📋 About This Mod

OVERVIEW:

This mod makes radstags neutral/friendly. That's it. Radstags will still attack you if shot, but they won't hunt you down while you're out in the Commonwealth wilderness anymore.

ESPless. Powered by Robco Patcher. No manual edits.

Plug-and-play, install or uninstall at any time.

WHY?

Because hostile radstags are super irritating. Companions always shoot at them for just walking around, which is distracting and draws enemy attention on occasion.
