Real Handcuffs 0.4.16

Complete and general failure (animations not working, MCM menu blank):

• Make sure that scripts are installed (also remove loose files from version 0.3.x, 0.4.x and later use a .ba2 archive for most files).
• Make sure that F4SE is installed correctly (especially the loose scripts, and you may need to modify your ini files for loading of loose files).

 

Unable to free yourself from handcuffs:

• Try to find or buy a key, then inspect the lock. It should be clear from here.
• If that is not possible (or you cannot reach the lock), activate a player-owned settlement workbench (the red ones in the center of the settlements).
• The debug menu allows you to free yourself (unless you enabled hardcore mode).

 

Uninstalling:

• Uninstalling plugins from a running game is officially not supported and may break your game, If you absolutely must do so, disable the mod from the MCM debug settings page (turn "Master Switch" OFF), close MCM and wait for the message that it has been uninstalled. Then save the game, exit, and uninstall the mod. Load the game and save it again.
