About This File

DC Guards Are Now Women
Intended for use with a new game

 

 

What does this do?
This mod changes all the Diamond City guards to females, with the exception of Danny Sullivan (because he's so dreamy...)
 

How do they Sound?

The guards still use the male guard voices for now. 

I'm still learning, and do not know exactly what method to employ to remove the voice.  It might simply be a matter of adding a new voice record into the mod and changing all their voices to it, but I don't know if that means they wont have any dialogue, lip-syncing, etc.  My goal would be to maintain the text dialogue but remove the audio.  I may upload a different version in the future to address this. 

 

So for now, you can either turn down the volume when you pass them, or speak loudly over top of them in a high pitched voice while reading the subtitles.  Pretend they are all synths and the institute accidentally gave them all the wrong voice modulation masks and Piper was right all along and as a result Darth Vader is over there speaking like a girl from Fah Habah.  Perhaps they simply smoked way too many cigars at the nightly Poker Game in Geneva's room.  Maybe it's the rads...

 

How do they look?
I copied the various properties from "WorkshopNPCGuard "Settler" [NPC_:001167A5]" into each guard record for the look while making every effort to not break their AI and stuff.  I then customized them to have different vanilla hairstyles, hair colors and eye colors.  Feel free to use xEdit and change them to your liking.  You could even add a hair mod as a master to this one, load this after the hair mod, and try using whatever hair you want.  The hairstyles: Frazzled, Wendy the Welder, No Nonsense, Femme Fatale, Crazy Morning, Rough Night, Young at Heart and Public Defender. 

 

Will this take up an esp spot?
This plugin is esp-FE meaning it is "esl flagged esp file" and doesn't take up any room on your load order.

 

Requirements?

Nothing special, but here's a fun fact.  One of the guard records (DiamondCitySecurityUpper01 [NPC_:00002F6F]) gets forwarded to DLCCoast which is the Far Harbour DLC, so I forwarded that one.  But there's no changes in between the core game and the DLC, so this mod only needs Fallout.esm as a master.


Compatibility:
Armorsmith Extended has a known bug that makes the DC guards partially naked.  There's a patch for it here: Armorsmith Extended Diamond City Guard Patch

I did open this up with awkcr / ae in xedit and didn't see any conflicts, but they do modify leveled lists for the guards if I recall correctly.

If you aren't getting female guards, and you've started a new game with this mod enabled, you may need to open all your mods in xEdit (FO4Edit) and see what is causing the problem.  If there is an issue, it may be possible to forward the records from the other mod along with this one into a patch.

Thanks:

Huge thank you to @gravechild3 for requesting this mod, I enjoyed learning more about NPC records while making it.

 

Notes:

- In the screen shots I'm using Classy Chassis Outfits - Vulgar Villains (replacer version) by GrafPanzer which includes the DC Guard outfit.

- This mod is really just a patch, I make no claims to it. If anyone wants to make changes and upload their own version, just send me a link and I'll link to it.  You don't have to, but it would be cool to see what other people do with it.

- I tested this mod a few times, and did not run into any issues.  If I missed any guards, please press the ~ key, and left click on the guard, and give me a screen shot.  I'm pretty sure I got them all but you never know.

 

Future Plans:

- Might look into fixing / removing the voice

- Maybe add some different skin tones
