Shady Motives

A quest line for the protagonist, voiced by the legendary Wes Johnson and produced by the Sim Settlement Team, Otellino and the Concord Stories team; a new player home for Elianora; new custom weapons for Neeher and Shoeburglar; a new custom jacket for Niero; and a fully voiced companion. This was created almost entirely in 1 weekend for charity!

Version 1.0.5a

Restored a missing script that allowed Dr. Cabbage to escape from his power armor.

Version 1.0.5

• Added backup code to ensure Cabbage is correctly moved from the default holding area at the start of the mission to the hostage marker.
• Fixed a bug where one bloodline of Campbell the Confessor could replace all other NPC bloodlines until the "Purge of Loyalists" mission was completed.
• Fixed an incorrect COBJ record that could trigger a warning in XEdit.
• Restored missing Nate voice lines.
• Cabbage no longer sleeps during Angelo's opening scene.
• Added text prompt for "When Cabbage is a companion and wearing power armor, exit the power armor to him."
• Fixed Crunch's mouth web.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent the "Purge Loyalists" mission from starting.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent players from advancing on the "Purge Loyalists" mission if they cleared the mall before receiving the mission.
• After the mission "Lost Tape Raiders", the pop-up warning prompting the player to fire Dr. Cabbage will no longer appear. This is supposed to happen quietly, with him returning as a companion after the quest line is completed.
• Added map marker in Federal Mall.

For the first time ever, Wes Johnson lends his voice to a modding project in a quest line written by Sirick, the lead author of Settlement Simulator 2.

During the quest line, you'll explore new dungeons made by the Concord Stories team; acquire Elianora's player home, new weapons for Neeher and Shoeburglar, and new armor for Niero; and along the way, you'll join an entirely new companion!

To start the module:

Simply initiate any loading screen by quickly moving or entering and exiting a building.
