*You do not need to play as a child to use this mod! You just need the resources from the required files for it to function. See below.
Description:
This mod adds raider children to locations such as Springvale Elementary School, Fairfax Ruins, Bethesda Ruins, the Super Duper Mart, etc. These children are spawned at random from several lists, so you shouldn't see the same children in the same places over and over. These children are mortal; you can fight and kill them if you wish. Some of them are hostile (they attack you), and others are docile (they won't attack you).
The two types of raider children are different in appearance as well as behavior. Some appear to have joined the ranks of their evil raider parents; others have yet to learn the ways of murder and mayhem. Discerning which is which in the middle of a firefight will be up to the player. This leaves your interactions with these new characters open-ended; will you be the savior of those whose lives you choose to spare, or will you kill indiscriminately, believing that the only good raider is a dead raider?
As of v1.4, all raider children wear raider armor. I thought this made more sense, and it also means you have to be more careful about shooting before you approach... if you want to spare the non-aggressive ones, that is. Now you'll have to pay attention to the behavior of the kids rather than just looking at the clothing when attacking a raider hideout.
Note: the raider armor will still use whatever meshes you have assigned for that armor, be it vanilla or modded (I have not created armor specially fitted for children; I'm not talented enough).
Now with even more unique (named) children!

Let me know in the comments section or through pm's about any issues you encounter while using this mod. Recommendations for future development are welcome as well. This is my first mod upload; please keep this in mind. Please allow me some time to fix issues before you choose to give my file the thumbs down, thanks!
I personally play with FWE, MMM, EVE, WMK, and many other mods and have not found any noticeable incompatibilities in-game.
