----___----___----___----___----___----___----___----___----___----___----___----___----___

Intro:


Greetings wanderers! Here's a small but powerful update to Curie,the cool and awkward companion. It includes her own custom unique weapon,
Madame Curie's Rifle. There are many options now, all in the rar file! :) There's 4 "cheat" levels from vanilla to godly, there's options for glowing Synth eyes, and options for the original look plus stats and the unique gun. Total of 12 options now! 

----
Update, Dec7th:
 
Holy mackerel, I've finally gotten all the versions that make sense done. Turns out characters are rather difficult to really edit with the simple FO4Edit, and required lots of testing and going back and forth many saves, particularly back to when she changes bodies. [Now her unique rifle is compatible with "Legendary Modification" by teaLz here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4042/? (not required at all, just a cool mod).]

Description and Processes:


  • Looks: This is the main thing I wanted to do. So now she has a standard ponytail hairdo, with the appropriate forehead, and is in Golden Blonde. The ponytail might not be for everyone but I think it's cool. Eyes are now the nice Blue. There's also versions with Synth eyes now! Note, the Synth eyes don't actually fit perfectly in the human head model (there's a specific Synth head which is smaller) so they can look a little odd sometimes, like sunken. Plus, there's a couple versions with her original looks and brown eyes. (Other mods not required but shown in pics, see bottom list.)

  • Clothes: Some outfit options made her hands disappear lol, and I had initially used Cait's outfit, but that got the gloves stuck on! She comes standard with her jeans and flannel outfit, but added to her inventory are Agatha's Dress and the Feathered Dress. Of course, anything else you find can be equipped, she just comes with a couple pretty options now.  

  • Weapon: A robot should have an energy weapon right?Also, since the real life Madame Curie worked with radioactive elements, it's fitting it would also cause radiation damage! So she has a UNIQUE custom version of the Gauss Rifle, there's differing strengths of this weapon in the .esp's according to cheat level. The highest one is extremely strong, with 360 base dam + 100 rad dam. 

  • [Note: you can get seriously hurt or dead by her weapon, I'd seriously suggest having the perks for no companion damage, or staying upwind of her firing paths! Also, the rad damage does linger for 4 or 5 points for a minute on targets, kinda like the Mini Nukes.

  • [[[IF YOU WANT HER WEAPON: you can take it of course, but also you can open the console and type "help Madame 4" and it will list the item ID# of her weapon in your game. Then use console command "player.additem XXXXXXXX #" where XXXXXXXX is the item ID# from the help search and # is how many you want like 1 or 3 or whatever. In my game the item ID# is 0B00080 but this appears to be affected by your own individual load order.]]]

  • Perks: The vanilla Curie has only two perks, immunity to radiation and poison. I added immunity to fall damage. Previously I had added all Hack perks but she still refuses to hack haha. "Y U do dis Befesda! Curies is robohoe, and good robohoe hacks when dey told to!"

  • Stats: The stats are different in the various versions in the folders. Statsare all either 10 in the Godly, 5 in the medium, or 1 and 0 in the vanilla. These are base stats, but are boosted in game! Her in-game vanilla stats are 5-4-4-4-4-4-4. 

  • Inventory: Her inventory now depends on which .esp you put in. All include the outfits, some or none: stimpaks, caps, ammo.  [As for the Feather Duster, I put that in there as a joke :) She’s always saying how dirty things are and “Here I am with no duster.” So now you can yell at her because she does have a duster.]

  • Other Things: In the vanilla Curie, her mood is set to “normal” and I set it to “Happy” which seems to have her much more talkative.

Installation:

 
1.) Download and unrar somewhere or just openthe rar.
2.) CHOOSE which one you want! Navigate thefolders and READMEs.
3.) Copy the chosen file “Better Curie.esp”into your /Data folder
4.) Ensure your plugins.txt file in/Appdata/Local/Fallout4 contains the line “Better Curie.esp”
5.) Ensure you .ini files have mods enabled!(see Nexus forums, Google, Youtube, everywhere, ect)
6.) Play the game!

Possible VERY Important Step:
7.) If you’ve already gotten Curie her new body, then she might not immediately load up with her new stuff and stats! You’ll have to open the console, click on her to target her and her ID should show up with [PP] on the end, and type “recycleactor” without quotes. She’ll disappear for a moment and reappear in a moment reset with the new stuffs. DOING THIS ALSO RESETS YOUR RELATIONSHIP with her!

So, you’ll have to manually set this with the console. If you know your relationship is maxed out at Lover, then it’s a rank of 4. If you don’t know, then BEFORE you use “recycleactor”, open console and click on her to target her and use the command “getrelationshiprank player” and it will give you a number from 0 to 4. This is the rank of your relationship between you the player and Curie. After using “recycleactor” you’ll use the command “setrelationshiprank player #” where # is whatever you had it or want it to be. 

---- 
Un-installation:

 
1.) Just remove the “Better Curie.esp” file from your /Data folder
2.) On next play, it’ll give you a warning like: ”This save relies on content no longer available” but that’s okay just click continue and play on.
