📋 About This Mod
This is a very simple mod that removes the explosive collar in the Dead Money DLC. I had this problem after I finished it and a couple of other people have had the same problem as well. I\'m a TRUE amateur, i just uploaded this because this website and the modders here are GREAT! and have made my New Vegas experience Unbelievable. If there are any problems please let me know. I recommend this to people WHO HAVE ALREADY BEATEN DEAD MONEY, but have a glitch that keeps the collar on them after they\'ve left Sierra Madre. Update It no longer says Mercenary pack required to use it. I forgot the disable all the addon packs in the GECK.
