Category talk:Boston Breeder quests

I just spent a week of playing through this mod, and ... just a few things.

1. All of your characters came out particularly hideous-looking. I would suggest snagging looksmenu face presets from the nexus and doing only a couple slight modifications. Once it lands on someone else's system, it's largely up to what beauty mods they have or don't have.

2.  Just for a tank top, you ask us to install a clothing pack that is no longer supported by the mod author for a body that the LL community is gravitating away from (you use CBBE, the LL community is moving to Fusion Girl). Also Eli doesn't want us doing any Bodyslide conversions to anything else. Seriously, when Jade unlocks as a companion, we're going to be ditching her default outfit anyway, so why not just use something generic? In fact, I didn't even wait that long to console her into another outfit and SLM her into a nice preset.

3.  For a quest mod about pregnancy, it certainly doesn't support or use the biggest functional pregnancy mod out there. Family Planning has an expansive add-on that goes into animals we don't have animations for (yet). That mod ought to be a hard requirement to this one, and you should hook into their pregnancy system, instead of just popping us with text boxes and dialogue suggesting what happened. You know what would be awesome? If when you take Cait off to play with the Yao Guai, she just gets knocked up and now we have to have her running around beside us pregnant, then we get a friendly Yao Guai that follows Cait everywhere. Maybe she names him Tim. And the supermutant camp girls could come be our settlers, then pop out a couple new supermutant settlers for us, instead of just sitting there with no option to untie them.

4.  For a quest mod based on dialogue, you seem to have a hard time using the existing dialogue and quest system. I don't know how many times I've been utterly frustrated in the last week because your method for calling dialogue and attempting to force-talk got trampled on by something else happening that wrecks the dialogue. I would suggest snagging Outcasts and Remnants from Nexus and looking at how they do dialog, because they did it really well.

5.  Hermes is in a really dumb spot. You're guaranteed to get nabbed while you're in the middle of going to Virgil or taking Cait to Vault 95 (the latter for me). It's super-frustrating to be forced to deal with a buggy abduction that has zero documentation when you trying to get stuff done.

6.  Keep in mind that a good 99% of people running mods have a multiple companions mod of one variety or another. You managed to dismiss Cait, Piper and Dogmeat, but there I was naked in the Glowing Sea with Codsworth and Preston after I got hit by Hermes trying to get Cait to Vault 95.

Having said all that, I like the direction you're going, I just wish you would reconsider what your hard requirements should be. Like Family Planning and the creature add-on, not a dumb tank-top. I also wish you'd take the time to polish each quest so it runs perfectly before spreading yourself too thin and having game-breaking bugs every time you turn around.
