📋 About This Mod
The Vault 81 quest "Hole in the Wall" can cause you to have a permanent -10 HP penalty if you contract mole rat disease and you make the morally correct choice to save Austin. Apparently, Curie only has one cure available. She explains that she lacks the necessary materials to create another dose. So for the rest of your days you have this mole rat disease.
This is, for all intents and purposes, fine. Just fine. I can cure some really sick person on death's door over in Far Harbor, but I can't cure mole rat disease, even though I have Curie here who knows how to cure it, but won't, because she lacks materials. End of story.
Or... you can install this mod. Now you can craft the antidote, because obviously Curie provided you with the recipe:
-
[]3x Acid
[
]2x Antiseptic[]1x Steel
[]2x Purified Water
[]3x Glowing Blood Pack
The cure is only craftable if:
-
[]You have completed the quest.
[]You have mole rat disease.
[]You do not possess the cure.
You can only craft one dose at the Chemistry station. You do not require any perks, because Curie already informed you how to make it.
The Mysterious Serum can also be used to cure it. This was done because of precedent of the Mysterious Serum being able to heal Andre Michaud, and being a somewhat difficult item to obtain and use, for those who like that idea.
Some Notes
[]ESP plugin flagged as ESL. Ready to add to your heavy load order.
[]Patch available in the FOMOD installer for Immersive Animation Framework to make the cure animated when used. Patch is a plugin replacer since this is such a small tweak.
[]The cure will work in third person.
[]Yes, there are several other mods that provide similar
-
[]You have completed the quest.
