📋 About This Mod
This is a tiny mod that fixes a small oversight in Actually Useful Charisma where, if you initially pass the Charisma 6 check to sleuth out Ralph's couterfeit passport gig, and then decline to buy one for whatever reason (not enough caps, etc.), the option to buy a passport is missing if your Speech is lower than 50.
This mod fixes that oversight, where that dialogue option now checks for a Charisma of 6, just like the first check.
Additionally, I forwarded any fixes from YUP that I could find; AUC overrides several fixes included in YUP, so I forwarded any I could find without making YUP a master.
Also included are patches for Nehred's Harder New Vegas Strip Access and PushTheWinButton's JSawyer Ultimate Edition.
The former forwards the Ralph fix, it also raises the Charisma check to 9 if you have `bRalphSpeechBarter` enabled in that mod's `.ini`. Otherwise the check will remain at a Charisma of 6.
The latter keeps the requirement of a Charisma of 6 to take the Lady Killer and Cherchez La Femme perks, while forwarding JSUE's higher damage buffs (15% in JSUE vs 10% in vanilla/AUC).
You DO NOT NEED the original mod from cheeseninja333, this version is standalone.
Credits to cheeseninja333 for making the mod in the first place and having mostly-open permissions to modify it.
This patch fixes a bug in Actually Useful Charisma where buying a passport didn't check Charisma after declining and retrying, and forwards all fixes from YUP. For players using that mod who want the intended Charisma checks and YUP compatibility.

For Fallout: New Vegas players who use Actually Useful Charisma and want the Charisma checks to work correctly, especially if you've run into the passport bug. Also for those who want YUP's fixes integrated. Skip if you don't use those mods or don't care about this edge case.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Actually Useful Charisma and YUP installed before adding this patch, and load it after them in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, let it handle the load order automatically—this patch should be placed after the main mods.
- Test the passport scenario in-game (e.g., at the Mojave Outpost) to confirm the fix works.
