This package contains three separate ESPs that will allow your Fallout 3 followers to experience all or part of the three supported DLCs with you. All of these allow quick and easy transport of your followers without any of that "They appear after you fast travel again once you get there" or "They may show up running along the pier when you get there" garbage from some other mods that purport to do the same thing.

Details:
===============
Followers Allowed - The Pitt.esp
This mod will allow you to take your followers along with you to visit The Pitt, AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE MAIN DLC QUESTLINE. This was done so as not to conflict with the established Bethesda lore for The Pitt DLC. So it's not much use for making The Pitt easier, but it is handy for immersion if you want company on your trips to the Ammo Press, post-quest.
Followers Allowed - Point Lookout.esp
This mod allows you to take your followers with you to Point Lookout from the very beginning. It removes Tobar's retarded statements about not taking extra passengers and allows your followers to run all the quests with you. However, I did add some extra code to make them wait outside the Sacred Bog, as there are significant bugs if they try to enter it with you. This is probably relating to the dream sequence scripted therein. If any of the official DLCs really needed to allow followers, this one was it. Enjoy!
Followers Allowed - Mothership Zeta.esp
This mod allows your followers to return with you to Zeta's bridge AFTER YOU AND YOUR NEW FRIENDS HAVE SECURED THE SHIP AND COMPLETED THE MAIN DLC QUESTLINE. Again, this was decided to better fit with the established Bethesda lore and the whole solo-alien-abduction motif. But once on the bridge, your followers can successfully accompany you to any part of the ship still accessible upon completion of the DLC, including the transporter to the engineering core!

Compatibility:
===============
These mods will conflict with any others that change the same records. However, the chances of conflict with other mods should be minimal because the entries I altered are very specific to certain DLCs and not widely used for modding. The complete list of altered* records and files is as follows:

*This list includes only original Bethesda records that were altered by me and not any of the new content created completely by me which, by definition, would not conflict with anything.
===============
Bugs/Issues:
===============
This mod has only been tested with original Fallout 3 followers, or those mods that replace the original followers but use the same Reference IDs--like my own "Clover Perfected" series. Custom companions may require some tweaking for everything to work properly. THIS IS NOT A BUG: IT WAS A DESIGN DECISION! I did not have time to code for every possible combination of custom follower mods!
Also, if you fire any of your followers while playing in the DLCs, they will just stand there like dummies waiting for you to return. They WILL NOT go to their usual rally points. I assume that is because Bethesda never wrote the AI routines to let them find their homes on their own from the DLC worldspaces, since followers were not originally permitted in these areas anyway. This is a problem with the game, not my mods, so just deal with it.
Lastly, your followers should do all of their normal follower stuff while in the DLC areas. But if they seem kind of dull and boring when told to wait some of these areas, it is probably because Bethesda gave them no suitable idle animations to use there. Again, this is a problem with the game, no my mods, so just deal with that also.
