Adding leveled lists to existing vendor & loot lists?

As an update, it turns out there is a bug when adding levelled lists, to nested levelled lists with items in them. You have to add only items to levelled lists that contain items, otherwise they won't be processed.

Just to be sure I am parsing you correctly: In order to get around the bug ... Add items to leveled lists that already contain at least some individual items and not only other leveled lists, or the nested lists will not be processed. Is that correct?

 

Or are you flat out saying adding a leveled list to another leveled list doesn't work if there are also individual items (not in lists) in that original list?

It's the engine being weird. So if you have:

 

Levelled list -> Levelled list -> Levelled list -> Items

 

Adding items to the last one would be fine. But if you have:

 

Levelled list -> Levelled list -> Levelled list + Items -> Levelled list (Your addition)

 

Your levelled list won't be processed. I think it's due to the number of nested levelled lists, as New Vegas vendors and containers spawned the loot appropriately. But DC ones didn't, as the levelled lists are organized differently.

Thanks. That cleared it up nicely. I'll update the wiki after I get some sleep.
