📋 About This Mod

SLAYABLE OFFSPRING

Requirements 

Fallout 4 AE 1. 11. 137+ OR Fallout 4 1. 10. 163

Address Library for F4SE Plugins

Description

  • []F4SE plugin that makes all children killable and also able to fight and defend themselves.

    []This is done by patching out the IsChild checks in the game's damage/kill/combat code.

    • []Works on all child NPCs with the Child race flag. Unique child animations (and other game features that depend on IsChild) will still work properly.
      • []Base confidence of children is increased from cowardly to average, and the base aggression from unaggressive to aggressive. Children will run away if these are not increased. This can be configured in the included po3_SlayableOffspring.ini.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Simple and effective – does exactly what it says, no patch hassle
  • Decent traction for a niche mod (168 endorsements, 8,345 downloads)
  • Adds a layer of consequence to the wasteland – kids aren't untouchable anymore

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires F4SE, so you're locked into that dependency and need to keep it updated
  • Potential compatibility risk with mods that alter child NPCs or quests involving them
  • Not for everyone – this is a dark, controversial feature that some players will avoid
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who want a grittier, more realistic wasteland where no one is safe, and who are comfortable with F4SE. Skip if you prefer to keep children invulnerable or don't want to mess with script extender dependencies.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure F4SE is installed and launched through its loader (f4se_loader.exe) or the mod won't work.
  • Check your load order – place this mod after other mods that modify child NPCs to avoid conflicts.
  • If you're using a mod manager, use it to install the plugin to ensure proper file placement.
