📋 About This Mod

Hi,

/!\ This file contains mature content!

First, you should know that this file contains ideas and attitudes which may offend.

Vanessa is a woman living in a harsh world, she's free: she loves food, booze, sex, and can be quite vulgar at times. She loves literature and will quote some books without warning.

So if you think this mod is not for you, please, pass on it :)

Vanessa is a standalone follower.

She is in the Prospector Saloon, Goodsprings.

If you don't want to read all of the description,

I understand, but, please, read at least the orange lines.

Tip from a lazy girl ;)

But, if you have an issue, READ it entirely!!!

I didn't spent an hour writing this just to decorate the page.

Her body and outfits are Type 6 body by Izumiko.

She follows the player everywhere as long as she finds a navmesh: in mods, in DLC, in all the L38.

Description

-She comes with over 1200 lines of dialogue, lips synchronized. Thx to the talented DesertRose2281,Vanessa's voice actress!

-Vanessa explains almost everything when you hire her. But talk to her often, and make sure to search through her dialogue options and inventory: some new dialogue lines or/and new items appear every time you finish a stage of her quests.

Physically:

-Her body is a T6 by Izumiko.

-She has her own assets. She comes into your game as she is in the pics.

-She has lot of new outfits .. but mostly non playable ... - I'm sorry for that but if you want to wear the same outfits than Vanessa, please download & endorse Izumiko's mods ;)

-4 playable outfits for female only. These I specially customized for Vanessa.

-Some playable jewels female/male.

-Fully functional Wheel.

-A lot of functions & dialogue options:

-She smokes or not

-Medic option (She has medicine skills and can heal you, but only after completing a part of her main quest)

-Essential or not (She can die or not)

-Friendly fire or not (this means you can shoot at her, she will just yell at you instead of try to kill you)

-Home option (You can give her a house marker to send her to wait. (her default house is the Prospector Saloon, she will "relax")
