📋 About This Mod
Adds damage type icons beside weapon damage in the Pip-Boy, Container, Barter, Recipe and Weapon Mod menus.
Damage Type Icons (ESPless) adds icon indicators next to weapon damage values in Fallout New Vegas' Pip-Boy, Container, Barter, Recipe, and Weapon Mod menus. It covers all eight damage types—Ballistic, Fire, Energy, Electric, Poison, Radiation, Cryo, EMP—so players can see at a glance which resistances apply. Requires three NVSE plugins and a compatible UI overhaul; includes optional colored icons.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Covers all eight damage types, so you always know which resistances matter.
- Works across five different menus, not just the Pip-Boy.
- Solid community backing — 50 endorsements and 1,001 downloads, updated August 2026.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires three separate NVSE plugins (JIP LN, xNVSE, JohnnyGuitar) plus a UI overhaul, so setup is more involved than a simple icon swap.
- ESPless means no load order slot, but if you use a UI mod outside the three supported, there's no guarantee it will work.
- Base mod only includes default icons; colored versions are separate downloads, so you'll need to grab extras if you want color.
For Fallout New Vegas players who already run NVSE plugins and a supported UI mod, and want instant visual info on damage types without opening wiki pages. Good for anyone using Vanilla UI Plus, Vanilla UI Extension, or DarNified UI who wants a cleaner inventory screen. Skip if you're not comfortable installing script extenders and UI overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install xNVSE, JIP LN NVSE, and JohnnyGuitar NVSE before installing this mod; without them the icons won't appear.
- Pick one supported UI mod — Vanilla UI Plus, Vanilla UI Extension, or DarNified UI — and make sure it loads before this mod's files if using a mod manager.
- The colored icon downloads are optional; grab them only if you use Colorful Icons Support, otherwise stick with the default monochrome icons.
