Improved BoS V2.62

As a result of changes made to version 2.6 to fix bugs where the correct power armor and weapons were not used by NPCs related to quests, and to avoid problems where future add-ons may need additional patches to make them work with each other (as some official DLCs may cause problems with each other), the mod received a large number of changes at the base level. Therefore, so that it does not cause problems in your game, it is important to adhere to the following rules;

• It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT install the update on a game file where the Brotherhood has already appeared in the game (for example, you have seen the prydwen scene). This can result in the NPC being unarmed, taking off all the armor and clothing they wear, and rarely appearing in a game with empty inventory. The solution for those who play on the PC, is located at the bottom of this instruction).
• Uninstalling this mod after creating a save file in which BoS were generated in a game running 2.6 or later will cause a large number of NPCs to forget their data and return to level 1 or 2, with their name possibly changing to the Brotherhood Soldier Template. NPCs without power armor will also not be equipped with their clothing and armor. This can be fixed on the PC (see below).
• Corrections: - 1. To fix problem 1, it is best to open the console and use 'openactorcontainer 1' on each affected NPC. It will take a long time but allow you to reequip their clothes and armor as it is still in their inventory.
• -2. To fix the appearance of quest NPCs due to problem 1 with missing inventory, or problems caused by mod deletion. Open the console and use 'Recycleactor' followed by '[Targetid].resurrect'. This will revive them with new inventory and names from Brotherhood's level lists, and then reset them ai so that they can resume the task they were supposed to perform in the game.
• 
  
• I must emphasize that none of these problems is a fashion mistake. This is simply the result of the game discovering that the data it relied on had changed and failing to figure out how to fix it. It's a little uncomfortable, but that's the price for immersing in the game that this mod gives.

Brief summary

If your current version is 2.54 - you can install and uninstall at any time.

Upgrading the current version 2.54 to 2.6 - causes problems with the first item if Prydwen has already arrived.

Uninstall 2.6 after upgrade - if you saved after upgrade then uninstall

will not return the problems present in the retention referred to in paragraph 1.

If you have not saved, the last version associated with the save file will be

2.54, and everything will be all right.

Installing 2.6 before the Prydwen appears and then uninstalling will cause the problems mentioned in paragraph 2.
