WARNING: Requires Old World Blues DLC

Bug 1 - Non Restocking Vendor

Ordinarily the Sink Vendor will respawn every 3 days BUT you

must be outside the game cell where the vendor is. Since its

effectively your apartment this NEVER happens.

This is a quick fix it adds a quest script that will trigger

every 3 days resetting the vendor containers so it gets new

stock and removing all items you've sold. As well as removing

all vendor money and replacing it with 16,000 caps as intended.

The script will trigger immediately upon activating the mod and

then every 3 days providing at least 60 seconds have passed in

the game. So if you wait 3 days in front of the vendor so it

restocks you'll have to wait 60 seconds of real time for the

script to kick in.

Bug 2 - Non Respawning Garden

Apparently the sink garden does not respawn correctly either since

it follows the same cell reset rules as the Sink Vendor. I've

written a script that will reset plants every day so they look

ready to be harvested and can be. As with the Vendor bug the

script will only trigger every 60 seconds of real time.

NOTE: The Pinto beans looks are FUBARED that's the best way i can

put it. They will be harvestable but due to being fubared they

will always look empty.

You see plants have two states empty and ready to harvest. Each

plant upon harvesting is told to cycle the plant animation making

it look empty. When the cell resets its told to cycle it again

to look full. The pinto beans regardless if you tell them to

cycle forwards or backwards refuse to change from looking empty.

I copied a part of the scripting from the original harvesting

scripts for this fix so for the pinto beans to not work would

mean that its probably not just the ones in your garden that

have broken looks.

Bug 3 - Low Dehydration Sink

Normally sinks restore 200 dehydration when you use them. This

is also true for the sink in the apartment but unfortunately if

you use the dialog option to select a drink rather than the menu

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
