Companion Sandbox Mode - New Vegas Redesigned 3 - Compatibility Patch *****************************************************************************************
This is a patch for: Companion Sandbox Mode by Povuholo and New Vegas Redesigned 3 by Dracomies and Weijiesen
It was made for my own use but maybe some others are still using Companion Sandbox Menu (for some people it works somehow better than other sandbox mods) and now they should be able to use it with NVR3 together.
Installation: *********
1. If you are able to install New Vegas Redesigned 3 correctly you already know how to do it with this one 2. Have your favourite drink 3. Enjoy the game
Suggested loadorder: ********************
- New Vegas Redesigned 3.esm
- Companion Sandbox Mode.esp
- New Vegas Redesigned 3.esp
- CSM-NVR3-Patch.esp
Information: *************
1. Affected companions are: Boone, Cass, Raul and Veronica. For the others no patch is needed because New Vegas Redesigned 3 is not touching them (yet).
2. Patch was made with New Vegas Redesigned 3 Version 2. 7 but should work with newer versions as long as the companions are not touched again.
3. It may happen the first time you want to let a companion go to idle mode you have to choose the "wait" option from the companion wheel and the companion is going idle immediately. The second time you want to let the companion go to idle mode you have to use the talk option and the related sentence. From then on the "wait" command is just the wait command and the "feel free to relax" sentence is the option for the idle mode. This is not a "problem" of this patch. Same happens with the original mod.
