Question about children

[Neuromancer]

i have fallout UK 1.2
installed xteam patch+children patch.
everything works fine, kids are in the game.
but i have a minor problem: i havent played the US version, so i dont know if it is right, but all the kids in shady sands are running around like complete idiots, with hands raised, i can hardly even talk to them, not to mention i cant even steal from them.
now is this normal, i mean the kids are so happy that they are living that they have to run around or this is a result of a patch conflict?

They're definitely happy they made it into your game.

I beleive the patch works perfect. Didn't try it myself (I got the US version), but I've tried similar patch (kids + gore effects) for the german version (made by some german people) and it was OK. Furthermore, the kids in the US version behave the same way (at least in Shady Sands).

Sounds pretty normal. You should be able to steal from them, but it may take some patience - same as when you're trying to heal your ungrateful NPCs.
