About this mod

Reduces the weight of the food sanitizer to 0.5 lbs and actually makes it work! Now compatible with Pintocat\'s Inventory Sorters.

Permissions and credits
Have you ever seen a 7 lbs keychain? You might if you play New Vegas without this mod which changes the weight of the food santizer to 0.5 lbs.

What started out as a rather simple weight reduction of the food sanitizer has become a bit more. I compared the sanitizer from New Vegas to that of Fallout 3 and noticed most ingestibles lacked an extra entry which checks if the sanitizer is in your inventory. I took up the tedious chore of adding the extra line to ingestibles that restore health. While doing so, I also moved some food items from the big guns category (what gives Obsidian?) to, you guessed it, food. Also I changed the existing checks from == 1 to >= 1 which means you can now carry more than 1 food sanitizer without losing its effect. Please note that carrying 2 or more sanitizers won't make the effects stronger. As of v2.5 the food sanitizer works on all health restoring ingestibles. (Yeah, I forgot a few in v2, so sue me) Also I've made a version that's compatible with Pintocat's Inventory Sorters. All ingestibles have been given the prefix FOOD: and ingredients used in recipies have had a + added after their names.

Thanks go to to JustinOther who made the weight reduction for FO3. I even stole his screenshot. Thanks also go to Pintocat, her/his sorter has been used to see which items I've missed in v2.

Disclaimer: This mod is provided as is. I've been playing with it for some time now and I can tell you it makes having the sanitizer in your inventory very worthwhile. It gives food that much of an extra kick that I decided against having it remove rads from food as well. That would put the food sanitizer in the cheats and god items category and that's not the way I play. If you want it to remove rads nontheless, feel free to edit this file yourself. If you upload it to NVNexus, let me know and I will include a link to your file here.

All added extra healing entries are the same as in FO3. (1 for food, 2 for drinks and a bit more for rare or strong food like Mirelurk meat.) Feedback is welcomed. Thanks to evanbgood for taking the time to explain how I could use a list to make the sanitizer do what it does. I've decided to keep it the way it is though. Call me lazy ( I am!) but I believe in the concept of KISS. ;)

Enjoy! And please feel free to improve or edit this file. If you choose to redistribute it, I'd like a little credit though.
