Gear Settler: Elegant and lightweight clothing manager. Equip Settler is a quality of life mod that brings a seamless and user-friendly Book Sharing system to your settlement. This is not a strip-and-equip tool; it's a progressive, reactive system. The mod works cleverly in the background, upgrading your settlers over time as they gain better gear.
The core idea of this mod is to provide a powerful tool without complex menus or tedious manual tasks. Simply add gear to special "Settler Gear Boxes" and you can create a unique, unified look for your settlement, or simply distribute it randomly.
Main features
Automatic "Book Sharing": Place gear into a "Settler Gear Chest" and the mod's script will automatically equip the settlers within its radius with the best available items, depending on their gold value.
Fully Configurable: Holotape allows you to customize the behavior of the trunk. You can change the update interval, set the container's radius of influence, and filter guards or workers. The ini files provided in the plugin folder are for advanced use and allow you to configure factions, slots, item keywords, etc.
Localized management: Each built backbone is an independent system.
Broad Compatibility: This mod uses the gold value of items to determine the best gear, making it compatible with other armor and weapon mods.
Fast Travel Bug: This mod fixes a fast travel bug, ensuring settlers are fully equipped when you arrive at a settlement.
How to use
"Settler Equipment Boxes" can be found in the Workshop under the "Containers" menu.
When you build one, the "ES Control Tape" will appear in your inventory in the trunk, if you don't …
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
