📋 About This Mod

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST Due to the many changes and restructuring of the mod this release is being classed as a beta. Everything works fine on my system but the only way to be sure is for other people to play the mod. Please report any problems if you encounter any and include information on which Rat Trap plug-ins you were using. If everything works for you, again let me know so I can remove the beta tag. If your comment goes into detail on plot aspects or levels please post your comment in the discussion section for the mod so as to keep spoilers off the main comment section. This is for the benefit of players who prefer not to know what happens in the vault before playing it. Thanks for your help.


DESCRIPTION This mod adds a vault inhabited by the Chinese. Lots of Chinese. Why are the Chinese army in a vault?, who\'s in charge?, What are their plans?. It\'s up to you to find out, search for allies and ensure that any threats to the wasteland are neutralised. Rat Trap Remastered is a major overhaul of the mod, it\'s still the same detailed quest and intense combat but with a lot of added content contained in the plug-ins Extra dialogue has been added and all the npc\'s are now fully voiced in Chinese. There are 15 new Chinese poster textures and Chun Li one of the potential companions has a new hairstyle and cheeky outfit. You now have the option to set the mod\'s difficulty level before entering the vault, so you can tailor the mod to suit your style of play. There are options to change the number of enemies you will face in the vault and also their aggressiveness. You can also choose to set the vaults companions as essential until the quest is complete. Even when set to easy, the combat can get a little tricky in places if your not careful, so be prepared, don\'t go storming in with your gun blazing or you\'ll die a quick death. For those who have played before, be aware, not everything is as it was. Location The vault is located south of megaton, near a billboard, just follow the compass marker. There are also screen shots showing it\'s location in the gallery. Release Notes The mod now comes as a master file as opposed to an esp, so people can choose which plug-ins they wish to download. Here is a list of the current Rat Trap files and their required load order, you can place any other mod\'s before, after or between the Rat Trap esp files without problems. RatTrapRemastered.esm should be placed near the top of your load order with any other master files you have installed. RatTrapRemastered.esm RatTrapEyeCandy.esp RatTrapSound.esp RatTrapSound.esp must be The last Rat Trap file in your load order, for the Oriental background music to work. I\'ve tested
