This mod adds new kinds of Nuka-Colas and other related content to the game. This is an overhaul of the version that pre-dates the “ultimate” name, acting as a merger of Nuka-Cola Expansion, Ice Cold It All, and their optional patches.
This mod was made for Tale of Two Wastelands. There is an adaptation of the Tale of Two Wastelands version for use with Fallout: New Vegas, but it isn’t maintained as much.
Features
- 5 new Nuka-Colas.
- 6 new Nuka-Mixes, unlocked with a perk.
- All Nuka-Colas, mixes, and Sunset Sarsaparillas can be made into new Ice Cold variants at player home vending machines or with liquid nitrogen.
- 1 new Wild Wasteland encounter with a unique item.
- 1 new challenge which unlocks a perk when completed.
- 1 new misc stat, Nuka-Cola Consumed.
- All new items are distributed in containers, lists, and throughout the wastelands in technically lore friendly ways.
- Automatic compatibility with ySI.
- Automatic feature expansions with TTW mods Washington’s Malevolence and A World of Pain for Fallout 3.
- Fresh Nuka-Cola with AWOP4FO3 has been expanded upon and distributed, if that mod is enabled.
- Compatible with Complete Player Home Upgrades if NukaExpansionUltTTW.esm is loaded after CompletePlayerHomeUpgradesTTW.esm.
Items
Nuka-Cola Cherry
Increases action points by a small amount. It is only found in the Capital Wasteland. It can be found in Nuka-Cola vending machines and in kitchen containers that can sometimes have regular Nuka-Cola.
Nuka-Cola Grape
Increases action points and heals some radiation. It is only found in the Capital Wasteland. It can rarely be found in Nuka-Cola vending machines. This cola is very useful in the Capital Wasteland, where radiation is most prevalent.
Nuka-Cola Orange

Nuka-Cola Wild
Increases action points by a small amount and does not increase radiation. According to Fallout 4, this was Nuka-Cola’s attempt at a sarsaparilla drink to compete with Sunset Sarsaparilla. It is only found in the Mojave Wasteland, inside Nuka-Cola vending machines and in kitchen containers that can sometimes have regular Nuka-Cola.
Nuka-Cola Dark
An alcoholic variant of Nuka-Cola. Instead of increasing charisma and reducing intelligence, it increases endurance and reduces perception. It is found in both wastelands and wherever alcohol would be typically stored, like in cabinets or fridges. It cannot be found in any vending machines.
Nuka-Mixes
Nuka-Mixes cannot be found in any containers, the only way to obtain these is to craft them. Some Nuka-Mixes include comedic visual effects and combine the effects of included nukas.

Config
bNukaColaSubcategory
Default: 1
If set to 1, sets nuka-cola crafting recipes in the Campfire to a Nuka-Cola subcategory if you have the Nuka-Chemist perk.
bSortSarsWithNuka
Default: 0
If set to 1, sets Sunset Sarsaparilla recipes to the Nuka-Cola category whenever that should be used.
At the moment this is only when bNukaColaSubcategory is set to 1. Setting this to 1 and bNukaColaSubcategory to 0 will do nothing.
