📋 About This Mod
Benny's Lucky Lighter Version: 1. 0 by Arlekin. 05/25/2011
- --- Description --------------
- Somewhere in Boulder things went pretty south for Benny. Must have been because he lost his lucky lighter. :)
This mod changes the Engraved Cigarette Lighter the Courier receives from Jessup into Benny's Lucky Lighter. The lighter uses the same script as the Lucky 8-Ball in Fallout 3. When the lighter is in the player's inventory, it confers a +1 bonus to Luck, which is then removed if the lighter is dropped.
Additionally, I've created an in-world mesh and new texture for the lighter, using the Dynamite lighter as a starting point.
- --- Instructions -------------
- Extract to your data directory, and activate the .esp file in FOMM or the launcher.
- --- History ------------------
- v1. 0 - Initial release
- --- Credits / Permissions ----
- Obisidan/Bethesda : Fallout NV
Anyone is free to use, modify, or redistribute this mod however they want. Feel free to package it into a compilation mod if you'd like. You don't need to ask my permission, but please credit me if you want to re-use it. Have fun.
