Useful House Robots (Wadsworth & Godfrey) - UPDATED VERSION

Version: 2.0

Author: Chrome Hamster


Did you ever wonder why your Mr. Handy house robot is not actually very handy beyond giving you the occasional bottled water? Well, wonder no longer. And what's better, they are open for service 24 hours a day! This groundbreaking update to my original mod now makes all repairs free. Two versions are available: Lore Friendly (Repair Skill 15) and Cheater (Repair Skill 100). Please use for your own enjoyment or inspiration, and feel free to pass it around or upload to other sites (BUT PLEASE REMEMBER TO GIVE ME PROPER CREDIT!) I will only post "Official" updates on Fallout 3 Nexus.



********************
*** Installation ***
********************

Extract "JHB House Robots Can Repair.esp" to your "\Fallout 3\Data" folder and enable via FOMM. May require uninstall of other mods altering the house robots.

*********************


1. When your robot brings up his repair screen, it
will display 100,000 Caps. When you select items to
repair, it will act as if it is charging you and it will
deduct from this amount. This is because of the method
I used to get around Fallout 3's hardcoding of unified
repair vendor prices. Do not panic! When you close out
of the repair window, the amount of caps in your
inventory will be correct.

2. If you somehow try to repair more than 100,000 Caps
worth of items at the same time, you may get a notice
about "Not Enough Caps." If that happens, just reduce
the number of items you are repairing at that time, then
exit completely out of the repair dialog. When you go
to repair your next batch of items, the Caps number will
be reset to 100,000. Even for cheaters, this
potential situation should be extremely rare.

3. Please report any you find.

*** Release History ***
***********************


2.0 Reworked dialog and scripting to make repairs free.
Why would you pay your own robot servant to work, righ?

Repair Skills set to 15 in "Lore Friendly" version.

Repair Skills set to 100 in "Cheat" version.

Removed access to "Storage" option as its purpose
became redundant.


1.0 Added a "Repair" option to both Wadsworth (Megaton) and
Godfrey (Tenpenny Tower).

To avoid game imbalance, their Repair Skills are set at
15 and it costs caps to use them.

This mod is Lore Friendly. I mean, don't you think
something called a "Mr. Handy" should at least be able
to do limited repairs?

I have also released a separate "cheat" version where
the Repair Skills are set to 100 and you have an option
to get your caps back.
