SirGalahad Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Hey, I'm not reading through 15 pages of arguments, searching for an answer that may or may not be there. The mod author is AWOL. No one has taken over development of the mod. However, is this author supposed to return to the mod, hand it off to someone else, or is this the best it will ever be? Can a selection of other, completed mods replace it? Thanks! Edited June 5, 2018 by SirGalahad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguardascendant Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I have no idea about your first set of questions. But most of it is available elsewhere, but in a variety of different mods, including Functional Objects Overhaul, Workshop Rearranged, Settlement Objects Expansion, Snappy Housekit, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Been using Homemaker since it was released and never had a problem with it. Since the mod works as intended and NovaCoru updates the mod on occasion, the last version will be as good as it momentarily gets. Until the next update, just like with any other mod. Initial release of Homemaker was in November 2015 and the last update was in June 2017. I find it odd that you say you've been going through some of the comments in search of an answer, but you don't say for which question you seek an answer. Plus, NovaCoru isn't AWOL. Has been online on the 1st of June which is a couple of days ago... So, in the end, I don't quite get what you're aiming at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirGalahad Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Someone called Sharlikran has a few sticky posts at the top of the associated mod commentary that indicate the mod author is unavailable. I just realized those posts were a year old and therefore a bit misleading, apparently. Odd those sticky posts were left there, if the author is, in fact, currently active. The mod does not appear complete—at least the UI portion does not. The same house icon is used for a number of subsections, there's a bit of redundancy, menu organization issues, and some expected build items appear to be missing—as far as I can tell. I'm using 1.55.1. Maybe I expected Homemaker to allow more building than was intended. Edited June 8, 2018 by SirGalahad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sure, some sub-menus of Homemaker have he same icons, but why would that be an indication of the mod being "unfinished"? Mods that were made much later, like Snappy Builds, have indeed more build options in a few categories, but Homemaker still has a lot to offer in Power, Decorations and other categories. I also use SOEPack, CREAtive Clutter, Snappy Builds and some such, but personally I'd never stop using Homemaker because of those as I would be missing out on loads of other things.

SirGalahad Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I will look at Settlement Object Expansion Pack, CREAtive Clutter, and Snappy Housekit. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sharlikan is the one who built and maintains SKE, by the way. SKE and Homemaker kinda walk hand in hand and one needs to be carefull which versions to use along one another as they tend to steal menus from each other. You should also have a look at Ethreon's stuff. Be careful with his Vanilla Extensions mod, though. It overwrites other mods of which the result can't be rectified with re-applying those other mods. It's only a minor inconvenience, as far as I've noticed, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguardascendant Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Just adding to JimmyRJump's last post; Several of Ethreon's mods require that you have a mod of his called Master Plan. In turn, Master Plan requires that you have Workshop Rearranged. Workshop Rearranged will make a lot of changes to your menus and creates problems for some people. Most people seem to really like it though. That's just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running Masterplan and it doesn't require Workshop Rearranged at all and I don't use the latter either. There is however a separate patch available for when you do use Workshop Rearranged in combinattion with Masterplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tried to download it to try it without the requirement mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
