Misc Item and Crafting Tweaks

Tweaks to items, recipes, and reorganizes the FNV crafting menu.
✍️Current version: v2.1 ·   · 


This mod tweaks the names of many items to assist with sorting and consistency, significantly reorganizes the FNV crafting menu, and tweaks and adds a few crafting recipes.

The FNV/TTW version is a scriptrunner mod, so you can remove features by deleting the relevant code if you don’t like something.
The FO3 version is a scripted mod, so it should be compatible with most things.
