Make Mod Companions Essential?

[AntCFCPerkz]

Hi guys,

 

new to modding games here! is there any way of making modded companions, e.g Vanessa Essential?

 

They keep dying on me unfortunately so I save often,

 

Thanks

Yes, you can open such mods in FO3Edit, go to the NPC record and in the "Flags" you can set the essential one.

You can also open them in the G.E.C.K if they are for the vanilla game. I had a similar problem using the Brianna Companion, and the Slave Raider Companion and had to set them as Essential using the G.E.C.K. For Brianna there was an in game option for the Mod but I found it didn't work she still got killed on me..

 

There is a Mod that sets Essential status to all companions but it probably doesn't work for companions that are not in the original game such as the ones I was using, Angel, etc.. I don't really know about that haven't tried them, though there are a few mods for it.
