NexusMods: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/77673

Item Names

Pure nitpicks to names. YMMV.

bGlowingMushroomToFungus
Name change to match the Fallout 4 item.

  • Glowing Mushroom > Glowing Fungus

bChangeBigPotName

  • Pot > Large Metal Pot

bChangeCeramicPlateName

  • Ceramic Dinner Plate > Ceramic Plate

bUniqueMedicalBraceNames

  • New Medical Brace > Medical Brace, New
    This item isn’t used by anything, and feels like just a leftover test item to me, and uses the same model as the regular version. The single placement in fallout 3 feels like a mistake to me.

bUniqueButterKnifeNames

  • Butter Knife > Metal Butter Knife
    The plastic one has been left alone.

bChangeMilkBottleName

  • Milk Bottle > Empty Milk Bottle

bChangePoolTriangleName

  • Triangle > Pool Triangle

Prefixes for Sorting

New Recipes and Tweaks

These allow you to toggle new recipes.

bUnbendTinCanRecipe
Adds recipes to the three main crafting stations that allows you to unbend tin cans.

  • Automatically disabled if jsawyer ultimate is enabled, to remove duplicate recipes.
  • If jsawyer or sawyerbatty is enabled, automatically enabled and enhances jsawyer and sawyerbatty’s recipe since they only add one to the workbench.

bReturnSubcategory
Sets all recipes with “[Return]” in their name to a new Return subcategory.

  • This also affects recipes from mods, as long as they have “[Return]” in the name.

bPoisonSubcategory
Sets all recipes which craft poisons to a new Poisons subcategory.

  • Affects all recipes in the game which craft items the game considers to be poisons, including those added by mods.

bMoreReturnOptions
Enables sierra madre vending machine return options for businesswear, some more hats, and sexy sleepwear.

  • Automatically disabled if DeadMoneyMissingReturnOptions or DLC Enhancements is enabled.

bCigaretteReturn
Adds a return option for singular cigarettes.

  • Automatically disabled if DeadMoneyMissingReturnOptions is enabled.

bUltrajetRecipe
Enables a recipe for Ultrajet which gets unlocked if Murphy successfully crafts one himself. This means you’ll have to give him some sugar bombs first before you unlock it for yourself.

Non-optional changes

  • The Meals-to-metal recipe now uses the metal butter knife instead of the plastic one in its ingredients.
  • Voracious Reader no longer force-converts ruined books, instead enabling new workbench recipes to craft them into blank magazines.
  • Added recipes to craft Blank Magazines into Blank Books and back, if Old World Blues has been started.
  • Reverted TTW’s change to the blank magazine to book recipe, so it only costs 1 magazine to craft, BUT made it craft a ruined book instead of a pre-war book.
  • All recipes which use Mojave exclusive items are now conditioned to be hidden until you first go to the Mojave (or if you have one of the items)
  • Nukalurk related recipes are now hidden until you first acquire nukalurk meat.
  • Added dead money return recipes for DC non-dirty pre-war clothing items, and tweaked names.

New Items and Tweaks

These allow you to toggle new items. (to my best ability)

bBogMoonshine
Changes the Moonshine from Point Lookout into a more unique item by giving it a punga effect and unique name, “Bog Moonshine”.

  • Moonshine is duplicated in Point Lookout as a separate item. This is an attempt to establish Bog Moonshine as a unique variant of Moonshine, and not an accidental duplicate.
  • In-world Point Lookout moonshine has been replaced with standard moonshine where it wouldnt make sense that someone could have put one there trading with Marguerite.
  • They cure a minor amount of radiation, and have an improved radiation cure with punga power. This is to make it more unique from vanilla new vegas moonshine. I thought it made sense, punga is used to craft it.
  • If you disable this, they’ll still exist in the world but appear as the vanilla moonshine, and they’ll be force-replaced upon pickup. Might be glitchy.

bSteamedLakelurk
Enables a recipe for Steamed Lakelurk, crafted with Lakelurk Meat.

  • If you disable this, only the recipe is hiddem. Any you may have already crafted will still exist.

bDeathclawMeat
Adds Deathclaw Meat to Deathclaw loot lists with unique stats, and enables campfire recipes which use it.

  • If you disable this, the recipes get hiddem and it wont be put it loot lists. Any which may have already spawned and items you crafted will still exist.

bFreshProduce
Adds unique versions of the Fresh Apple, Pear, Carrot, and Potato items with slightly better stats.

  • This pairs very well with the setting that removes fresh from the names of the vanilla items.
  • These are distributed in unique lore locations such as the Rivet City labs and used in the AWOPFO3 patch.
  • If you disable this, they’ll still exist in the world but appear as the vanilla items, and they’ll be force-replaced upon pickup. Might be glitchy.

Non-optional changes

  • Mirelurk Eggs have been added to the game. They’re distributed in the Capital Wasteland where Lakelurk Eggs would be in the Mojave Wasteland, and the in-world mirelurk egg containers have been replaced with the item. Lakelurk Eggs have been given its model.

Gameplay Tweaks

bChangePotValue
Sets the pots value to 1 bottle cap instead of 0.

Non-optional changes

  • In-world “new medical brace” items have been replaced with standard vanilla medical braces.
  • Some in-world static objects have been replaced with proper misc items. This affects a lot of pots and some coffee mugs.

Last update: v1.7
Requires Tale of Two Wastelands 3.3.2

I tried to make sure this was very compatible, most changes are scripted. Though unfortunately functions which modify recipes are limited - due to a lot of hard edits to recipe records, mods which edit some base game recipes may conflict.

I do not recommend using this mod with item name sorter mods unless its changes aren’t very interfering (like say, adding a [bracketed prefix] or sorting based on icon)
Even if you do pick one, it’s not an experience I personally prefer, sorting via item name (like Card, or Mod, or Magazine,) has been very comfortable to play with without feeling out of place, and is actually consistent with the base game considering gun casings are prefixed this way.
