📋 About This Mod
FROM THE CREATOR OF FALLOUT 3\'s CRAFT: Community Hack Extending Medical Schematics Changelog: 1. 02: Fixed problem with Psycho Recipe. (Thanks Zorkel :D) 1. 01: Fixed problem some people were having with grayed out recipes even when they meet the requirements. 1. 00: Initial Release Description: This mod adds Chemistry Sets into the game that can be used for the creation of chems. Players can also use CHEMS to make their own chems for the chemistry sets. I have included a a Basic Chems esp that has schematics for all of the original in game chems, such as Jet, Cateye, Buffout and more. Where can I find them? I replaced all of the chemistry set models with working chemistry sets, but I also placed one in GoodSprings next to the workbench, and one in Novac, next to the workbench. If anyone knows where else I should put them, let me know, I haven\'t explored the entire wasteland yet. Installation: Add the CHEMS.esm file to the Data folder and set it to load. Add the CHEMS - Benches.esp file to the Data folder and set it to load (make sure it loads after CHEMS.esm). OPTIONAL: Add the CHEMS - Basic Chems.esp to the Data folder and set it to load (make sure it loads after CHEMS.esm). Doing this will give you the basic chem schematics in the chemistry sets. Let all community made schematics load after CHEMS.esm WARNING: This is an ESM file, although I have tested it myself with no problem, anything that happens to your save game is NOT my fault. Credits: Bethesda and Obsidian - For Fallout New Vegas and the GECK. Terms of Use: You are free to create esp\'s that need the use of CHEMS.esm, so long as you give me credit for the use of CHEMS. If you wish to package CHEMS.esm with any of your mods, you MUST ask me first. Future Plans: Adding more Chemistry Sets around the world. (Please suggest places, I haven\'t explored the entire wasteland yet.)
