📋 About This Mod
UPDATE: Check sticky post for context if you're a returning user.
So my current setup is having a few quirks regarding how certain stuff are sorted using ySI - Sorting Icons and ySI - Categories, and as far as I know in most cases these are not needed, but if your game is bugging out and you want it fixed, then this is the place to get it.
More stuff will probably be added later on as I progress through my own game and finding out which items are having issues with being sorted. But feel free to request certain items.
>Made with TTW in mind but should work with just FNV as well, bar the A3-21's Plasma Rifle, Wazer Wifle, Tesla Cannon and the Scoped . 44 Magnums (They're all FO3 weapons, FO3 only has one Tesla Cannon as far as I know, so its entry sits within the same file as NV's Tesla Cannons), The 12. 7mm Pistol and the Fire Axe would also need editing, in which case you need to edit the "TaleofTwoWastelands.esm" to "FalloutNV.esm" in the .json file.
OPTIONAL MODS THAT ARE CURRENTLY COVERED:
- Food and Crafting Economy TTW (Only the Yao Guai Steak)
- Hit - Drugs (Craghash and Addictol)
- Nuka World Imports (both the vanilla and Nuka Cola World version)
- Custom Health and AP Visuals (For the optional drug Oxygen and Oxygen Remedy)
- TTW Cooking Revolution (At this point it might as well be an official ySI patch for the mod)
- Universal Water Bottling (For the Unclean Water consumable, if you use that I guess)
- Malorian Arms 3516 - The King's Rebel Path (Can we get 5 Big BOOMS?)
- Retrievable Throwables Reforged (Correct icons for the Stuck items you find in bodies)
- The Courier (Correct icon for the helmet to use the medium armor icon for consistency with the body armor)
- Classic Combat Armor Replacer Combined TTW (Rivet City Combat Helmet icons changed to light armor and not headwear)
- Goodies (Security Helmet icon changed to light armor and not headwear)
- Immersive Vault 101 Canteen and Immersive Vault-Tec Lunchbox (Items are marked as Special, covered within a single file, and honestly you should get both anyway)
- TTW Keepsakes (All items marked as Special)
If I've overlooked something or it's not working please let me know, but I'm confident that I've done it correctly.
