Counter for # of idle settlers, show current job on mouseover, assign random idle settler button

[DragosDrakkar]

What I want is two different settler related mods

 

One for giving settlers randomly generated names (I just find them all being called 'Settler' to be kind of impersonal considering they live in your settlements, I want settlers that I can care about and them having names would help with that).

 

The second for adding text under the name of settlers that tells you what their job is (though honestly most of the mod ideas mentioned in this thread have been great).

 

I also want a mod that allows you to assign 'policies' that apply to certain groups of settlers (by job) or just apply to your whole settlement, like a dress-code policy. For example you choose the 'Farming Uniform Policy' in a menu then all your farmer settlers wear the chosen uniform while farming (the uniform could be customizable). Also the ability to assign beds, buildings and areas to individuals and groups would be cool. You could set up a guard baracks and give everyone their own bed so noone sleeps in your bed that is inside your house.

 

There's just so much I wish could be done with settlements and most of it will have to wait for the GECK to come out.

A nice collection of ideas for upgrades to the settlers. The random name would also mesh well with the menu idea I posted, since it would be easier to say "Oh, okay, Bob over there is one of my farmers." rather than trying to figure out which of the dozen settlers is doing the farming.
