✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,632 endorsements and 277k downloads—clearly a must-have for stealth builds.
- Solves a real annoyance: no more glowing companion ruining your sneak.
- Tiny mod, no bloat—just does one thing and does it well.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—might not be patched for newer game updates or DLC, though core effect likely still works.
- Only affects Berry Mentats—if you wanted broader chem tweaks, this isn't it.
For Fallout 4 stealth players who rely on Berry Mentats to spot enemies but hate seeing their companion glow like a beacon. Also for anyone who finds the highlight effect distracting during dialogue or when just exploring. Skip if you never use Berry Mentats or prefer to keep the vanilla behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that alter chem effects to ensure the override works.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, just download and enable—no F4SE needed.
- Test with your companion out and weapon holstered to see the effect immediately.
