📋 About This Mod
UPDATE: Added a return option for Cigarettes. The return value is based on the apparent cap value to chip value ratio used for Packs and Cartons, 2:1. ----------- The Sierra Madre Vending Machines are, in a word, awesome. You can exchange chips for a whole host of items, and even return mostly useless apparel for chips through the \'\'Return Outfit Item\'\' code. Win-win, right? Unfortunately, the \'\'Return Outfit Item\'\' code is missing options for a few articles of clothing you can commonly find in the Sierra Madre. Specifically: Dirty Pre-War Businesswear Grimy Pre-War Businesswear Pre-War Baseball Cap Pre-War Bonnet Sexy Sleepwear There are also options to return Packs of Cigarettes and Cartons of Cigarettes, but no option to return the individual Cigarettes found scattered throughout the Sierra Madre (and the Wasteland in general). This mod adds new return options to the Sierra Madre vendors for these items. The exchange rates for returning items are: 2 Cigarettes - 1 Sierra Madre chip Dirty/Grimy Pre-War Businesswear - 2 Sierra Madre chips Pre-War Baseball Cap/Bonnet - 3 Sierra Madre chips Sexy Sleepwear - 4 Sierra Madre chips NOTE I haven\'t classified this mod as a bugfix, although I\'m sort of suspicious that it amounts to one. I have a feeling that one of two things happened when the devs put together this part of Dead Money: 1) They forgot to add these return options 2) They forgot these items appear in the standard \'\'Pre-War Clothing\'\' list Either way, this MIGHT be a bugfix, but for now I\'m going to just call it a mod and leave it at that.
