Description
---------------------

I always thought that hardcore mode was a blessing in New Vegas. Drinking, eating and sleeping... just brilliant. But what about cleanliness? Well, with this mod I aim to implement a very simple bathing mod.

---------------------
Usage
---------------------

This mod spins around what I call the "Bathing Cycle". This cycle is started when you use your first bathing item (perfume, vegetal cleaning oil, hygienic body gel or portable bathing kit), which you can find under "Aid" items in the pipboy. Once consumed you will get some bonuses depending on which item you used, such as how much the effect lasts. Once the effect is over, you will become "dirty" and have a Charisma penalty of -3 and a slight Radiation Resistance too, but a bonus in sneak and survival. This "dirty" status will be permanent until you clean yourself again by using any of the abovementioned items.

Besides, a new Misc item "Towel and Sponge" will give you an additional health bonus while the clean effect lasts. The health bonus depends on the bathing item used.

You can buy bathing items and the towel and sponge in Chet's general store (they respawn) and a couple other vendors.

You can also make such bathing items and towel and sponge yourself in a Campfire. Each item has a different recipe, so it shouldn't be too hard to keep yourself clean.

From worse to best the bathing items are:
-Perfume
-Vegetal Cleaning Oil
-Hygienic Body Gel
-Portable Bathing Kit

Additional item:
-Towel and Sponge (you have to keep it in your inventory while the clean bonus effect lasts for the extra health boost to take effect. If dropped you will lose the Health bonus but keep the base effect untouched)

---------------------
Additional Info
---------------------

This mod does not aim to add usable bathtubs or water sources for cleaning purposes due to the following reasons:

1. I want to keep the mod simple and compatible. At the moment is a very stable addon and is compatible with everything.
2. As a wasteland wanderer you will have to find "portable" ways to keep yourself clean. A bathtub will not always be available. All of the bathing products have the required water (that is why the recipes of all of the bathing items require purified water).
3. My scripting skills are very limited.

---------------------
Known Issues
---------------------

Due to my limited scripting skills I had to apply the bathing "need" as an addiction. So the first time you consume a bathing item you will get the message that you are addicted to a drug.

---------------------
Installation
---------------------

Drop all the contained files inside your Data folder. Remember to Backup your savegames before applying the mod.

---------------------
Uninstall
---------------------

1. Get an additional addiction (like alcohol or any drug). Then go and talk with any doctor and ask him to cure your addictions.
2. Save your game and exit.
3. Remove "Bathing mod.esp" from your data folder.

---------------------
Requirements
---------------------

Vanilla Fallout New Vegas.

---------------------
Incompailities
---------------------

None. Its a very simple and clean mod. Doesn't touch any important objects.
