📋 About This Mod
There is a lot of good stuff lying around in the Mojave, waiting to be picked up. But it is almost always lying in the dark corners, surrounded and covered by tons of junk, making it almost undetectable, so in most cases you just pass by, leaving it lying there unnoticed. This mod gives you a solution for this problem, forcing these little pieces of useful junk to glow, making them quite noticeable.
Q.: What items are covered with this mod?
A.: Chems - buffout, cateye, fixer, hydra, jet, mentats, psycho, rebound, steady, turbo.
Meds - antivenom, doctor's bag, radaway, rad-x, stimpak, superstimpak
Magazines, Skillbooks, Holotapes.
Q.: Is this the final list?
A.: No, it's not. You can freely leave your suggestions in the "POSTS" section and they will be taken into account.
Q.: Something is not right. Can you fix it?
A.: Write about it in the "BUGS" section and I will see what I can do.
Q.: I don't want glowing everything. I just want something in particular.
A.: First of all, the mod is splitted by categories, so you can download, for example, only glowing magazines. If this is not enough, you can always delete unnecessary textures and meshes manually from the manually downloaded package before you install it.
Q.: How does it differ from "Glowing Items"?
A.: You don't need to use any additional gear - neither terminal, nor glasses - just download it, install and enjoy.
Upd. 1. 01: Added ammo of all sorts, glowing green.
Upd. 1. 02: Made Steady and Hydra more noticeable; added Med-X to "Glowing Chems", had to make an .esp file for it because Med-X and empty syringe share the same .nif file, therefore, to make Med-X glow leaving syringes dim, i had to create separate model for Med-X.
12. 03. 2021: I've finally made and uploaded a FOMOD installer gathering all categories under one hood. Now you can simply mark the desired options while installing this mod.
