Hello. Is your mod incompatible with anything? I recently installed like 40 more mods (lol) and now this one stopped working. Thanks for the mod tho :) Edit: It started working again after I chose a leader. Didn't have one.
So, it actually does not allow you to recruit more than the maximum community members. It's still a great mod and I use it, but it helps to know that it caps you at 10 and does not allow you to bypass the standard maximum. And 12 is not any maximum either, I've actually managed to get 15 members without using any mods or cheats (exploits and luck sure, I recruited two enclaves at the same time while playing a Builder leader).
According to the Dev team, the "soft cap" on recruiting people in the community (such as other enclaves or the survivor coming to your base) is 9. Once you've reached 10 people, the game isn't supposed to throw any more recruits your way and you shouldn't be able to recruit from enclaves. As others have noted, it's still possible to go over 10 by having active leader missions that recruit people. But once you have 10, regular recruitment is no longer available. This mod doesn't change that, it simply allows you to get recruitable survivors at your base like you do on Green difficulty.
The devs had also noted that recruiting from the Legacy Pool has a cap of 8. Meaning once you have 9 people, you can't recruit from the LP anymore. They had mentioned that mechanic might be changed, and allow LP to be recruited with 9 active, which would allow you to get to that 10-member "soft cap".
So far, I am not aware of any mods that directly allow you to "naturally" recruit more than 10 people. Other than the leader mission exploit, the only way I'm aware of to gain more people is to edit your community. But the game isn't designed to handle that many, and it could cause problems, so not something I personally advise.

It does not seem to allow you to get the 12 member community, it will stop bringing new recruits to you after your reach a pop of 10.
