📋 About This Mod
This mod conflicts with the unofficial fallout 4 patch in Fo4edit, but a patch is not needed. My mod simply removes this effect altogether, while the unofficial fallout 4 patch fixes the effect.
If you aren't sure what this mod does:
Radstag steak gives the player 25 carry weight.
If the player is hungry, radstag steak doesn't give the player a carry weight bonus.
With this mod, radstag steak will give the player the bonus carry weight even when hungry.
