I'm currently playing Fallout 4 for the first time, and I've been using this mod from the beginning. Recently, I switched from using Bethesda.net to MO2 (replacing all installed mods with Nexus equivalents, taking care not to have any missing ESPs), and also installed few more mods, including We Are the Minutemen. However, since doing so, the frequency of settlement attacks has gone up dramatically for me. Previously, I was getting one maybe every ten hours of gameplay, but now I'm getting one every hour or two, which is extremely annoying and borderline unplayable. I've never played vanilla, so I'm not sure how frequent they are in that. I'll emphasize that this definitely happened after the mod change, and not on account of adding a bunch of food and water to my settlements.
My working theory for why this happened is that Sim Settlements was reducing the frequency, but WATM also tweaks it somehow, and since WATM is lower in the load order (necessarily, since SS2 is an ESM) it is taking precedence. First of all, am I even correct in assuming that SS2 tweaks attack frequency? If so, might I suggest that this mod release a patch (to go at the bottom of the load order) that allows its own system to override any other mods? Or could this be a bug in WATM?

Edit: Ah, whoops, it looks like I should have posted this on the questions board. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to delete the thread. If a moderator wants to move it, feel free.
