📋 About This Mod
This savegame was made with no ESM or ESP mods installed so it should be clean. However, official DLC's were installed when I made this save file.
What I did within this savegame:
-
[]collected the medicine bobblehead and Grognak the Barbarian skill book (did not use the skill book)
[
]collected the BB gun, ammo for the BB gun, and the baseball bat[]collected all the security armor and weapons (besides/spared Officer Gomez)
-
[]collected all the medical supplies, ammo, and bobby pins
[]collected the vault lab uniform
[]saved Butch's mom
- spared the overseer
There is another mod for this, however in that mod, the overseer was killed, and there is no indication of whether the medicine and grognak skill book were taken or not.
