This mod project began in March 2023 and continued development through to May 1st, 2025
Do not redistribute without the author's permission.
                                               

                                                                                   
✅ Fully Compatible:
  • Atom’s Warrior
    Works seamlessly. Even though Zealot Theil and Zealot Ware are used in quests, this mod includes compatibility modes for both characters. If the player allies with them, Atom’s Wrath may appear to assist the player.

  • Sim Settlements 2 & Sim Settlements 1
    Fully supported. After defeating the Institute, Brotherhood of Steel, or the Railroad, vanilla global values will update accordingly, which can be detected by SS2, SS1, and America Rising 2.

  • Mind Game
    No known issues. This mod works fine alongside Mind Game.


  • SOTS ( or Atom's Storm)
    Compatible and tested. But the COA from their mod will Attack Player, this can't be change, cause their COA's Faction is SOTS COA FAction, not children of atom faction in commonwealth or Far harbor,For the sake of rationality, in the future, maybe a package will be made to be compatible with the Atomic Cult of SOTS, and add the side quests there.

  • Church of Atom Overhaul
    No conflicts. This mod complements the overhaul and expands the Atom cult narrative.

  • All Tinuvia’s Children of Atom Mods

  • America Rising2 
         This might sound a little dramatic—but while I was working on Atom’s Retribution 2 back in 2023, America Rising 2 was already in the works. It wasn’t until the release           of America Rising 2 that I realized something unexpectedly funny: both of our mods just happen to share the same abbreviation—AR2.(LOL)

         As for compatibility:
         If the player first allies with the Institute via America Rising 2, and later destroys the Institute through the Children of Atom in Atom’s Retribution 2, the Enclave will                   immediately turn hostile toward the player.

         If the player destroys the Institute with the Children of Atom before the Institute has formally surrendered to the Enclave, then the Enclave will remain neutral toward               the player and the Children of Atom. What happens next... is still being tested.

         If both mods treat the Institute as friendly, nothing major will happen. Similarly, if the Institute is destroyed in both mods, everything will proceed smoothly.

         However, things can get hilariously dramatic in Diamond City:
         If Atom’s Retribution 2 has the Children of Atom destroy the Institute, and America Rising 2 has the Enclave remain allied with the Institute, then you may return to                   Diamond City to find COA and Enclave banners flying side by side, and even open firefights breaking out between the two factions in the middle of the city.

 The Other :This mod also reflects my personal growth as a developer. In the beginning, the early quests were quite simple due to my limited skills. As I gained more experience, I was able to create more engaging and dynamic content during the mid-development phase. Eventually, I started building more complex quests in the later stages.
Before release, I revisited and revamped some of the early quests, so they may now feel more polished than the mid-game quests. I plan to continue refining and reworking the mid-game content to bring it up to the same standard as the rest of the mod.
