📋 About This Mod

If my mods ever made you enjoy your game a bit more than usual, consider buying me a coffee.

What is this?
This mod is a plugin replacer for the well known NPC Overhaul mod by dragbody.

While all his NPC overhauls are of unparalelled quality, the .esp plugins that are included in these mods are often cluttered with unnecessary stuff, balance changes to armor rating or NPC stats or even world edits that may conflict with other mods. And they're also few years old and not patched with YUP changes.

If all you want from these mods are visual changes for NPCs and nothing else, you may find this mod suitable.

What I did was:

1. Forwarded Yukichigai Unofficial Patch changes.

2. Removed Christine entirely from the mod, because she's bugged. She works fine when she's in her default outfit, but during the plot of Dead Money DLC she changes her clothes to the Sierra Madre Guard uniform and this is where her appearance bugs out, because her eyes model is included in the default outfit. Dragbody never created a custom version of the Sierra Madre Guard uniform for her, so she will have no eyes. I can't fix this.

3. The custom races that the overhauled NPCs use will no longer show in your character creation menu (and crash your game when you try to select them).

4. Rebalanced the stats of new armors that the overhauled NPCs wear to match whatever they wear in vanilla. Greatly decreased the value of the Mojave Express outfit that you can loot from Daniel Wyand's body in Primm because it was set to 6500 caps which breaks the economy early on. Now it's only worth 150 caps.

5. Stuff like eyes or hair no longer give any damage resistance (lol).

INSTALLATION:

1. Download and install the original mod by dragbody. It's hosted on the GUNetwork forum, you won't find it on nexus as dragbody never published his NPC Overhauls here.

2. Install my mod and let it overwrite the original .esp from dragbody's mod.
