From Kinggath: "Even on high end, the background code will take hours to run. I was able to front load all of the visual stuff, so the settlement at least looks fairly complete when you arrive."

What this means: Many of the problems you are experiencing may be a result of the code not yet being finished. It will take hours (real time).

For example not having NPC's in your settlements yet, that is handled very late in the background code. Choosing a late stage for your settlements to start at may also cause delays or unusual problems.

Known or Suspected Mod Conflicts
Conquest: Even having it installed but disabled can cause problems, remove it completely.

Suggested Workarounds for Known Issues
  • The single most important piece of advice is to be patient. Go do some vanilla quests and level up for a few real world hours before trying to do the Conqueror quest line beyond the Museum of Freedom. If you're having bugs even as early as the Museum of Freedom reload an earlier save to before you've gone to Concord. Go around Concord (don't get close enough to trigger Concord quests at all) and give all the background code a chance to run first.
  • If you're getting the setup options too soon in the prewar sequence you may be spending too long in your character creation. Create your character in a game without Conqueror loaded and save it as a preset to load in your Conqueror enabled game.
  • The setup options menu may come up repeatedly after the first time when you interact with vendors until the background code has fully completed running. Your original selections for settlements and city plans are still saved so just choose the options to carry on with using the mod as before.
