How to start
Depending on the installation options you choose, there are several ways to start the quest. If the Pre-quest is enabled, a level 25+ player will receive a quest notification while venturing around that will guide them to the island.
Difficulty
Recommended for players level 25 or above. Depending on your difficulty setting some areas may be challenging for a lower level player.
Most quest markers will guide the player to the general area of the next objective but will disappear once the player is in the correct spot (like ‘cappy in a haystack’ from Nuka World) this is so the player has to do some investigating of their own.
No perks are required at any point to progress the quests.
Installation
Install one of the main files with mod manager. The fomod installer will guide you through some of the optional plugins that might improve your experience.
Far Harbor DLC is required.
This mod is not load order sensitive.
If Karma by Bp42s is installed in your load order it will be automatically detected and there will be Karma gain/loss depending on your choices during the quest.
Compatibility and Technical info
Compatible with Old Gen, Next Gen, and Anniversary Edition. The files were packed using Old Gen tools, so they should work across all versions.
Misery Island does not make any changes to cells within the commonwealth or Far Harbor worldspaces, instead using “persistent” records for the transport found in the vanilla worldspaces. This means it will not conflict with any mods that affect precombines.
This mod also does not change any vanilla game records. This means compatibility is extremely high. Most chances of mod conflicts will be clipping objects if another mod adds objects into the same area we have placed the transport to the Island.
Anyone can make translations for this mod as long as credit is given and the original file is a required download. Translators CAN earn donations points if they want to.
