📋 About This Mod
The AI Data of creatures like Squirrels, Foxes, Loons, Ducks Owls and others not mentioned has been edited to have "Aggro Radius Behavior" set to False instead of True. This makes it so that they will not aggro and cause companions and NPCs to attack them.
NOTES:
-
[]Creatures spawned in as pests to clear by settlements will not be aggro at you until they are attacked when that quest occurs.
[
]Creatures with a Confidence of Cautious or higher were not edited. They still have the aggro radius.COMPATIBILITY:
- This mod is incompatible with any other mod that also modifies the same creatures (there is an image that shows the ones that were changed).
