📋 About This Mod
Name: Crystal and Her Compound Author: MDC519 Initial Version: 1. 0 Date: 5/28/2010 =============== Description: =============== Crystal started out as your ordinary NPC in another mod I am working on, and---as part of my learning curve--- soon took on a life of her own. She hated life in the vault and longed for the adventure outside. She was finally able to convince her family and friends to help her start a new life outside. Thus, Crystal and her compound were born. ********** Please make sure you install the right version of Crystal---If you DO NOT have the Hairpack. ESM By YoshikinaKota installed (see below) and you install Crystal V1_0, you WILL crash to desktop. Please install Crystal V1_0 No Hairpack to avoid this! ****** =============== Details: =============== Crystal is a fully functioning companion who can stand alone without the need for an additional companion mod. She has a lot of vanilla-voiced dialogue and customizable options. She also has many one-of-a-kind items that are included. I realize that there are many mods out that may have similiar looking re-textures, but----as part of this learning curve---I have created my own re-textures. All of her clothing and weapons have been redone. New clothing: Black Leather Armor, Combat Armor, Enclave Officer Outfit, Blue Nightie, and White Nightie. All armors have the same stats as the \"unique\" armors. A complete set of these outfits for the player is in the bunkhouse. The male versions have not been re-textured and are still the vanilla outfits. New weapons: Crystal takes great pride in the excellent condition of her weapons. She has cleaned-up and refurbished versions of the Combat Knife, Chinese Officer Sword, 10mm Submachine Gun, Assault Rifle, and Combat Shotgun. All weapons have the stats of the \"unique\" vanilla weapons, and a full set is available for the player to use. Crystal\'s features are as follows: (1) Her own hairstyle and eyes are self-contained. (2) I decided not to give her a nude body replacer because there are simply too many great ones out there. I will let you chose one if you so desire. (3) You can set her up for the following: Essential (Yes or No), Bravery/confidence Level, Follow Distance, Combat Style, Change Home, Wait, Relax, Guard, Go Home, Summoning Hat (in case she gets lost, or...?), as well as change her weapons and clothes via dialogue. Her tag skills are Small Arms, Sneak and Repair. (4) She can repair your items, and give you a new hairstyle (styles in addition to the vanilla ones depend on what hair mods you have installed--see requirements below). (5) She should level to 30 with you and will self-heal out of combat. The Compound features the following: (1) Bunkhouse/Armory with plenty of storage, bobblehead display, respawning ammo supply, new (re-textured) wall paneling, new framed paintings (re-textured versions of my own photography), carpets, jukebox, safe and more. (2) A refurbi
