able to hand the 128 options. I PERSONALLY use 128x4, simply because most interiors are too confined and if you're being chased by 20 raiders, it's best to have them funnel in 4 at a time and spread out, rather than have 6 or 8 fade in at once and quickly overpower you in the small confinements you're locked inside of. This is also why all options other than 128 and 255 are limited to just 4 simultaneous NPC's chasing through doors. Certain leveled list injections with high textures (EX: 4k Texture armor pieces +2K guns +1k attachments on said guns) for EVERY SINGLE NPC, CAN cause pretty big problems, but that would be present even without this mod. So try not to blame a GPU &VRAM/RAM problem on this CPU mod.
But overall, you should be more than safe to install the 64x4 version for all PC builds, and 128x___ version for more modern PCs (last 7-8 years modern)
Question: "Is it possible to use this in the next gen update?"
Answer: Yes actually, it is. I actually just gone done finishing my new mod list (over 1,000 mods) and it took about 2 weeks. This was the first mod I remade and updated for the next gen patch, adding new versions, better naming, and descriptions to the .esp files themselves in the creation kit if you ever open this mod up and dissect it!
Now ✧✧~✰✰ NEXT-GEN UPDATE COMPATIBLE ✰✰~✧✧
Question: "Can I ESL this?"
Answer: You are safe to flag this as ESL whenever you want. No problems will occur from this; it's tested and working.
Question: "Can I install or remove or even CHANGE the mod option mid-playthrough?"
Answer: Yes, yes you can. This is a simple option that is checked once before actually gameplay and never called on again
Question: "Is this mod compatible or incompatible with any mods, and if so which mods?"
Answer: That is both a very common question and simultaneously a very GREAT question at that! This mod is very lightweight in the code, but has HUGE implications and effects in game. Which is why I was so surprised to find nobody made a mod for this before me. So I have gone through and PERSONALLY made all the options I could for your convenience at one easy location. Nobody else has made something quite like this before, and it surprises me, but it's a happy surprise. Because it means I can say this mod is almost ENTIRELY compatible friendly. The only mod I have EVER seen to conflict with, is the mod where I got the inspiration from. And even then, if you want mine to apply, load it after, if you want the original to apply, load mine before and theirs after. It's fully safe to have both mods downloaded and in your game directory simultaneously, so long as you put your desired mod choice lower in the load order.
Question: "Where did you get the inspiration from this awesome super cool mod that I totally endorsed and downloaded on all 19 of my accounts? I want to make cool mods like this just like you, since you're so cool and awesome!"
Answer: Thank you very much, you genius citizen. Maybe someday you can become as great and as awesome as me. But to answer your question, I actually got the idea for this mod from Realistic Conversations Fallout 4 - More NPCs.
