📋 About This Mod
Squirrels Of The Commonwealth is a nice addition to the world, but I found the squirrels it adds in to be a little too strong. This mod lowers their stats and changes the aggro/nerve level on some varieties. I found this necessary in order to make them more a part of the general ambient fauna as opposed to a true combat opponent, though some varieties are still powerful enough to be of some worth in a fight.
They are now more in line with mole rats in terms of resilience, but somewhat more cowardly. The lower-tier squirrels are quite squishy now, and should run away from you if provoked as opposed to attacking you. The higher-tier varieties(albino, glowing, Nuka) retain the same aggro settings but have lower health and damage resistances.
Requires Squirrels Of The Commonwealth, of course.
