Version 1.00
Fixes a crash that involves the Nuka World ant swarms.
Did you know the swarms of ants added by Nuka World exemplify the word "bug" so well that they can crash your game? I sure didn't! But now I do, so I fixed it.
FEATURES
Fixes a crash that can be caused by the Nuka World ant swarms.
Marked as a light plugin (esl-flagged esp) for minimal impact on load orders.
FAQ
How do I start using this mod?
Just install it! No configuration or special steps necessary.
Is this safe to use in an existing game?
Yes.
What exactly caused the crash?
The body part data for the ant swarms contains data for a part (the torso) that is configured to take damage but has no associated actor value to track damage. This causes crashes when scripts or console commands attempt to kill them, because the process by which they kill enemies involves applying maximum damage to every part of their body.
Will you submit this to the Unofficial Patch?
No, because it would be rejected. As best I can tell, this is a bug that can only be encountered when mods do things with the ant swarms, and the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch team's policy is to only patch bugs that occur with no other mods installed.
Do I need this fix?
Maybe? It's a small, rare, random crash and I don't know what mods are in your load order that might need it. I only learned about the problem because someone reported to me that their game would crash if they tried to use Integrated Addons (which adds a random encounter involving bloatflies) at the same time as Mutant Menagerie (which adds swarms of bees to the bloatfly leveled lists.)
