📋 About This Mod
Killable Children (Version 1. 5 - By Neclipse) ============================================= Description: ============ This mod enables you to kill any or all of the children in Fallout 3. It also provides consequences for such actions. Killing children will at first make people angry, but eventually if you kill to many they will attack you on sight. However your evil deeds don\'t go unnoticed from the other side to. Eventually the raiders will catch word of your actions and will either come to respect or fear you. Either way they choose not to attack. As of Version 1. 5 there is only one .esp file now. It has the children with default stats and equipment, and also uses the default child meshes. The .esp is also cleaned up alot since 1. 2. New In Version 1. 5: No longer have to run a .bat file to turn off essentials. Just load up the mod and go. Children should now be their intended color and race. I never meant for this to be changed, and has been fixed. Consequences! You will now be punished slightly for killing children. If you kill 1 child you will get a warning, but after that people will start to like to you less and less. If you kill two or more children you will be branded a child killer. And after 3 to 4 kills you may become KoS (kill on sight) to some of the more upstanding towns like Megaton and Big Town. Killing children will now result in a -100 karma penalty. If you are truly evil and kill nine or more children then Raiders will start to respect you more and note shoot at you. The slavers will also treat you more nice. Keep track of your kills with in game stats, located in your perks menu. When choosing to play as a child, setting your scale to 1 is now automatically done. How do I successfully play as a child? ==================================== 1. Play normally up until you get to the last part of the vault quest. (This could also be done anytime in game as long as you are passed the part where Amata wakes you up and you\'re an adult.) 2. Open console (~) and type showracemenu. 3. Choose your child race. 4. Choose your facial features and such. Do Not move the face on teh screen or it will go black.* But as long as you don\'t move the face around you can adjust your facial features as you like. 6. Enjoy you\'re game. You now be able to play as a child and do all the normal things an adult character could. You won\'t get a \'Children Can\'t Use This\' message when trying to use lever\'s and such. Installation: ============= 1. Unrar KillableChildrenV1. 5.rar to your Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3/Data folder. 2. Load up FoMM or Go to Data Files in your FO3 launcher menu and choose KillableChildren.esp and any compatibility patches. 3. Launch your game, enjoy and have fun. What are these .esp\'s? ======================================= KillableChildren.esp - The Main file this is required to use either or both of the compatibility patches
