📋 About This Mod
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.
- [
-
[]When using a mouse, you would first need to highlight the recipe on the left side, then carefully move the cursor over to the the opposite end, for the 'Accept' button - sometimes while accidentally highlighting another recipe.
With this mod:
- [
-
[]You can keep crafting, uninterrupted - the menu will remain open until you select to close it.
- [
-
[]No corner-message spam when closing the menu.
This is a tiny, purely scripted mod. It does not modify any UI files. It should work with any UI style (default-Vanilla, DarnUI, MTUI, etc.) and should not conflict with anything.
Requirements
- [
- JIP LN NVSE Plugin version 54. 80 (or newer).
