📋 About This Mod
Adds in Brahmin, Mole Rat, Yao Guai, and Deathclaw hides, as well as recipes for tanning them. Also includes recipes for tanning Dog and Coyote hides, as well as a perk that offers an alternative recipe for tanning hides, that doesn't
Optional NON-TTW Download available!
TTW Version allows for use of Point Lookout yeast instead of NV yeast.
When I released my last armor mod, Armored Vault Suits, one of the things people noted
was that, due to my use of tanned Gecko Hide in my recipes, it was nearly impossible to craft
my new armors.
While I had suggested people also use Mojave Imports (Campfire) by Phpones, I felt
a soft requirement on another modder's work was a bit of a band-aid than a solution.
TTW - Hides and Tanning looks to solve this issue by including additional hides obtainable
through everyday hunting in D. C., in the form of:
Mole Rat Hides
Brahmin Hides
Yao Guai Hides
Deathclaw Hides
These can all be tanned or made into belts.
In addition to those 4 new hides and their tanned variants, I've included the ability
to tan the already available Dog and Coyote hides.
This allows the player 5 D. C. friendly methods of obtaining tanned hide.
Also included in this mod is a new perk
"Wasteland Tanning"
Wasteland Tanning allows the player to craft tanned hides with an alternative recipe/tanning method
to using Turpentine and White Horsenettle Berries. Wasteland Tanning requires:
Purified Water
Sugar Bombs
A Fission Battery
This is based on an alternative method of tanning I found on WikiHow, though slightly altered as not all the items
were available in New Vegas or TTW, such as Bran Flakes or Baking Powder, which have been substituted.
While I have no idea if that method would actually work, it's good enough for me to make a mod based on.
Optional requirement for Armored Vault Suits, allowing it to be crafted
with D. C. obtainable tanned hide instead of Tanned Gecko Hide.
Optional requirement for TTW - Vault Legend Outfit, allowing it to be crafted
with D. C. obtainable tanned hide instead of Raw Dog Hide.
