Help dealing with that Simm's boy...please

[Skotte]

Ok, I dled this mod-> http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2399 & since I am playing a child char myself I thought it'd be cool to have a child companion as well so I chose to recruit "Maggie" & with a tweak or two in the geck she's become a decent fighter but that boy wont stay in Megaton & he has a tendency to loot our (maggie's & my) kills.

 

I tried to lock him in his house & his room but that had no effect.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I didn't post this in mod troubleshooting as I don't see this as problem with a mod.

kill him?

or other wise just go on the geck and remove him from the game?

Maybe he is just jealous you stole his wishbe girlfriend :)

 

Since I don't know the particularities of Fallout 3, follows simple 'may be' look points.

 

Check if he have an AI package that force him to follow her (like to talk or whatever)

 

For what I know killing him is not an option (game child protection), removing the NPC on GECK, drastic but may work. Yet I don't advise removing vanilla characters since this can break actual or future expansions/mods.

 

If nothing above, try giving him an custom AI package (even if this does him a dumb figure).

 

good luck

Ok, I fired up a savegame from before Harden was a nuisance, recruited Maggie, went to Lucas Simms' place and tried to talk to Harden (so I could recruit him for "guard" duty) after about a minute of hitting the "E" key my character must have given him a dirty look or something because Harden freaks out, the game offers advice on activating VATS (hadn't used it yet for that character).

 

after watching him run around for a bit I managed to catch him on-screen when I brought up the console I managed to shut down his AI (TAI) that stopped him cold. though judging from my crosshair he considers me a threat.

 

might try that again without trying to talk to him.

 

:thanks: for the replies.

You could use the child killer mod to bypass the "game child protection" nonsense. It's much more stable than actually removing the NPC with the GECK.
