📋 About This Mod
Description
Just made a great mod to work without a need for an ESP file via JIP Script Runner. All credits and DP goes to jazzisparis.
Thanks ItsMeJesusHChrist for the source icon.
Original description
I was generally quite pleased with how Bethesda implemented the crafting system for Fallout: New Vegas. However, there were several "features" of the crafting interface (Recipe Menu) that made it tedious, and at times frustrating to use, namely:
-
[]Being limited to crafting a maximum of 100 items of a given recipe at a time, despite having the required components for much more.
[
]The menu would automatically close down every time an item was crafted, requiring you to keep re-opening it if you were not done.[]When using a mouse, you would first need to highlight the recipe on the left side, then carefully move the cursor over to the opposite end, for the 'Accept' button, sometimes while accidentally highlighting another recipe.
-
[]You can craft as many items as you can (have the components for) of a recipe, all in one single batch.
[]You can keep crafting, uninterrupted; the menu will remain open until you select to close it.
[]When using a mouse, you can simply click on a recipe directly from the list to select it. There is no need to also click 'Accept'.
- No corner-message spam when closing the menu.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 6,160 endorsements and 1.2M downloads show it's a go-to for UI improvements.
- ESPless design means no plugin slot wasted—perfect for mod lists already at the limit.
- Directly addresses crafting tedium, a common pain point for FNV players who make lots of items.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022—might not be tested with the latest game patches or mods.
- As a UI overhaul, it won't add new recipes or items—just changes how you interact with the menu.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who craft frequently and want a smoother, less clunky menu. Also great for modders with full load orders who need to save plugin slots. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla crafting interface or rarely craft.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no need to worry about load order.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, enable the mod and make sure it's not overwritten by other UI mods.
- Test the crafting menu at a workbench or campfire to see the improvements right away.
