📋 About This Mod

It alters 2 scripts, the collar explosion script and poison cloud damage script in Dead Money.esm

The collar alarm will tick until it is near the explosion point, and then it will be disabled instead of blowing up.

For the poison cloud part, player will see the poison cloud imagemultiplyer effect, but no health damage penalty will be applied.

If you need any help:

** June 1st, 2011: I released a new mod "Skip DLC - Dead Money" which will let you skip the entire Dead Money main quests. This is how much I hate Dead Money DLC.
