About this mod
Prevents the overseer (or former overseer) from leaving Vault 88. Extremely tiny edit that will allow you to do whatever you want with Overseer Barstow. Even make you the Overseer while she works the Overseer's desk. Requires you to run a command at the end of Vault 88 for the sake of lightweightness and compatibility based on what you want.

A.1) Keep Overseer Barstow at her desk and DON'T become the overseer alongside her
Recruit her vanilla style, that's it. (At least one experiment needs to be "evil")
A.2) Keep Overseer Barstow at her desk AND become the overseer alongside her
Recruit her vanilla style. Then run the following command through the console:
set dlc06playerisoverseer to 1
Everyone in the Vault will now address you as the Overseer, while Valery keeps her dialogue with you.
B) Keep Valery Barstow as a settler (prevent her from leaving after she rage quits the vault)
Either don't convince her to stay, or make her "ragequit" by selecting all positive experiment options (environmental bike, caffeine soda, improved eye care, lost revenue slot machine.) Then click her and run the following commands:
Addkeyword workshopallowcommand
Addkeyword workshopallowmove
You can now highlight her in the workshop menu and "send" her to Vault 88. I'm not sure what sending her elsewhere will do, as her AI is a bit more A than I.
Everyone in the vault will naturally address you as the Overseer (without running the playerisoverseer command), Overseer Barstow's name will change to "Valery Barstow", and her AI will either take it well, or not. Either way she will stay in the vault as one of your settlers. I find that the best place for her to be assigned is near the middle of the atrium. For example working on plants. She doesn't always use the terminal this way.
C) Make her leave
Either kill her, or run the following command:
set dlc06playerisoverseer to 69
Then wait for her to leave and disappear, probably best if you sleep a few hours, and run:set dlc06playerisoverseer to 1
She's now gone. Or dead.
Manual Installation
Drop the .esp into your Data folder (e.g. C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data)
Compatibility
This mod makes very minor changes to DLC06OverseerLeavesPackage. Nothing else. Works by "disabling" condition checks through checking if they reached an unreachable value.
Should be compatible with everything, as long as it doesn't touch those two conditions in that specific package.
