Seems to cause terrible crashes and lag around Primm. Might be because of spawn points this mod places around there. Can't recommend right now in its current state but the idea of it is good.
This mod has been causing crashes and bugs for many users, so I still have testing and researching to do. Also, I think I may just release new 'lost enemy' mods individually later on.
It seems like not just Skyrim, but in FNV too, mods that add spawners have a really high tendency of crashing the game. That's why i look for comment posts and bugs. For example in Skyrim most individual creatures addition didn't crash but the large ones like Roguelike encounters did. Take your time fixing it.
I have planned a new version including an entirely different script that shouldn't have the Bison Steve issue. Working on getting it released soon-ish.
This mod causes an infinite loading screen issue with accessing the Bison Steve Hotel Floor 1 that could only be fixed by deleting the entire script (yes I tested deleting Return Vance Gun and Primm Restored as well as individual lines of script relating to the Bison Steve and Primm inside the gr file). Worked well in the overworld and feels very good when it does work (having to kill a spore carrier instead of geckos for Barton Thorn was epic), only posting in case people have this exact issue too
This mod's currently causing a crash for me just south of Goodsprings Source during the tutorial. I definitely have a spaghetti of mods but I don't think anything should affect this one intuitively. nvse.log is giving me:
Hook_DirectInput8Create_Execute Error line 2
Could not parse this line. (repeats this error many times)... Could not parse this line. NVSE DLL DoPostLoadGameHook: (null) NVSE DLL DoPreLoadGameHook: autosave.fos Reading mod list from co-save Loading array variables Loading strings plugin has data in save file but no handler plugin has data in save file but no handler
Then it just handles a crash save I believe. This crash always happens when approaching that area, and disabling only this mod fixes the crash. Any idea what kind of mod might conflict? Or if there might be a bugged enemy nearby?
Hmm I'm still investigating this crashing issue. Others are experiencing crashes as well, so the crashes will be a higher priority to fix before I work on adding more features to the mod.
I'm getting a CTD when entering Primm, just after speaking to the NCR Trooper warning the player of the situation. I have Yao Guai in the Mojave, Mojave Mole Miners, The Hills Have Spore Plants, AWOP Revised, and The Living Desert mods installed which could have an impact on the area. Disabling just this mod stopped the CTD, so I'm unsure if there's an overwrite being attempted that's causing the crash due to mod incompatibilities maybe, or if it's a bug in the mod, but I wanted to report this if it helps and anyone else is having issues!
Edit: It may just be Yao Guai in the Mojave that's causing crashes, disabling this mod stopped the Primm CTD though, so that's weird.
Apologies for the delay. The crashes will be addressed in the next update. Also, I think you're on to something, it may be an overwrite or conflict associated with enemies this mod adds. If I find conflicts, I'll try to release some patches for those mods.
I'm considering releasing various main file versions. These versions would only integrate enemies included in this mod to specific groups of enemy spawn areas.
Five new groups are planned for different Lost Enemies in the Mojave versions. All Roads (lost enemies only appear on or near roads), Savage Mountains (lost enemies appear near hills or mountainsides), No Tunnelers, Escape from Sierra Madre (only lost enemies from Dead Money appear), Escape from Big MT (lost enemies from Old World Blues).
A TTW version is also planned.
Edit: These various versions are still being released as well as a version without alien encounters, but are being pushed to version 2.0 so that bugs and crashes can be resolved the first.
I really like the idea of this mod. But I was wondering if there could be an optional version that only has DLC enemies appear after the player visits a DLC area. As if the enemies are disturbed or followed the player home. If that makes sense... Just a thought...

I'm going to try a new script, or multiple new scripts that will replace the current versions.
