✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just the rename
- Community-approved with 156 endorsements and over 11k downloads
- Lightweight scriptrunner mod that won't impact performance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—may have compatibility issues with newer mod setups
- Only affects names, so if you're looking for gameplay changes, this isn't it
For Fallout: New Vegas players who are sticklers for biological accuracy and want the game to correctly call venom 'venom' instead of 'poison.' Skip if you want gameplay tweaks—this is purely a cosmetic text change.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a scriptrunner mod, make sure you have the Script Extender (NVSE) installed, as it's required for scriptrunner mods to work.
- Place the mod files directly into your Data folder, then activate it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just install it like any other mod—no special load order needed.
