📋 About This Mod

Ghoulification

Introduction

We all know the dangers of radiation, but with the right precautions, you CAN prevent accidental death or even -- eewww -- ghoulification - Three dog. This has never been more true, but now with this mod you actually run the risk of actually becoming a ghoul.

Ghoulification works in 4 stages, these will start 24 hours after having advanced radiation poisoning (around 600 rads) the effects will go as the following:

- Stage one is very minor skin peeling

- Stage two is more visible peeling and by this point ghoulification is uncurable

- Stage three is the final stage you will look increasingly more ghoulish and visibly ill

- Stage 4 is full ghoulification, this will make the player no longer effected by radiation poisoning, feral ghouls will no longer attack the player on sight (can be provoked still), the players heal rate will be increased on based on how much radiation they have. This also comes with some charisma de-buffs as a trade off and well the fact your character will look like a corpse is another trade off.

Radiation poisoning works exactly the same as it did in Fallout 3 here is a link to the wiki page for the effects you can expect from it Fallout 3 Radiation Poisoning.

NOTE: Once you become a ghoul there is no going back and you cannot uninstall the mod with a character that is already a ghoul, if you do your character will be broken. (on that note you can uninstall during the 3 phases without issue)
NOTE: ClassicGhoulRace2022.esp must be left as-is and cannot be flagged as an esl. Doing so will cause a CTD when reaching Stage 4 of Ghoulification.

Features

- Adds the ability to dynamically become a ghoul in game by long effects of radiation exposure .

- Adds back in radiation poisoning from Fallout 3.

- 4 stages of ghoulification so you can visually see the transition. While keeping your characters morphs intact so you still look like you but a ghoul.
