📋 About This Mod
This is a complete overhaul of the Spice of Life plugin. Nearly all new items have been renamed, given vanilla-esque Editor IDs, condition lists, custom balanced effects, new repair lists, new stats, and all integrations are done via script, for complete compatibility. The goal is Vanilla+ here, and to make everything feel natural and not out of place.
Since all of the editor IDs have been changed, pretty much any patch that requires the original plugin will not be compatible. Mesh changes which don't use an esp are fine.
All of the renaming has been in effort to match vanilla conventions and generally maintain simplicity. Items which didn't look amazing, or didn't quite line up with body geometry correctly have been cut. All armors have had their editor IDs adjusted for simplicity of interacting with this file. All items have their own condition lists, and they've been integrated to locations that make sense. They'll overall show up less often than they did in the original plugin.
I regret to say it, but this mod has received it's final update in this format. Due to the nature of TTW's changes to item values, it's an enormous pain to version for both TTW and NV versions of armor, weapon, and ingestible mods. The extra work required now is prohibitive to my productivity.
This version will stay up indefinitely, for NV and 3. 2. 2 users, who it should continue to work for reliably.
I will be including this in STAR TTW (Sweet's Total Armor Redux) for 3. 3 forward.
A moderate amount of DR has been added to pretty much every outfit, in relation to each's DT.
The direct edits on entries on the head wraps and bandanas to fix their biped flags have been left intact. The Authority Glasses also have a direct entry, to normalize their daytime speech bonus with the aviators. Place this plugin lowest in your mod order to ensure consistency.
The confederate headwrap has been replaced completely. It's now an Independent Vegas headwrap, featuring the headwrap from Spice of Life Confederate Headwrap Replacer. As a bonus, the Southwest Commonwealth and Nevada headwraps are added as additional, integrated headwear.
The trans and non-binary ones are available too, but since they're not super lore friendly, I just made a little config ini to have the mod give you one, once, at startup, if turned on.
Neither of them is added to the headwrap repair list, so you won't accidentally repair something else with them. I'll add an option that you can turn on to give you one freely at any time, if requested.
A patch to remove DR additions is now available. This patch simply unilaterally removes every item's DR. DR was an important factor in how some of these items were balanced, so this patch will result in a less balanced e
