📋 About This Mod
Flashbang Tutorial RemoverNOTE: this is included in Unofficial Patch NVSE Plus.
The Flash Bang grenades added in Lonesome Road carry a script whose only purpose is to trigger a message informing you of their capabilities.
Giving such a generic object a script carries the risk of performance problems when several copies of them are present, similar to the issue plaguing scripted ammo. Admittedly Flash Bangs are heavier and more difficult to amass in such quantities, but for veteran players, the script serves no real purpose (if you didn't know about flash bangs, sorry for the spoilers I guess).
This mod removes the script from them, but sets up a one time handler for them to still set up the variable change that their acquisition triggers, just in case. It can still provide benefit even if you had already triggered the tutorial message, again because it removes their useless script from them.
This tiny performance mod removes the tutorial script from Lonesome Road's Flashbangs, which can help inventory performance if you carry hundreds of them. It's a simple, focused fix for Fallout: New Vegas players who want smoother inventory management.

- Directly addresses a specific annoyance for players who hoard flashbangs.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without extra bloat.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just drop the mod in and enable it—no extra steps needed.
- Make sure you have the Lonesome Road DLC installed, or the mod won't have anything to affect.
- If you're not sure whether the mod is working, load a save where you have flashbangs and check if the tutorial message no longer appears.
