📋 About This Mod
ESPLESS
This mostly invalidates the below mods, saving you a plugin slot for each one you were using (uninstall/disable them obviously):
-
[]Veronica can wear Vera's outfit
[
]Veronica wears dresses[]Veronica no hood
Note: you'll need a mod that adds Vera's dress to her quest script for it to count towards her unmarked quest. TTW, Essential Vanilla Enhancements Merged, and Veronica Loves Veras Outfit all include said fix* If you want Veronica to not be wearing her hood before she becomes your companion you can keep using Veronica no hood, but I think it makes sense that she'd wear it til she has someone watching her back. You'll still have to deal with YUP / TTW / Character Expansions Revised / etc. conflicts if you do keep using it since it directly edits her record

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective—no more dealing with Veronica's default gear blocking better armor
- ESP-less means it won't clutter your load order or conflict with other mods
- Recent update (Sept 2025) shows the author is still maintaining it
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Veronica—if you wanted similar fixes for other companions, this won't help
- Requires a script, so it's not a pure inventory edit—might have minor script overhead
- No detailed instructions or troubleshooting provided by the author
For Fallout: New Vegas players who like to customize their companions' gear and are tired of Veronica's hood and robe overriding their choices. Also great for roleplayers who want Veronica to wear faction armor or stylish outfits. Skip if you're fine with her default look or don't use Veronica as a companion.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESP-less, just drop the file into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager—no plugin order worries.
- Make sure you have the latest version of New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) installed, as many script mods rely on it.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, deploy the mod and let it handle the file placement automatically.
