📋 About This Mod

My other mods: The Backpack Mass Recalibration Wasteland Gourmet The Metatron Katana Sheath Remover Nav Beacons Bury Your Treasure RealSmokes - Functional lighters, cigarettes, cigars, and cigarillos. REQUIRES NVSE!!!!! Introduction ------------- Ever noticed that the Wasteland is littered with cigarettes and populated with people who smoke them, yet YOU are denied your own calming smoke? The vanilla cigarettes are no more or less useful than paperweights. Drugs and junkies are everywhere, and the player has always had the option of using, and becoming addicted to, everything drug imaginable but cigarettes have always been off limits. Not anymore! RealSmokes fixes this oversight by adding a cigarette lighter to the game, as well as cigars and cigarillos. Each smoke has different effects, both positive and negative, and can cause addiction and withdrawal. Acquiring Smokes and Lighters ------------------------------ The smokes and lighter have been added to the bottlecap leveled drop lists. This means that anywhere that you would potentially find a random number of bottlecaps (bodies, containers, EVERYWHERE) you have a chance to find a smoke. They will also show up randomly in the inventories of merchants. There are a few merchants, such as the Tops Casino bartender, who will always have a large stock of smokes and lighters. In addition to this any of the normal packs, cartons, or individual cigarettes that you find in the vanilla game can now be smoked. How to Smoke ------------ The lighter is a weapon, and has two functions: lighting smokes, and opening packs and cartons. If you equip and \"fire\" the lighter while you have either a pack, carton, individual cigarette, cigar, or cigarillo in your inventory you will be presented with a menu. The menu will have one or both of these options, dependent on what items you posses at the time: 1. Light a Smoke 2. Open Pack/Carton Opening a carton will give you 10 packs. Opening a pack will give you 20 cigarettes. If you choose \"Light a Smoke\" you will be presented with a second menu, with the options shown dependent again on current inventory: 1. Light a cigarette 2. Light a cigar 3. Light a cigarillo Selecting one of these will remove the appropriate MISC item from your intentory, replace it with a wearable version, and automatically equip it. The wearable versions will be called \"Lit Cigarette\" etc. The condition of the lit smokes will deteriorate rapidly while worn, simulating burning up. When their condition is low enough they will automatically unequip and be deleted from inventory. You may equip and unequip a lit smoke as you please, simulating the extinguishing and re-lighting a smoke. Each wearable \"Lit\" smoke has a different duration and effects that will be applied while it is equipped. The burn times are in real time seconds, not dependent on timescale. The stats are: Cigarette: burn time 60 seconds, Luck +1,
