📋 About This Mod
One of the things that really bothered me about vanilla Fallout 4 was the fact that you have no idea what caps are and what they're used for, unless you first visit Abernathy Farm and speak to Lucy. This mod adds an immersive way the player finds out that caps are now the world's way of paying people via an NPC outside Vault 111.

1. 1 Update
New outfit for the NPC with armor pieces. Note is now from the hirer's perspective.
Best used on a new vanilla playthrough,
or if doing an alternate start roleplaying as someone who
doesn't know about caps.
