[size=20]Water Improved[/size]

====================================================================================================================================



1. I missed the water function of fallout 3. I missed the immediate buff water would give and not the healing over time Fallout New Vegas offered. So I set off to fix it. I developed a mod with three options for changes. Changes to make a more fallout 3 like world, or a world where water rules all. There are three files for you to choose from the installer; a file that leaves vanilla healing yet offers that healing instantly, a file that offers vanilla healing with the instant buff along with the perk edit I made, or a file that doubles vanilla healing and has the perk edit. I also made some changes to Radiation amounts of water.



2. A pocket full of joy, a small pizza ready for consumption a long with a drink of choice; and Fallout New Vegas. (No DLC's or NVSE required)



3. Fallout New Vegas previously had water replenish 2hp for 5 seconds. So a total of 10hp. I instead wanted to give 20hp instantly like in Fallout 3. So I made the edits to the effects and scripts and didn't take one thing in to account, the survival skill in New Vegas!! 20hp is restored by a bottle of water or any water source if your survival skill is at 0, at level 100 you replenish 60hp!! I thought that a bit overpowered so i set out to change the vale to 10hp for an instant buff at survival level 0, so at 100 you replenished 30hp (much more reasonable). I then though to myself that the "Camel Of The Mojave" perk is useless outside of Hardcore Mode. So I made a small edit to the effects of water and made it so that if you have the "Camel Of The Mojave" perk, then you would receive a bonus 5hp from all water sources that would scale with the 10 i changed it to. I then thought, "Maybe someone won't want the perk, or maybe somone will, or maybe someone will still want me to post the 20hp/Perk file." It was at that point I made an installer so you could choose one of 5 files, 5hp Instant Buff, 5hp Instant Buff + The Perk, 10hp Instant Buff, 10hp Instant Buff + The Perk, and 20hp Instant Buff + The Perk. In all the files RAD amounts have been changed as well.

The new rad amounts are in the chart that follows.



So as you can see with my mod installed water can do much more healing, and the effects are immediate giving you what could be a possible tactical advantage over enemies and a quick way to heal if you're a survivalist; but the penalties are slightly higher than if you would be playing vanilla. The changes in RAD's aren't drastic, but enough that drinking from a water source that is terrible could potentially sicken you more quickly.


Just download with the Nexus Mod Manager and then install the mod, you will only be able to install one of the plugins from the install menu, select the plugin and options you wish to play with and hit install.
