Clandestine Chemistry- Rock Bottom Drugs

You wanna know my curse?

I can't let a damn joke die. I've been living the same dark humor comedy for twenty-one years, and I'm the sick fucker who keeps writing this. Then again, it's lovely folks like you who keep enabling me so honestly you have nobody to blame but yourselves.

Let's cut to the chase, shall we? What does Squidfest's new funny hee-hee mod do today?

Well, Eat some Glue was a massive success and I felt inspired to learn more, to make my mods even better. Yes, that was my tipping point. The fucking glue mod. Not trying to make a follower in Skyrim, no. No, New Vegas Glue Mod. Yep. So here's what I've done:

I have added (and plan to continue to add) a variety of "street drugs", the sort of things that people whip up in bathtubs using lead paint and gasoline. I mean, look at the Fiends at Vault 3. You mean to tell me they've never had to seal a wing of the vault because some dumb motherfucker mixed chlorine and ammonia and created mustard gas while trying to get high? Get real.

Fact is, people in the non-apocalyptic states do shit like this. Huff carcinogenic inhalants. Sniff markers. Snort glue.

And unlike it does in this game, they don't get superpowers. Because they fucking die in most cases.

Then again, usually people who get shot in the head with a 9mm from point-blank and buried in a shallow grave in the desert also fucking die in most cases. This is Squidfest, telling you to NOT HUFF CHEMICALS IN REAL LIFE! INSTEAD, HUFF THEM IN THIS GAME. GET YOUR KICKS HERE.

So, it adds Warm Glue (for eatin'), Glue (For Snorting), Turpentine (For Snorting), Krokodil (for setting yourself on a path that will likely require amputation), and a chem designed by the Fiends to fight the effects of sudden sniffing death syndrome known as "Bathtub Addictol."

They are injected into the levelled lists via a script (babby's first big boy mod that uses scripts!) and should spawn on raiders, fiends, and in the pockets of junkies and dealers. Probably.

Additionally, the new addictions cannot be cured at a doctor. Why? Because the AddictionRemovalEFFECT script specifically enumerates every addiction in the game individually (instead of, say, using the "addiction" tag to identify effects which are considered an "addiction" in the game's files and then flagging ones which can't be cured by a doctor as exempt) and to edit that script directly would cause incompatibilities. Bathtub Addictol is your only hope.

Do I plan to add more? Probably. Truth be told I love New Vegas so much that I will, in all likelihood, continue to update this. Additionally, I will consider working on more complex mods in the future, now that I've begun to get my feet wet with scripting.

This little bastard has dared to tramp
