📋 About This Mod
Removes Mr. House's claim of Cats being Extinct. ESP-less?! Wowzers!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
This mod (and other mod developments of mine regarding Fallout: New Vegas) are now on indefinite hiatus.
Current Events, Natural Disasters, Environmental Factors and Rapidly Declining Health have forced me to put my focus on things of greater importance first and foremost.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and I thank all those who have shown care and support in these troubling times.
My mods will remain up on Nexus, but will not be updated or maintained. I hope for and appreciate your understanding.
