More Complex Needs: Some Vanilla Foods and Water not Working

[MoonDew1]

I'm currently using Imp's More Complex Needs and I noticed that many vanilla food items still have the vanilla stats rather than the More Complex Needs stats, same goes for vanilla bottled water (purified or dirty). I've tried playing it under normal and hardcore mode and still end with the same result. Is this just how the mod works or do I have a problem that need ironing out?

I don't know how that mod works or if it's supposed to make changes to food items, but you can easily find out if you have a conflict by using FNVEdit. Load up the program with your entire load order and locate the Complex Needs mod in the list to the left, then expand it and find the food items. If any of the records listed there have red colored backgrounds, that means you have a conflict. Clicking on a single record will show you all mods that make changes to that record and what specific changes they make.

 

If you have a conflict between two or more mods and you want to keep the changes from each one, you need to merge the changes from each one into a file of your own and load that after all the others. This can be difficult if the changes are made to the same stats on the items, in which case you'll have to make your own judgment on which changes you want to keep and which to discard.
