One of my annoyances with the hacking minigame is being permanently locked out of a terminal after failing, especially when the terminal contains tidbits of lore and storytelling. Sure you can close the terminal on the last try and re-open it but that always felt like a cheap exploit to me, and not every character will get the Computer Whiz perk.

This mod adds holotapes called Lockout Busters. If you are locked out of a terminal, you can use a Lockout Buster to override the lockout and get another go at hacking. Lockout Busters are craftable at a workbench with Science 50, but will also be sold by general goods vendors and (more rarely) found in various loot containers. They expire on use so be sure to bring a couple with you.

Fully Tale of Two Wastelands compatible.


Installation

Requires NVSE and the JIP LN NVSE Plugin.

I recommend installing with a mod manager but if you want to install manually, extract the archive and move its contents into your New Vegas "Data" directory. Activate the mod in the "Data Files" section of the game's launcher.


Technical

Integration with vendors and containers is done via script injection to avoid conflicts. For vendors, you may have to wait 3 in-game days for the item to start appearing in their stock.
