This mod replaces the MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) food item found in the Lonesome Road DLC with the MCI (Meal Combat Individual)

THIS MOD REQUIRES LONESOME ROAD TO FUNCTION.

To install place the .esp file, meshes and texture folders in your Fallout New Vegas data folder.

Now when you find an MCI, you will see that it is now a box.
Trying to eat it will instead yield its contents. You will get a random M,B,D and spread can. You will also get an accessory bag every time.
There are 43 menu items total. The contents of an MCI eaten together should yield about the same nutrition as a vanilla MRE.
Crafting with an accessory bag by a cooking fire will get you some coffee and cigarettes.
If you just want to eat the MCI whole, craft at a cooking fire to yield a heated MCI that you can just eat.

I created this mod because I felt the MRE did not fit well in the fallout universe. They just seemed too new to me.
Just wanted to share the work in case anyone else felt the same way.

To uninstall delete the .esp file and remove the MCI folders from your meshes and textures folder.

I experimented with a wasteland non DLC MCI file, but I had some trouble getting them to show up in loot with a script. So I am not sure If I will be able to make a working non DLC version.

If you want to use something from this mod, just let me know.
