This looks very fun but I'm wondering if it could be possible to get an alternate version where the dumb dialog lines are actually connected to your intelligence, so that only an actual dumbo would speak like that (1-3 INT)
Is there any possibility at all that this could be tied to stats? Or maybe an alt version that is tied to stats? Its easy enough to disable, but I'd love to be able to just leave the mod on all the time (though I'm sure this would require a hell of a lot more work).
I can't remember if there were other super low INT characters in either 3 or NV, but if there are, does it change their dialogue to be completely coherent and understandable to you if you're also low INT? I remember there being an NPC in FO2 that did this and it was funny.
TL;DR While waiting for Fallout 4's mod scene to update things like LooksMenu and AAF, I watched the TV show finally and it re-kindled my love for the earlier titles. I decided to go for Tale of Two Wastelands because I like TTW already, and wanted to try the newest: The Best Of Times Wasteland Survival Guide's Mod Guide.
So, I followed the Wasteland Survival Guides full TTW install guide and their supplemental guides for the graphics and LOD. Ended up with over 600 installed mods using around 200 plugins. The guide advises against adding other mods as you may or may not know.
I love this mod so much. It works beautifully with Latest TTW Build and WSG modlist. Installed midgame, too.

I wanted this playthrough to be special. I finally finished installing TTW using the full and complete official Wasteland Survival Guide and supplemental approved guides for Textures and LODs, but came across a little personal issue with the modlist that WSG developed. Something was missing. It was the most thorough and comprehensive mod guide I had ever used, but it needed the flair I wanted to bring to my game that the beautiful people at The Best Of Times didn't add to their version of TTW because well, not everyone likes to Roleplay I guess but that's why I keep coming back to Fallout.
I love Unarmed combat. Punching people into gibs is exactly what humans need to do in order to keep a clean bill of mental health. I also have the desire to obsessively RolePlay my Fallout games because practicing healthy escapism is also what humans totally need to do to keep mentally well.
But...
My starting SPECIAL was as follows: S 9/P 2/E 9/C 1/I 1/A 9/L 9
Unarmed/Crit-Reliant/Psycho-Junkie/Tank/VATS build who has to steal or kill in order to survive, most caps will be earned from the Fortune Finder perk, and Questing, because selling junk and gear to traders yields little reward for maximum effort. He was never too handy with the Vault Maintenance but god damn could he beat-up Butch one on one every time back in his 101 days, at the cost of a lot of blows to his head.
There was a major problem with trying to coagulate all of my wayward ideas into one Bloody Mess, though. With the amount of SPECIAL points you receive at Game Start just doesn't let you be One Punch Man, Jim Jones AND Albert Einstein, unfortunately.
I tend to go for Savant style builds, in attempts of finding an even more fun and unique way to murder Raiders that plays into my need for RPing. This beast of a Vault Dweller was going to be tough, but not that likeable or smart so I needed this to reflect in his speech and vocabulary otherwise I was going to be agitated with myself the entire playthrough for not having the Low IQ option that I believe should be available. Then again, I am an entitled man in America so take that for what it's worth.
I can head canon that 1 INT just means "Average Joe" in Fallout World thanks to the lack of Low IQ Dialogue options, but it doesn't tickle my RP bone enough to satisfy the obsession for immersion. I hoped that this mod would ameliorate this, and it has in spades.
I have been playing with mods for a little while by now so I felt confident in adding a couple of my favorite FNV mods without any error (360 Movement, Light Up and Smoke Those Cigars, etc...), and when I found this mod I had to give it a shot. Glad I did.
I threw this mod (Ain't That A Kick In The Head) on top of the WSG modlist after testing the game for any mistakes I may have made during installations for TTW. And it just works. Bravo. As far as where in the TTW Load Order I placed it? Middle to Bottom of the list before the Weather, LOD mods, and Vanilla UI+ which always go last in my experience and opinion.
This mod should be included in the Additional section in the Wasteland Survival Guide for TTW. Mostly for the fact that it doesn't break my (600+ Mods) TTW game and delivers what it promises.
I bumbled my way from one punching raiders at the Super Duper Mart- where I was before I had installed this mod- back to Megaton. The first victim I attempted my newly acquired elite vocabulary on was the first named NPC I could find and it just so happened to be Confessor Cromwell.
Even though I didn't understand what atoms are, or why this big metal thingy in the spicy water was so worthy of his insistent yelling I remained standing in the irradiated water the whole time of course, because - well, you know... idiot and all. I politely asked him who he was in roughly three words that should never be arranged within the same sentence like this,
"Who is you"
His good moral standing shone through like a Atom's Glory through a Nuka Cola bottle stained glass window as he ignored my gifted naive countenance and spoke to me as he would any other man. Stunned -or at the very least confused- by his words I managed to spit out a few more... s e n t e n c e s... yeah, we'll go with that- before I sauntered off to my next experimental conversation.
I then strode up the makeshift catwalk towards the Craterside Supply, and was about to punch a "me" sized hole through Moira Brown's door because I still haven't figured out doorknobs yet (Let's see you live in a vault where everything is push button your entire life and then try and twist a knob. Go ahead, I'll be waiting right here until you get back).
Billy Whatshisnuts comes out and suffers my company successfully with no break in the Low IQ Roleplay I've got going on without due haste. Five minutes into this mod being installed mid-game.
I did notice that Moira Brown's dialogue options aren't as integrated, but that doesn't feel unfinished to me. I found this hilarious in hindsight because it's the funniest thing to me to see my guy speak so uhh... eloquently to then -as if struck by divine inspiration- belt out a really smart sounding sentence and then... never again.
Final Thoughts: You've tried the rest now try the best, Spacer's Choi- I mean, Ain't That A Kick In The Head. Other Low IQ mods just don't work like this one.
I suggest using this mod alongside these mods regardless if you play with TTW or not for extra juicy Low IQ Roleplay, because if you play like I do you tend to run on the lower end of the CHR table unless you go for that one CHR Build you keep telling yourself you'll make some day. The same day you'll finally get up, go out into the world, get that job and girlfrie-
Wait... what the fu...?
Here are mods you should use:
Eat Books (Can't read? Screw it! Turns out you can just eat these sandwiches made of words and still learn something!)
Charisma Affects Reputation w/ Optional TTW Patch (in case your character isn't the Lenny type of misunderstood genius)
I Hate You - NPCs Insult You (Not everyone has patience for your lightning fast mental acuity, especially if you never bathe)
Harder Barter Faster Stronger (Easier to get ripped off when you can't fathom the value of a cap, or if you simply can't count right)
Sweet6Shooter has some Perk and Trait mods that add some funny flavor text descriptions to their traits for Low IQ RPers too but I think we all already knew that one.
Anyway that's enough out of me. Great mod. There are some mods you never stop using throughout your playthroughs and reruns of your modlist. This is one of them for me now. Endorsing when Nexus will allow me to. Catch you in the Wastes, Waster.
Wow I am just glowing from this review! I'm so genuinely happy you enjoy this mod to such a degree! I've been having a blast so im happy other folks are too! I will be trying those suggested mods out myself they seem like a great addition to a low IQ run! First update should be this weekend, I will be adding dialogue for FNV DLCs! Me hope you have fun!
Me no wait, me need update now. Big Fisto hungers for Punga...
Sorry for the TLDR review but it was honest. This is a great mod. I didn't even realize this was made like literally last week! I can't get enough. You do good work <3
Oh that sounds fun! Yes! Low intel character stats are not necessary at all! This mod replaces all dialogue regardless of your stats so that you sound as dumb as possible. When you want to return to normal dialogue simple uncheck LowIntelligence.esp.
You can be 10 intelligence and still sound like a dumb-dumb! Didn't want to limit folks' playstyles

Uhhhhhh
Shame its not basegame like the original :(
Is there any possibility at all that this could be tied to stats? Or maybe an alt version that is tied to stats? Its easy enough to disable, but I'd love to be able to just leave the mod on all the time (though I'm sure this would require a hell of a lot more work).
Eitherway great work! Please keep it up :D

Real Review
Why I downloaded the mod:
I wanted this playthrough to be special. I finally finished installing TTW using the full and complete official Wasteland Survival Guide and supplemental approved guides for Textures and LODs, but came across a little personal issue with the modlist that WSG developed. Something was missing.
