Questions about level lists

[Wunderbot]

First time working on a mod where I'll need to add tons of items to level lists of Fallout 4 settlers. Have two questions that I'd like help with:

1) Do entries to the level list get considered seperate, or do the lists get used as one unbreakable whole? As in, do two mods that add to the same NPC's level list conflict or do they just get combined and items from both mods have a chance of showing up?

2) Does anyone have a good guide on how to add to level lists in FO4Edit?

 

Thanks!

1 - the latter, hard edits are hard edits. Two mods making hard edits to the same formlist will conflict.

 

2 - It's just like populating any list, right click on the entry and choose "Add" to add another slot to the field, then right click and "Edit" on your new blank entry to paste/input an entry or click it and hit F2 to get the dropdown.

I blame my poor phrasing of the question so the latter could be from the first time I phrased the question or the second time, but to clarify: they conflict?

Yes. When two mods edit the same entry, whichever plugin loads later takes precedence and asserts its version of the entry over all others.

Shame, thanks for the help!

Add the items to the formlist using a script and it won't conflict :)

I just learned how to do the script bit this past weekend and its glorious!
