FAQ
Is it save game compatible?
This doesn't do anything to saves. Just a behavior change. Feel free to add and remove it as desired.
Will this work with mods that add other weapons?
I've tested with a few item mods, none appear to have any affect. However while my code should accept most it's possible weird valued and new weapon types would require a way to ensure compatibility. None of the most popular seem to have an issue however.
Is this compatible with X mod?
Generally this should be compatible with any mod. I have not tested it on mods that add different weapon types however so issues could arise there.
Additionally there has been a complaint that at large companion counts (like >100) this mod starts to hit crashes. This is not really achievable in the base game, so mods that allow more companion hiring have a minor incompatibility if you hire a ton of companions.
