📋 About This Mod
Description This mod won't let you use weapons if you don't meet minimal skill and\or strength requirements. It's a simple mod made by request during coffee break.
Details Each time you try to equip certain weapon, and you don't meet its minimal strength or skill requirement - that weapon will be immediately unequipped. Immersive message will tell you why exactly you cannot use that weapon. You can use various items, chems, and food to boost your skills and strength.
Usage Just install and play the game. Adds some difficulty on lower levels.
Requirements Latest NVSE (beta version 5. 0b3)
Additional info I will not support this mod in any way. If there are people who want to improve it in some way - PM me, and I will give you the rights to edit this page.
Installation Install required mods first. They are essential and without them – this mod will not work. "Weapon requirements matter" mod installs like any other mod, manually or using a mod manager. I recommend the latter for easy uninstallation.
Un-installation Same as installation, in reverse.
Credits Obsidian for Fallout New Vegas NVSE for all the good stuff CroftMG for the idea & request
