About this mod Machine translation
Just a small patch to make Spring Cleaning work well with other mods. It should work with any mod, but there are some aspects of workarounds Spring Cleaning uses that I don't fully understand, so it might conflict with some mods (most likely: mods that edit the cell data of related cells just to add/move/remove stuff in the cell). In these cases, no compatibility patch will help, and you must use FO4Edit to fix the conflict yourself.
This works with any scrap mod, not just Spring Cleaning. It triggers the game engine to disable pre-combination in the combo grid and cells that make up Vanilla Fallout, so it lets you scrap anything you have recipes for in those locations, whether those recipes are from Spring Cleaning or any other scrap mod.
Install:
- Install using NMM or place SpringCleaningCompatibilityPatch.esp in the Data folder
- Load it after touching any model of vanilla settlement
I suggest you install the ini version (using the esp version of Spring Cleaning and not referencing any cells) and then delete SpringCleaning.ini from the data folder.
You can manually install the esp version of Spring Cleaning (in the optional_ini version folder) instead of esm (or remove the Worldspace category from SpringCleaning.esm), as it has more Place Object references than needed (not good for compatibility if another mod moves those references) and my patch made them redundant. Additionally, I've seen claims that it undoes some of the changes the Automatron DLC made to the airport.

Known issues:
This may cause unit reset errors. This was due to an engine problem and there was nothing I could do about it. Obviously making it an esm will fix it (which is why SpringCleaning.esm doesn't cause reset errors), but making it an esm defeats the purpose since you can't load it after most mods. Bethesda is reportedly working on a fix so it can be released in the next update.
Until then, you can use these mods to deal with symptoms:
Cell reset workaround patch
Buildable power armor frame
Apparently Bethesda fixed the reset bug (not mentioned because why mention anything when you fix a major bug like this).
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.
