Fixed Named Settlers/Companion Jobs

[SteelBlood2]

TL/DR: Companions and base game named NPCs as fully functional as settlers.

 

I have spent hours and hours trying to get certain NPCs that should work as settlers to actually work. And I am aware of the setpv commandable or addkeyword commandable and such commands. An example of who I am talking about is Codsworth. Using a Vanilla save, He is not counted towards the settlement population (like automatrons do), and he can not hold a job. If you assign him one, it unassigns him as soon as you fast travel. I've heard this is not the case for everyones game, but it is a common issue.

 

Quite a few other companions have similar issues, as do NPCs like Penny and Swanson from Covenant. There are also cases where an NPC should count as a settler, but making them one through commands doesn't quite work either. Examples are Mr. Goodfeels and Isabel Cruz (I'm aware of Mechanist Settler that supposedly fixes her).

 

If you can think of a vanilla NPC that has similiar issues, post a reply and I'll add them to this list of NPCs that need to be fixed as Settlers:

(Know there are more but can't remember them all)

 

Companions

Graygarden Robots

Covenant Settlers (including Deezer)

Isabel Cruz

Mr. Goodfeels

 

I think there are some problem settlers in Bunker Hill, Warwick Homestead, and Somerville Place but don't remember which ones.

Amazing Follower Tweaks,

Make Settler.

 

Issue I have is Dogs, from Gene(Base), Cages(Contraptions), Erickson(Far Harbor) and Creation Club.

I use AFT and 'More bang for your Bark' to use them as a follower or just equip gear, but from then of they have human settler subtitles, there's no preset to give them Dogmeat's perks and reactions for example.

 

But I have had the idea of a protection pod for Automatrons to idle/'relax' in like a bed but not literally because they wouldn't use that.

And also be able to tell them to power down in there for storage.

I use a mod that gets rid of this already but having a pod per robot would be a cool mechanic to eliminate the 50% happiness cap for robots.

 

I know this is only very loosely related and I apologise, creating your own posts and really putting your heart and imagination into it and then it never recieving a single comment is off-putting.
