Description
What is this?
This mod allows you to start the game with companions, randomly generated or with specific stats and inventory. Start with siblings, parents or friends and survive together in the apocalypse!

Set each companion's specific stats, name, age, equipment and relationships through the settings file, or make it completely random. Create different presets so that you can easily switch between them when starting a new save. The default preset will generate between 1 and 2 random companions whenever you start a game.

You can also spawn with companions based on your favourite character presets that you have created through the character creation menu. This will carry over all their starting equipment, skills and personality.

That sounds like a bug, I'll look into it

I can't seem to figure out how to get the surname function to work. No matter how I try it keeps choosing a random last name for the 'wife and kids' preset.
SweetCaptn  [author] 18 May @ 5:43pm 
If you're using the default settings file and haven't changed anything, you just need to increase the values from MinRandomCompanions and MaxRandomCompanions fields of the preset called "Random".

If you want customized characters, check the MeAndKids preset (it spawns you with two characters), copy it and change it however you want. Then just put the name of this preset in the "SelectedPreset" field to make sure it's the one your game is going to load with.

Thank you for creating the MOD. When using saved characters for three or more people, the relationship between the second and third characters is not reflected correctly. (The example "B SN" and "C SN" become unrelated.) Is the method of specification wrong?

<Preset><Name>TeamA</Name><Settings><Companions>
<Companion><FromFavouriteCharacter>A SN</FromFavouriteCharacter><Relationships><Relationship><Target>Player</Target><Type>FriendsWith</Type></Relationship><Relationship><Target>B SN</Target><Type>FriendsWith</Type></Relationship><Relationship><Target>C SN</Target><Type>FriendsWith</Type></Relationship></Relationships></Companion>
<Companion><FromFavouriteCharacter>B SN</FromFavouriteCharacter><Relationships><Relationship><Target>Player</Target><Type>FriendsWith</Type></Relationship><Relationship><Target>A SN</Target><Type>FriendsWith</Type></Relationship><Relationship><Target>C SN</Target><Type>FriendsWith</Type></Relationship></Relationships></Companion>
(*Same for C SN*)

I'm playing in Sandbox mode. I think the issue might not be with your mod. I forwarded the bug to Bob.
