Hey Kippa, turning off Spawn Tweaks, Boss Spawn Tweaks, OpenZones Fix and Increased Bot Cap in realism config like Kakish instructed fixed my issue it seems, the reason i originally downloaded MOAR was to see if adding a mod that altered how and where bots spawned would solve my issue, i also had the issue of bots not spawning occasionally even without MOAR. I'm running all the same mods that i've listed, with bots spawning in without issue, so feel free to close it.
Thanks for the input about MOAR, did you also not turn off the aforementioned settings in the realism config program? the reason i ask is that this was not obvious as a solution to me. If i decide to get rid of MOAR at some point and start getting the issue again i'll open a new support ticket, thanks again!
