📋 About This Mod
I've been using this fun mod that stops companions auto-healing after combat and finally had a reason to notice Boone and Veronica don't react to being stimmed. I already knew they had lines for having a doctors bag used on them that you never hear in the game. So I spent 5 hours looking for an elegant solution to this issue and gave up. This mod just copies some vanilla lines across.
Veronica had no Regenerating lines. Adds:
-
[]"That's better. Maybe I should've been a surgeon." (UsedDoctorBag)
[
]"I've had worse." (CombatToNormal)Boone had no Regenerating lines. Adds:
-
[]"I'm fine now." (UsedDoctorBag)
[
]"Patched up. Let's get back to the fight." (UsedDoctorBag)Arcade had 2 Regenerating lines. Adds:
-
[]"Will the medical wonders of the post-apocalyptic world never cease?" (UsedDoctorBag)
[
]"Good as new." (UsedDoctorBag)Cass had 5(!) Regenerating lines. Adds:
- "Didn't even leave a scar." (UsedDoctorBag)
I copied the .lip lines, too, though I don't think they're used. But maybe you have a mod that changes that.
This mod really doesn't need images, but considering it's mandatory nowadays, I uploaded some thrilling subtitle action. And I guess you can see this Vault Girl replacer. :)

This mod adds more vanilla dialogue lines to Arcade, Boone, Cass, and Veronica's 'regenerating' topic when you use stimpaks on them. Boone and Veronica previously had no lines for this situation. A small but useful addition for Fallout: New Vegas players who want more companion reactivity.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap: Boone and Veronica were silent when you healed them, now they react
- Uses vanilla lines, so it fits seamlessly with the game's tone
- Small file, easy to install, no compatibility nightmares
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects four companions—if you play with other followers, this mod does nothing for you
- No new dialogue, just reuses existing lines, so don't expect fresh content
- Last updated in March 2024—might not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods that alter companion dialogue
For Fallout: New Vegas players who use Arcade, Boone, Cass, or Veronica as companions and want them to acknowledge when you patch them up. Skip if you don't care about companion chatter or if you use mods that overhaul companion dialogue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that change companion dialogue to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM, just drag and drop—no manual extraction needed.
- Test with each companion by using a stimpak on them in combat to hear the new lines.
