📋 About This Mod
This mod makes normal variant Radstags (Yearling, Doe, Radstag, Erratic, Erratic Doe) friendly, while keeping all other variants aggressive. I'm aware there's a mod out that does this already, but it makes all Radstags friendly and seems to be abandoned. Making this work was a simple as creating a new faction for the friendly Radstags and making it friendly with the normal Radstag, player, player friend, and Dogmeat factions. A DLC free version is also available.
If you have any mods that alter the entries for the now friendly Radstags or Radstag Faction, whichever one is lower in your load order will override the other
Created in FO4Edit
