Questions and answers
Q: Which files do I need to install?
A: Install the most recent file from the Northern Springs page and my bugfix mod for the optimal experience in Northern Springs
Q: What is Vault Z/Lo Pan's castle/The three storms/Dema Baala?
A: Unfinished content that Jshraps couldn't finish in time, so it's inaccessible
Q: What to do if I find a bug?
A: Make sure to check the bug reports here (To avoid duplicate bug reports), and provide as much info as possible. A lot of issues can be traced back to how heavily the game is modded or the scripting engine not running correctly (script lag)
Known Issues
Dialogue bug:
NS Main quest stuck:
Performance:
Quests:
Silent radios:
Incompatible/Conflicting mods:
Mods that change the following locations/cells:
- Above the Vault 111 exterior (Some mods add settlements there, some add quests there which overlap with the entrance to Northern Springs)
- The Diamond City Security office interior (Bleachers 2. I dont use the mod, the mod author blocked me, wont fix)
- Area around Natick Banks (South of the Sea: Atom's Storm - but if you load the esp of my mod after the previs esp of SOTS Atom's Storm, there is no flickering)
- Mods that add occlusion boxes and disable previs everywhere (I dont use that mod, mod author blocked me)
- Mods that regenerate previs data (Like PRP. Maybe loading my esp afterwards will fix any potential issues, but Idk, I dont use the mod personally)
-Nextgen update (Not tested, so far nobody reported incompatibility with it, but it could have potential issues, should be investigated)

Known Issues
Dialogue bug:
Spoiler:
Show
Should you run into the dialogue bug (Cant initiate convos with NPCs, cant trade with companions etc.), go to the Sanatogan Inn and talk to the robot. This should fix the issue.
NS Main quest stuck:
Spoiler:
Show
After reaching Nicholas Barman for the first time the quest doesn't progress. Simply restart the game to fix this.
Performance:
Spoiler:
Show
There is micro-stuttering in Northern Springs (Likely due to missing precombined meshes and previs in the whole worldspace, some mods of the mod author Zorkaz/El Ha have the same issue).
Quests:
Spoiler:
Some sidequests have proper conditions set up, but fail to run for some people. Including me. I don't know how to fix this, in some playthroughs the sidequests worked fine, in others they didn't. I'll see what I can do.

Silent radios:
Spoiler:
Annoying bug. Seems to be related to the quest scene of the radios, but don't know how to fix this yet. In the meantime, these commands will usually work (Only if you have this mod installed as well):
Hellion Radio
Stopquest 00Hellionradio
Startquest 00Hellionradio
NSW Radio
Stopquest 00NSWRadio
Startquest 00NSWRadio
Sanatogan Radio
Stopquest 00Sanatoganradio
Startquest 00Sanatoganradio
