Features/Content in detail:

1. Recruit Dixie as Companion

Dixie is a "full companion", can be commanded, etc. She does not count in the vanilla companion slot though so you can have her as "secondary companion". She's romanceable after the player maxes out her affinity.



*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************





The mod comes with an affinity system. Increasing Dixie's affinity grants rewards. When reaching her "friendship affinity" ("Dixie admires you."), she can deal bleeding damage (for 25 HP) to her enemies in combat. This perk is available as long as you're in good relationship with her. When reaching her "infatuation affinity" ("Dixie idolizes you."), she gives you a unique handmade rifle "Sweet Moka". It weapon comes with the unique weapon mod "Crazy Party" (causes nearby hostile targets to frenzy on bullet impact) which is replacable with the mod "Pick Their Poison!" (every bullet emits toxic gas upon impact).

      - Assaults (attacking non-hostile characters)

Dixie's affinity can change when there are no hostiles nearby to make sure you won't be disrupted (e.g., during you're sneaking up on an enemy). So, if you see one of the affinity change notifications like "Dixie admires you." while being in a hostile/dangerous location, affinity rewards will become available as soon as you reach a safe place.

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

3. Extended Command Interface

Allows you to: 1. Transfer items from her inventory to her Home settlement. 2. Change Home settlement. 3. Start a fist fight. 4. Access her inventory remotely (can be useful if you'd like to change her gear / trade with her in combat). The interface can be turned on/off in the Dixie Companion Holotape.


*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

4. Sweet Moka

A unique Handmade Rifle given by Dixie when you reach her "infatuation" affinity ("Dixie idolizes you."). Comes with the mod "Crazy Party" (see below) which is replaceable with "Pick Their Poison!" (see below). .45 cal and 5.56 cal receivers are available here.


*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

5. Crazy Party

Sweet Moka comes with this unique legendary mod. Every bullet on impact frenzies nearby hostile enemies for 60 seconds. While they're frenzied, they attack anyone (most importantly, each other). Notes: it does not affect the player and non-hostile, friendly characters as that would break vanilla quests. This and the "Pick Their Poison!" weapon mods can be changed at any Weapons Workbench and through the Dixie Companion Holotape (yes, you can switch mods using the holotape).

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

6. Pick Their Poison!

A unique legendary mod that can be attached to Sweet Moka at any Weapon Workbench and through the Dixie Companion Holotape. Every bullet on impact emits toxic gas. Notes: the gas does not affect the player and non-hostile, friendly characters as that would break vanilla quests.



*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

7. Wounding effect

After you reach Dixie's "friendship" affinity ("Dixie admires you."), she can deal 25 points of additional bleeding damage in combat regardless of her weapon (i.e. it does not require knives or legendary weapons) as long as you're in good relationship with her.


*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

8. Wild Night

After waking up next to Dixie, for 8 ingame hours, her kills count as your kills so you'll receive XP for her kills too. This perk is only available if she's romanced.


*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

9. Fist Fight

If you need some action, or she's just pissed you off (e.g., there's a small chance she may amusingly say "Someone's looking glum." after waking up next to her without receiving the "Lover's Embrace" perk...), you can ask her to pick a fist fight with you. Do not start a fight when other NPCs are around because they may leap to your defense and attack her. Dixie likes if you win the fight but dislikes if you interrupt it ("Stop Fight!" activate choice) or loose (she thinks you've just let her win). Don't worry, you can't make her permanently hostile during the fight, everything gets turned back to normal properly once it's over.


*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

10. Dixie Companion Holotape

Settings holotape. It gets added to your inventory silently when you first recruit her as companion. Additional holotapes can be crafted at any Weapons Workbench.

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************


Requirements:

 - Nuka-World DLC
 - Recruit Dixie from Nuka-World (reason: the recruitment quest that makes her a settler and possible companion is in that mod. This mod contains the "companion related" functions only. I wouldn't like to duplicate / integrate Recruit Dixie into this mod. Even though it's a requirement, it doesn't matter where you place it in your load order).


Compatibility:

Since the mod access Dixie's record remotely, it should be compatible with any other mod.
