📋 About This Mod

Adds Tags to the beginning of items in your pipboy inventory, making it easier to sort items and find what you need. Also adds junk tags to end of misc junk items so you can see what resources you will get when you scrap it.  Thanks to everyone who has helped to report some of the wrongly tagged items.

Apparel and Plan Rarity Explanation (added with 1. 7):

APPAREL AND PLAN RARITY MAY BE INACCURATE, OUTDATED, AND/OR INCOMPLETE. The things that are tagged with a specific rarity just means that you should do more research before vendoring or deleting that item. Just because something is not tagged as rare does not mean that it is not rare! The rarity information comes from the good folks over at The Plan Collectors. If you have updates or notice glaring inaccuracies or omissions, please let me know, but also let them know.

Note: I am not responsible if you get banned or anything for using this mod. It's all client-side so I would think you are safe, but you never know.
