with a ton of new dialogue, perks and other features, check it out!


Also, the incredibly talented Lovelit has given Scratch a voice!
SCRATCH - AI VOICE OVER



(Art by me!)

INTRO

Meet Scratch! She's a (slightly) ghoulish scavenger who'll accompany you through the Capital Wasteland! She may be small, but she has an enormous personality and a wicked sense of humour to make up for it. Armed with a uniquely crafted melee weapon, and an enhanced version of the dart gun, Scratch is more than capable of dealing with many of the horrors of post-apocalyptic DC.



FEATURES

  • Fully functional companion, with all the expected features.
  • A small quest that rewards you with your own copy of Scratch's unique weapons.
  • A whole new interior zone, located near Mama Dolce's factory.
  • Over 200 lines of dialogue. No voice acting, but Scratch can refer to the player character by name.
  • An armour switching system, activated via dialogue, which features four made-to-measure outfits.
  • Literal MINUTES of content!



LOCATION

Scratch can be found just north of the Super Duper Mart, scrounging for scrap under a bridge.



INSTALLATION

If you're using Vortex/Mod Organizer 2, it should be as simple as clicking download and installing.
To install manually, extract the contents of the JNCompanionScratch into your fallout 3/data folder.
To uninstall, delete JNCompanionScratch.esp, along with the JuicyNuggins folders located in data/meshes and data/textures.



AUTHOR'S NOTES

Thanks for reading this far! This is my first 'proper' mod, and I'm really happy to be finally uploading it. This has been one of those 'things I've been meaning to do forever but never getting around to it'. But now I've done it!
I really adore Scratch. She's been a Fallout OC of mine for a very long time, and I felt like she'd be a perfect candidate for a companion. I'm no writer by any stretch of the imagination, but I tried really hard to bring this character to life, and I hope you like her as much as I do.



RECOMMENDED MODS

This mod doesn't have any additional requirements (except possibly FOSE), however, there are a few mods that will enhance your experiences through the wasteland with Scratch!

Wastelander Backpacks (The Wastelander backpack in particular looks great on Scratch.)
MG's Neat Clutter (We all deserve the highest quality plungers.)
Plunger Launcher (I mean, yeah.)



THANKS
Scratch's skin and outfits were made by frankensteining parts of other modder's work together. A lot of these assets I've had for a very long time, and I've long since forgotten where I got them from. However, I'll attempt to list off some names I managed to find, many of which are no longer available on the nexus.

The CotW Team (Armour, body and other assets)

Bethesda (Made Fallout 3 I guess)
My bestie who shall remain anonymous (helped me test the mod!)


If you spot your handiwork here and I haven't credited you, PLEASE let me know!!




WARNING
Scratch is a child character. However, due to limitations of the engine, she had to be flagged as an adult. This will give her default adult movement animations, but also, it makes it possible for her to die. If this is an issue, I have included an optional file which flags her as 'essential' making her unkillable, like children in the vanilla game.
