Toms Bruisers - Lightweight Raider Gang Overhaul

A super lightweight and vanilla-friendly overhaul of the Tower Tom raider gang level lists. Utilizing only vanilla content, this is designed to be vanilla-friendly and minimalist. If you're into big overhauls with plenty of new assets, this may not be the kind of mod for you.

Tower Tom leads a small-time raider gang hiding out in Beantown Brewery. While his gang is small, Tom's ambitions are high with his sights aimed at overtaking several other nearby raider gangs. After a failed attempt to steal food from the federal ration stockpile, Tom lost a great portion of his gang, and Sparta is leading the rest of the members on a supply run. These are all factors taken into consideration and reflected in this mod. In the vanilla game, Tower Toms gang is incredibly small. To reflect their amateur nature and recent losses, the gang has little supplies and a rustic look. Buttoned shirts and jeans, clad in whatever scrap metal the gang could find are what the Beantown Bruisers tend to wear. Some will also have a hat or on occasion construction helmet. Tower Tom himself is the most outfitted, with a wrapped armored robe as his only outfit choice. Weapon lists have remained untouched, as I feel that the vanilla raider weapon lists have a fair and believable variety for this gang. In addition to the outfit changes, Tower Toms gang are now identified as "Beantown Bruisers". This is to help make this raider gang stand out from the others, as despite there being many in vanilla, none are properly identified.

This is specifically designed to be a direct replacement, and therefore directly edits level lists, outfit records, and sometimes NPC data. It will conflict with anything that also directly edits affected records, though will be compatible with mods that use level list injection. Keep this in mind when organizing and sorting your load order.

Install with a mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2 and activate. Alternatively, drag and drop the files in your 'Data' folder and activate with the mod manager of your choice if required.
