Asking because the mods haven’t done it in the wiki because the game isn’t ‘complete’ yet.
Stuff like Armorsmith, keywords, LooksMenu, etc.
Reinstalled the game and am trying to make sure I haven’t missed anything that is considered almost a requirement.
I currently have:
- Unofficial patch
- Armorsmith
- LooksMenu
- DEF_UI
- Valadicils item sorting
- Unlimited companion framework
- Homemaker
- SIM Settlements + Industrial Rev
- A few random minor tweaks such as extended powerlines and place anywhere.
Thanks for any help
