     1. Description

*****************************************************************

DLC Timing lets you to adjust starting conditions for each of the official DLC; Automatron,
Far Harbor, Nuka World and Vault-Tec Workshop.

Key Features:

Enhanced Immersion: Prevent DLC from starting until you're ready, like the Timing Is Everything
mod for Skyrim. Is level 20 too low to start Automatron? Use the MCM included in this mod to
increase it. Or lower the minimum level if you want to start immediately.

Quest Integration: Define a main quest or faction quest that needs to be completed before the
DLC is allowed to start. If you don't want to start the DLC until after the main quest, simply
set a quest condition in the MCM. Alternatively, you can also remove existing quest conditions
from DLC such as Far Harbor.

Timed Startup: An option to begin a DLC after a specified number of in-game days has also been
included, but isn't enabled by default.

Lightweight and Compatible: This mod only touches DLC startup scripts, no other edits are made.
It should be fully compatible with the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch, but just make sure it's
loaded after it in your load order.

1.0   - Initial Release.

1.1   - Renamed the ba2 file.

*****************************************************************

     6. F.A.Q.

*****************************************************************

Q. It didn't work!
A. You need to start a new playthrough in order to be able to control DLC startup conditions with
   this mod, as several script files from the DLC had to be modified. Also keep in mind that other
   mods such as the unofficial patch may modify the same script files modified by DLC Timing, so make
   sure DLC Timing comes after these mods.

Q. When does it check whether it's ready to start a DLC?
A. For most DLC, startup conditions are checked whenever you travel to a new location. For Far Harbor
   this occurs whenever you travel to a settlement.

Q. Traveling to Quincy Quarries automatically starts the Vault-Tec DLC.
A. The Vault-Tec DLC originally starts on its own when you travel to this location. I can change this
   in a future update, but for the sake of keeping things as compatible as possible i'm trying to
   minimize the number of changes that need to be made.
