Description:
===============

The purpose of this mod is simply to ensure that all child NPCs in the New Vegas will wear clothing appropriate for children, regardless of what adult clothing replacers you might have installed for adult NPCs.

===============
Details:
===============

A number of child NPCs in Fallout: New Vegas are equipped with adult clothing or armor. In the vanilla game, this isn't much of a problem, but if you install replacers that give stock clothing and armor more adult proportions, these child NPCs may look a bit strange... either abnormally muscular in the case of boys, or busty in the case of girls. And if it's a very skimpy replacer, the results may be downright disturbing.

With this mod installed, child NPCs should never be seen in clothing or armor that has been changed by replacers. They will wear stock vanilla clothing only. This effects only the child NPCs in vanilla Fallout: New Vegas, not children added by mods.

I accomplished this by editing the inventories of child NPCs. Unfortunately, if you have already encountered an NPC in the game, their inventories may be stored in your save game and will override the changes made in this mod, so it will work best with a new game. NPCs with no low level processing (like the kids chasing the rat in Freeside) should have their inventories reset if you leave and re-enter the cell where they are present.

For child NPCs that were equipped with adult wastelander clothing, I edited them to use the stock childrens clothing (wastelandchild01 through wastelandchild04). There were also children who wore Boomers clothing and Legion armor, and one who wore slave rags. For these, I made new items using renamed copies of the vanilla meshes so they would not be overwritten by replacers. I felt it was better to have them wear the vanilla adult meshes for their factions rather than the generic wastelander child clothes. If child versions of those armors become available, I may release a version of this which supports them, but for now, these child NPCs should appear exactly as they do in the vanilla game (with vanilla adult meshes).

No known compatiblity issues so far. However, this mod will be incompatible with any mod which edits the vanilla child NPCs (until we have a port of Wrye Bash which supports merging of NPC inventories into a patch).
