Description
================================================================
Many of you may remember semi-cosmic, nearly phenominal mod for FO3 entitled EVE:Energy Visuals Enhanced.

- new explosions
- custom HD impacts
- dazzling particles
- static mesh animations

ALSO DOUBLE NOTE: EVE is the coolest mod ever!
Details of Latest Release: v1. 19
================================================================
- Reworked the handling of extra loot items potentially being placed in dying NPC inventory by other mods
- Revised .nif mesh files to resolve an issue that occurred when stealthy Nightkin were set afire with weapons such as a Flamer
This release brought to you by -5/+5 GMT.
Known Issues
===================================================
- The green energy chambers of the Q-35 Matter Modulator do not always show their electrical effect.
- Ash Piles and Goo Piles might fall through ground level; vanilla game engine issue.
- Ash Piles and Goo Piles might become embedded in other things in densely crowded areas; a result of minimizing "fall through".
Known Conflicts
===================================================
- Mods that replace the standard arm mounted Pip-Boy with a handheld device are known to potentially cause issues with other mods, including EVE (our "holographic" iron sights might or might not be visible at times).
Installing/Updating/Installing - Mod Conflicts
================================================================
IMPORTANT! Novac dissapearing is a bug in the vanilla game! Don't blame EVE (or any OTHER mod either foo' ).
NVSE is -NOT- needed! EVE will work 10000% fine
