📋 About This Mod

====== Update ====== I\'ve now added an alternate version of this mod specifically for those stuck getting into Tranquility lane with BlackBlossom\'s African American Albino race mod: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13358 Let me know how you get on please. --- Description =========== If, like me, you use a custom race, you\'re more than likely to (or have) run into problems with the Tranquility Lane quest. The problem is that a lot of custom races don\'t have a matching child race that is correctly pointed back at the custom adult race. Because of this, when the TL quest turns you into a child and then back to an adult afterwards, it ends up changing your race completely. The upshot of this, as with any race change, is that you lose all your perk attained stats, specials, and attributes. So just resetting your character\'s race back to the custom one you were using after the end of the quest leaves you with a rather broken character. You can, apparently, due to the quest also removing your entire inventory when entering TL, lose everything you have because of the lack of matching child race. I\'ve not experienced this directly myself. But, again, not very good. What I have experienced is that, if you\'re using a custom left-hand glove and the Readius PDA pipboy mod, sometimes you end up losing the glove until you remove, clean save and re-add the Readius mod. Because of this, I decided to make a small simple patch to get around these issues...by making sure they never happen. Put simply, the problematic entries in the appropriate scripts are remarked out so that certain \'events\' just never occur. These \'events\' are listed as follows: Entering Tranquility Lane ------------------------- - Disabled changing player to child - Disabled removing player inventory - Disabled removing pipboy and pipboy glove. - Disabled addition of children\'s clothing (not required due to above) Exiting Tranquility Lane ------------------------ - Disabled changing player to adult (not required due to above) - Disabled reinstating player inventory (not required due to above) - Disabled removal of children\'s clothing (not required due to above) - Disabled addition of Vault 112 suit (not required due to above) - Disabled adding pipboy and pipboy glove back to player (not required due to above) - Disabled removing any TL items from player inventory that may have been picked up (dangerous given we haven\'t removed the player\'s original inventory) So basically, after getting in the TL lounger, you arrive in TL as your custom race adult, with your inventory and pipboy/glove intact. And you exit again in the same state. Personally, I have no interest in doing anything in TL other than exiting TL again, so I just head straight into the Abandoned House, activate the Chinese Invasion program and then exit TL again. And everything is fine. I lose nothing, and my race/age changes not one jot. Just how I
