Let's all take a moment to realize SS2 is a work in progress. It is a DLC sized labor of love from some pretty dedicated devs. There are and will be bugs and glitches and user errors along the way. New games are part of the process in being a beta tester. Which we are all right now. So if you encounter an issue first ask yourself is it a bug or maybe something I'm doing wrong? Then report bugs in a fashion that actually help the devs fix it, not just throw around complaints.

I personally want to thank every single individual which are waaay to numerous to mention that are working hard to give us the coolest mod Fallouts seen in a long time.

So save often and expect things not to always go as expected.
 
Here are some helpful tips for bug reporting.
1. What platform are you using!
2. In as much depth as possible tell what happened and what you were doing when it happened.
3. Add in if possible your load order.
4. Be detailed as possible about everything, settlement, quest, part of quest, etc.
5. Screenshots can be helpful.
6. Above all else I can't stress this enough. More detail is better than little. The devs would rather know everything possible to fix an issue than not have anything to go on.
 
Yes an an other tip. Stay polite and friendly. If you get angry posting here because the stuff does not work. ( why does it always have to be "the stuff"....) then you will not get much help. with friendliness you get much further. Remember a lot of people put there free time in here to help others out for free.
 
I personally think that SS2 has made fallout 4 a more interesting game to play, and yes i have posted lots of questions asking for help, and am grateful to all the people that has answered my questions, and help sort out my bugs, and I think that all the dev's have done a brilliant job with SS2, and am now looking forward to part 2 Thanks to all concerned.
 
I did a lot of beta testing for SWTOR and ESO. It always amazed me how many participants complained about the state of the games during beta. Excuse Me? Do you not understand what a beta is? I viewed it as an opportunity to experience the game for free and contribute to the progress. After a year of beta testing with both games, I ended up subbing. I still sub for them even though they've both gone FtoP long ago. I view my role in this game in much the same way...helping the wonderful team and helping others where I can.
And I have strong feelings about how FO76 and Cyberpunk bamboozled players into paying a heck of a lot of money to essentially beta test their games.

That's why Fortnite kept its beta monicor for so long. People just knew there'd be bugs and couldn't complain.
