About this mod
A mod that sets caravans, permanent and temporary companions, Scavengers, hunters (non-cannibal), plus several vulnerable NPCs in Fallout 3 to be essential. This is a personal mod that I decided to share.

Bugs:
- If you have any mods overhauling the main companions you may have a problem with the companions being essential, in that case, use the bat file along with whatever part of the main mod your using. Bat files should be compatible with anything.
- I recommend loading as far down on your load list as possible I had some problems with caravan guards dying but after doing this it seems to have fixed it.
files:
- Essential NPC's Full
Essential NPC's Main - requires only Fallout 3 - required file
Essential NPC's Anchorage
Essential NPC's Broken Steel
Essential NPC's Point Lookout
Essential NPC's Mothership Zeta
must use main but can disable any you don't have the DLC for, same for any optional files that have a DLC plugin.
Installation: just drop into the Fallout 3 Data folder
As for the bat files you need to put them in the folder with the Fallout3.exe, and when you go into the game open the console then type bat esson to enable and bat essoff to disable, after that save your game.
