Changelogs
The softlock fix has been integrated into version 0.0.2 of the Starfield Community Patch. You can still use this mod if you want the increased variant chance. 


Highly recommended with my other mod Simple Temple Overhaul - Powers Scale With NG+

NG+ Fixes and Improvements: 


At present, this mod is a script tweak to MQ401 which does the following.

  • Fixes softlock issue with NG+ scenarios that prevents you from saving or opening the inventory.
  • Default chance of a variant universe increased from 15%->90%. See a different universe with each iteration of NG+.
  • In NG+10 and beyond, variant universe chance is halved from 90%->45% so that players have an easier time settling down in normal universes if they wish to do so.
  • Optional files with different static variant universe percentages. (25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, vanilla)

Any further tweaks would likely have to await the CK, but feel free to suggest any ideas.

A Primer On New Game Plus (Spoilers)
When you enter NG+, the game will transport you to a "new universe", upon which you lose everything except your skills. The first NG+ universe is always identical to the base game. But in NG+2 and beyond, you have a chance of encountering a "variant universe" which involves unique scenarios at the Lodge. These scenarios include: finding the lodge empty, finding sarah as a plant, the hunter killing everybody, and even meeting yourself in the lodge. 

The NG+ scenarios are one of the coolest things you can find in the game, but there are two problems. Firstly, the chance to trigger one is simply too low - there are about 10 different scenarios but the chance of getting a variant universe is only 15%. This means that the average player will realistically never see a single scenario, let alone all of them! If you did NG+ 100 times, you would end up in a vanilla universe 85 of those times. Even a dedicated player who goes to NG+10 might count themselves lucky to see more than 1 variant universe. With vanilla RNG, the scenarios are just glorified easter eggs in practice, which is a shame because scenarios are all pretty interesting. To make matters worse, NG+ universes are often bugged and will softlock you by preventing you from saving or opening the inventory. 


This mod addresses both of these common grievances with NG+. The bugfix makes all NG+ scenarios fully playable, and at a 90% trigger rate for variant universes, the average player can expect to experience a substantial slice of the NG+ scenarios within a realistic & healthy amount of playtime.
