📋 About This Mod
New Vegas Uncut 6: If It Wasn't For Betsy
If It Wasn't For Betsy is the sixth in a series of mods restoring cut content back to Fallout New Vegas. This mod restores the cut companion Betsy the brahmin, as well as her related quest. It also enables two previously disabled NPCs. Following a beta version of the game being found, it's now possible to restore what Obsidian originally intended for the quest, along with the original dialogue.
Note this new mod version is intended to replace the original one. It's not an update as such, but really a new mod. The original dialogue etc I wrote is gone. If you would like an updated version of the original mod, I highly recommend 'If It Wasn't For Betsy Remastered' by MrLexx2k, which fixed the stupid bugs around companion control and has some nice extra features.
Betsy is a non-humanoid companion who is unique in that she cannot enter combat. If the player does get into a fight she will simply run away until the danger is over. What makes her useful then, is her ability to carry vast numbers of items, the equivalent of two or more regular companion's worth. She is therefore a useful companion for packrat style players who like to take a lot of gear with them. She also grants the player a new perk entitled 'Trade Prices' that will give players a wholesale price discount of 10% when dealing with merchants.
Betsy can be found in her pen outside Freeside's North gate.
I didn't bother putting in a specific Freeside Open version, just use this one, stand by the dumpster opposite Genaro and enter in the console:
