While poking around in the texture archive I decided that I'd like my garden gnomes to be leprechauns. I hate garden gnomes

B)

Did you change the names, too, or does the game still show them as "Garden Gnome"?

LOL..... the guys at Bethesda have got to be loving this mod ---- Garden Gnomes svck - but Leprechauns rule...... one of those WTx moments.....

Flood control <_<


I didn't think of that. But, I also don't know how to do that, so no I didn't.

Ah.

I could probably whip up an .esp for you.

That'd be great, thank you muchly :goodjob:

@ Luchaire,

Very cool of you. :goodjob:

Many thanks, Luchaire :cookie: :goodjob:

Have updated the first post and download page with the new file and info, as well as done away with the white beard version.

Cool! Being part Irish, I love this. Also, I hate garden gnomes ever since I carted that one all the way through HL2 Ep. 2 to get that achievement... Death to all garden gnomes!

Thanks for the mental floss.

Now I will have fond memories of the mythical realm where they live and play when I see it in the game.

I was thinking of locating every garden gnome in the game and placing a small pot of caps next to them, to simulate the pot of gold Unfortunately we can't have rainbows because it doesn't rain.
But, when I opened up the Megaton player house in the GECK and saw all the themes plopped in all at once and the garden gnome embedded in the middle of a pot plant I decided not to. Maybe it's all just fine the way it is

I wrote this comment on the Nexus page but shall post here as well.

I've been poking around in the GECK and would like to have them explode when shot at.
If anyone has played the first Sims game there was an option to kick them and they'd explode into a cloud of dust.
Any suggestions for what to use as 'rubble' would be great as I have everything else set up but no clue what to use for debris. Perhaps a pile of ash?
It'll be an optional extra, anyway

I already have my Outhouses set to explode if shot at (methane is highly flammable ), perhaps those who don't like garden gnomes can destroy them

Slightly updated. I've added an optional 1.2 upgrade (separate file). Now when you shoot at them they explode The archive contains four sequential images showing it. Works on both Damaged and Intact Leprechauns.

Looks decent though the detail is quite fuzzy, blurred.

Could you make it like Eyebots, when they explode tin cans and bent tin cans fly in all directions.
Would you be able to make it explode and bottle caps fly out, like 50 so that it is possible to atleast fine 20...

Hehe awesome :tops:

Downloaded the exploding version

How about Pink Flamingos?

I didn't know eyebots exploded like that. Although I never did hang around to see what sort of mess they made.
That's an idea, though I don't really know how to go about doing it. I'll have a look around, though.

I know how to bring in new meshes into Oblivion, but this one I have no idea just yet. My last attempt failed miserably. The guy that usually helps me with new meshes doesn't play Fallout, unfortunately. I'd like flamingoes as well

FYI, http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/6294/bottlecapdeathclawsb0.jpg. Very cool little detail that many people miss.

Ah, I didn't know that, either. I don't pay much attention to things like that while playing :hehe:

I might be able to use that. Thanks!

Last call for Leprechauns

I'm amazed this hasn't been pruned yet.

I was in The Pitt last night and found an Intact Garden Gnome dressed as a Leprechaun. I don't know if I should have additional plugins for the DLC's. Do we really see that many gnomes around? If anyone wants me to do them I can

You could give them a little script that adds around 20 caps when you get them

Maybe the number of caps could depend on how high (or low) your Luck is. If it's really low you get nothing, or something really pointless like a piece of random clutter

Haha, nice. I think it would be pretty cool if you just made it one Leprechaun with a quest attached, and when you find him there's a pot full o' caps next to him.
