Willow Misc Changes

Update - 8/2/2022

For the first time since I started modding this game in 2016, I finally managed to complete the whole game without it just utterly breaking and becoming unplayable. Frankly I'm still a little stunned that I even got this far. However, since my 120 hours of playtime have come to an end, so will the development of Willow Misc Changes be stalled, likely until I decide to come back and tackle TTW. However, be happy to know that apart from some minor things, I've done basically everything I wanted to do for Willow and I'm content with the current state of this mod.

I will still maintain it and correct bugs as they're reported to me, but don't expect anything further than that for a while. Thanks everyone!

Willow is my favorite New Vegas follower mod but I've always noticed a variety of little bugs and things that could be changed. I started working on this for my personal use but decided to contact LlamaRCA for permissions to upload and was happily granted them.

Please keep in mind that apart from fixing some things and general script updates, this mod is geared towards making Willow more compatible with JIP CC&C too.

Also if you know of any bugs in the original Willow, kindly direct me at them and I'll give them a look. My aim with this mod is to get Willow as perfected as I'm able.

Changes

Many of the scripts were updated or completely rewritten with new functions and standards that have come available over the years in order to make her scripts more maintainable and optimized.

Willow's outfit system was rewritten.

• []Willow's outfit dialog was fixed so you can now ask her to remove her current outfit which effectively returns her to her default outfit, aka, no outfit.

  []Reworked the permanent items system for outfits. It works more intuitively now by allowing you to add items that willow will always use with only her functional outfits, not occasional outfits. These items are then immediately returned to her but fetched once again if Willow is holding them when you decide to edit her permanent items selection.

  Reworked Willow's weapon and outfit management.

  []Normally Willow would always keep her rifle equipped regardless of what you did. Only removing her rifle from her would resolve that. Willow no longer insists upon using only her weapon.

  []Willow normally unequipped her weapon and backpack during certain actions. Willow now does that with whatever backpack or gun she has equipped, she'll also reequip when appropriate.

  [*]Willow no longer auto-equips her rifle. This is done to allow JIP CC&Cs inventory controls do their thing. She'll still pick the best weapon appropriate for her combat mode when her hands are empty and a fight breaks out tho
