📋 About This Mod


This plugin REQUIRES my main companions pack, downloadable here.


Changelog:

v1. 7: Fix made to Vault 1 cell options.

v1. 6: Small changes made to guard hairs to keep them working with the new formIDs of Nos' Companions v1. 7.

v1. 5: Reset Guards' heights. They had somehow all gotten set to 1. 1100 - making them all nearly a head taller than the player. They used to be varying heights... I have no idea how they got messed up.

v1. 4: Updated Guard scripts to bring full compatibility with the new RR Companions Vault V5 companion system. If you use guards as companions, you should see a marked increase in their performance. If you don't use them that way, you're not likely to notice a difference.

V1. 3: Updated to be compatible with version 1. 4 of my companions pack. Note: you MUST have 1. 4 or better of the companions pack to run this mod. If you have an older version, the custom race the guards now use will not exist, and YOUR GAME WILL CRASH ON LOADING. This is not a bug, nor an error. It is simply the way the FO3 engine works.

v1. 2: Updated the plugin to maintain compatibility with v4. 93 of the RR Companion Vault master. Also made a minor dialog change, that removes the ability to rename these guards. Does not effect standard guards, nor prisoners; only the eight guards in this plugin.

V1. 1: Changes guards outfits to the new Vault 1 Security Uniform. Now REQUIRES verson 4. 9 or better of the RR Companion Vault master file.

V1. 0: Initial Release.

General:

Like the idea of having guards patrol and well, guard Vault 1 and your companions who aren't being used at the moment, but you don't like those guys who keep getting in the way of your nonstop eyecandy schemes?

Yeah, me too. So, I did something about it.

This plugin adds eight new guards to Vault 1. All are women, all are passably hot, all are armed with randomly spawning weapons from the leveled lists, instead of those boring old combat shotguns.

Guards all use the standard V1 Guard packages, so they operate just like the ones in ttomwv's RRGuards plugin, although the NPCs themselves are my own creations - this is NOT a modified form of the RRGuards file, and does not require it be installed or used in any way.

Guards' jobs can be reassigned on the fly by talking to them, and selecting the appropriate choices. Guards' equipment can be changed out in a similar fashion. Guards can be told to accompany you as companions.

As this operates independantly of the RRGuards plugin, they CAN be run at the same time without any issues that I've observed. Just don't blame me if your computer threatens your life after rendering all the NPCs.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Decent community support with 272 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
  • Fills a specific niche for players who want more guard variety in Vault 1.
  • Simple addition that doesn't overhaul the game, just tweaks a specific location.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires the RR Companions Vault mod, so it's useless without that dependency.
  • Last updated in 2010, so it may have compatibility issues with newer game versions or mods.
  • Only affects Vault 1 guards, so it's a very narrow change that might not be noticeable to most players.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 3 players who use the RR Companions Vault mod and want to see different guard faces and gear in Vault 1. If you're not using that mod, this is irrelevant. Skip if you're looking for broader gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic variety.
