📋 About This Mod
This is a tweak of gurk_meja\'s original Bittercup Companion mod. You must install his mod first, to get necessary sound files. Get it here at the nexus http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1991 Bittercup will now have a default silenced 10mm pistol, modified. She handles the repair and ammo (IE, it will never run out of ammo or become damaged, and you will never be able to take it from her, just like other companion\'s default weapons). It is much more powerful than a normal 10mm, for obvious balance reasons. She will not be as powerful as Fawkes, or even Charon in close combat, but she does very well holding her own with her unique pistol. And she does it with style! Only her default skin tone and hair has been changed as far as appearance, so if you were already using Bittercup Companion with any of the Bittercup Restyled mods, just make sure your load order remains the same and everything should work fine. Remember, you do not NEED any of the Restyled mods to get the appearance in the screenshots, that is her new default. This includes the one at gurk_meja\'s original link, all you need is the base 1. 3 files. Installation: Make sure you have the original Bittercup Companion 1. 3 mod installed. Replace the bittercup_comp.esp in the \\fallout3\\data\\ folder with the one in this zip file. If you already had her as a companion, make sure to clear out her inventory before loading this upgraded mod, to avoid losing anything you might have given her to carry. Also, credits to tavtav for making the excellent black leather armor textures shown here. You can get that mod at http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=191
