📋 About This Mod
Version 0. 8 Now Fixes the Following bugs: Danse's armour can now be equipped/unequipped. This addresses issues mentioned here. Danse can now exit/enter power armor. Strong, Valentine and Curie can now re-equipped/remove their initial outfits, and they can even be removed from their inventory, just like all the other companions. Note: Strongs fix will only apply if you haven't yet interacted with him Valentine's trench coat now has the same stats as the (almost) identical Faded Trench Coat. All companions are now affected by the Live and Love magazine Synth Curie now has the perks all other companions get, most importantly she can now sneak Synth Curie now prefers ranged combat over unarmed Synth Curie has increased SPECIAL, now 5/10/5/5/11/9/4 from 5/4/4/4/4/4/4. This brings her more in line with the other companions and restores her intelligence to her robot level. Fixes the constantly repeating dialogue around the USS Constitution.
If anyone points out similar bugs I'll take a crack at fixing them too.
Created with FO4Edit and the Creation Kit.
To Install: Copy the file to Fallout 4\Data. Add the name of the file (CompanionBugfix.esp) to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Fallout4\plugins.txt" Should also work with NMM, although I haven't tested it myself. Let me know how it goes.
