About this mod

During the course of your playthrough, you might stumble across Clinton and his daughter Charlie having a series of heartbreaking conversations. You'd think you'd be able to lend them a helping hand, but alas…
This mod is an attempt to rectify that inhumane oversight. Should you trigger the random encounter, you'll now have the opportunity to talk to Clinton and assign him to one of your settlements. Wherever you send him, Charlie will also be assigned. You can't move Charlie to a different settlement directly unless Clinton dies (which he shouldn't because he's flagged as protected), but I've otherwise tried to keep it as close as possible to the vanilla recruitment quests.
Features
- Once Clinton and Charlie have been recruited, they continue to talk to one another when they're close enough together.
- Children's beds are added as workshop objects so Charlie has somewhere to sleep.
- Spoiler:ShowIf Shaun and Charlie are sent to the same settlement, they will have conversations with each other.
Installation
Extract the files to your data folder and enable. This mod doesn't provide any additional quest or force the random encounter to start, so once the mod's enabled, you're reliant on luck to find it! Crucially, the mod must already be enabled when the encounter begins or the recruitment conversation will not be initiated; you will need to wait for the random encounter to come back around after enabling.
The encounter system can be a little buggy (i.e. random encounters can stop triggering after a while), so I recommend the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch to make your life easier (i.e. to make sure random encounters continue to trigger). Other mods are also available to make random encounters trigger more often.
If you have already recruited Clinton and Charlie before installing a version of the mod with the post-game scene, you will need to run the following console commands for that scene to initiate:
stopquest clintoncharlieinteractionscene
startquest clintoncharlieinteractionscene
Compatibility
Because the vanilla quest and NPCs are edited to make them recruitable, this mod will override any other mods that do the same thing. If that's a problem, you might prefer LarannKiar's similar mod, which also adds more extensive dialogue options.
