I agree, I've been trying to find a way to stop followers from breaking cover while I'm sneaking. I hoped to modify the relevant script so they would only attack if the player is detected. I can find the variable that is toggled to set a follower passive or aggressive (short FollowerSwitchAggressive) but I can't for the life of me find what references it.

There are 6 lines of dialogue, 3 duplicates of each of those two lines. Some check for the correct value from that variable, others don't. Additionally, I didn't realise that Primm got a Sheriff if you took the NCR route. I haven't played that quest with NCR outcome and I didn't see mention of McGee as Sheriff in the New Vegas Wiki as an option. Something else I found interesting and I need to look into further is that there are a bunch of other NPC dialogues that point to vStoryEventPrimm and will make NCR, Kahn & BoS NPC's spout lines about NCR being in charge of Primm if the value is 2. However, just been checking in-game, the value is 0 if the quest is unresolved, 1 if any Sheriff is found and 2 if the town is massacred by the player. So it seems there is a bit more fixing to do yet.

The dialogue conditions seem really screwed-up. I find multiple instances of the following NPC greetings which inconsistently check for a =1, =2 or <0 & >4 value for that variable. "Primm has a new Sheriff. That should keep the Powder Gangers away." "Primm wimped out and accepted NCR rule. Some people will do anything to feel safe." Additionally, only one of the "Primm has a new Sheriff" dialogues will check to see if Slimm was made Sheriff but will also play if NCR is in charge. I'm throwing together a quick fix now and will upload it shortly. *edit* Fix Uploaded

Not sure about cash, but I find that if I want to restock/refresh a vendors inventory, I quicksave in front of them, exit the game. Load the game and then load the quicksave, their inventory will be updated. Exiting out of the game completely is only needed the first time after you have quicksaved in front of them, after that you can quicksave, exit back to the main menu, reload the save and again their inventory will have changed. Rinse and Repeat. If you load your save in a different area from the vendor (even if you have exited the game) and transition into their area to visit them, their inventory will not have changed.
