✨ Key Features

Adds a lore-friendly stat boost to the Medicine Stick

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tiny but dedicated following (43 endorsements) — players who want it, really want it
  • Lore-friendly approach means it won't break immersion for roleplayers
  • Vanilla Plus philosophy keeps the change subtle, not a game-breaking overhaul

⚠️ Cons

  • No specific stat numbers provided — you're flying blind on what exactly gets boosted
  • Only 43 endorsements, so it's not a widely tested or community-vetted mod
  • Last updated April 2025 — might not be compatible with future game patches
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who love the Medicine Stick but wish it hit harder or felt more special. If you're a purist who wants a slight edge without overhauling the whole game, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a major rebalance or new mechanics — this is a tweak, not a transformation.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is a simple stat tweak, make sure you have the base game and any DLC that adds the Medicine Stick (Honest Hearts) installed before adding this mod.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of this mod and avoid conflicts with other weapon balance mods.
  • If you're on PC, check the mod's comments section for any reported issues with other popular overhauls like JSawyer or Vicious Wastes.
