📋 About This Mod
This small mod changes Nuka Cola Quantum bottles into light sources, so they have a real glow effect.
The bottles can still be picked up or placed into inventory. The ingestible effects of the drink are not affected.
IMPORTANT --------------
- The mod adds a script to the Quantum ingestible object. If you have another mod that adds a script to this object, a mod conflict will arise.
- Multiple light sources can cause performance problems, so piling up a ton of Quantums in one cell may cause slowdowns.
