📋 About This Mod
After you finish quest "Kid in a fridge" (of course it depends HOW you finish the quest, I'll avoid spoilers), talk to Matt Peabody. He will have extra dialogue options that will allow you send whole family in your owned vanilla settlements. Because it's kinda stupid to live in a ruined house, surrounded by gunners.
Carol can be a chem vendor,doctor or a farmer.
Matt can be farmer, scavenger or whatever you want.
Billy as all vanilla kids can't be assigned to anything, he will just sand-box in settlement.
Mod adds one custom quest with some scripts, and also edits NPCs - Carol, Matt and Billy (added necessary factions and workshopnpc script)
