📋 About This Mod
Adds a variety of squirrels to the game
Like the title implies, this mod brings squirrels to the Commonwealth. No longer will squirrel bits go without an explanation! As of right now there are seven varieties:
Squirrel Pups 'Normal' Squirrels Garbage Squirrels Albino Squirrels Glowing Squirrels Suicide Squirrels Quantum Squirrels
They are all ridiculously fast and more dangerous than their size implies. They are based off the Rad Rat added by Nuka World, but have a custom mesh, textures and sounds. You can capture them in a cage (with silt beans as bait) or encounter them in plenty of places throughout the Commonwealth (mainly in wooded areas and at Fiddler's Green Trailer Estates, for obvious reasons, also in trash piles in urban environments). Having captive squirrels may lead to an attack on your settlement, just like any other creature. Due to the radiation, they are completely hairless, minus their whiskers. This might change in the future if I can figure out how to animate the tail mesh I've made (any animation related advice is more than welcome). I have also provided mountable squirrel heads if that's your thing.
I have close to 700 mods running with my build and haven't run into anything that conflicts with these yet. If something does conflict I can most likely make a patch, just let me know!
From what I've researched, it appears this entry is fairly conflict friendly. Automatron and Har Farbor have a conflict here, and if you Check in FO4Edit it will show this mod as conflicting with those two DLCs for this entry. This shouldn't be an issue**
REQUIREMENTS As of right now, both Nuka World and Wasteland Workshop are required. I may add squirrels to Far Harbor in the future.
FUTURE PLANS As mentioned before, I am trying to figure out how to add animations to a new tail mesh. My attempts so far have only ended in CTDs and spaghettification. I'm not completely satisfied with their eye textures, so expect a minor update. I'm also looking into adapting the tree ambush the Gulpers use for squirrels, but that might be a little beyond what I'm capable a
