This mod is now deprecated by the new mod, "A Crime Against Nature", which includes the entire Dark Craving package as one component among many.
Dark Craving
A Fallout New Vegas implementation of the "Dark Craving" gameplay mechanic introduced in Fallout 4.
Makes cannibalism into an addiction, causing a rejection of the healing and hunger-quelling properties of non-cannibalistic foods.
Background: I had actually always intended to write this mod the next time I returned to New Vegas. It was a surprise when Bethesda beat me to it. Their implementation of the idea is a bit different from what I had in mind, but nonetheless this mod's details are based on how the effect works in Fallout 4.
Details: When you eat a corpse, you succumb to Dark Craving. From that moment on, the only foods which heal or provide relief from hunger are the cannibalistic sort. This effect can be cured with a visit to the New Vegas Medical Clinic, if you choose.
Why? I shouldn't have to answer. Bethesda knew what they were doing when they added it to their "survival" mode in Fallout 4. A challenge is fun. Roleplaying is fun. Playing by official rules (Bethesda's rules), rather than debatable ideas a mod creator invented, is a much more legitimate experience.
Notes:
The "Incurable Edition"
This is an alternative, personalized version of the Dark Craving mod which has two differences:
Concerned? You don't even get access to cannibalism until level 4, right? And what about Dead Money? There'll be nothing to eat there!
I speak from experience: It can be a challenge, but it is perfectly doable. That's the point, of course - the same point behind this effect's inclusion in Fallout 4's "survival" mode: To make cannibalism enhance the challenge.

Notes:
- Hardcore Mode is not required. Just want to roleplay as someone who can't eat normal food? This mod will legitimize it.
- There are no ravenous hunger or other extra side-effects from having Dark Craving. But if you don't eat the correct foods, you will slowly starve.
- Should be compatible with other cannibal mods.
- Should be compatible with Tale of Two Wastelands.
The "Incurable Edition"
This is an alternative, personalized version of the Dark Craving mod which has two differences:
- There is no cure.
- The craving takes place immediately, as in the Courier has always had it.
Concerned? You don't even get access to cannibalism until level 4, right? And what about Dead Money? There'll be nothing to eat there!

- Incurable Edition: When beginning the game, the perk will no longer interrupt the opening conversation with Doc Mitchell.
