HELP with a few mods

[Deleted2746547User]

I am new to the forum but I've done a good bit of reading, checking out mods, etc. and i have a few ideas and was wondering if anyone could help me figure how to make a mod.

 

I know there are a lot of different mods to make it able to bottle water at water source, refill water bottles, etc. but some conflict with each other and seem to make the whole thing more complicated. I'll tell you what i want to do and I hope you can tell me how best to do it.

 

I want to make bottles, Water, Soda, Whiskey, etc. essentially interchangeable, refillable and based on size. So, if I had a 40oz bottle I could fill it with water, whiskey, beer, etc. I could empty any I wanted to to fill it with something else. Once empty, it essentially came back to me as a 40z, 12 oz, etc bottle. I should be able to fill water at a water source, etc. The effect should vary - a 12 oz water would refresh the player less than say a 40oz bottle would. And the same for the effects of whiskey, etc. Each should have so many "uses" before it turned back into an empty bottle. (and I don't mean the look should vary, that is a 40 oz bottle could look like a larger whiskey bottle, wine, etc.) Would keep it more realistic too when you scavenge for bottles, etc. (They wouldn't necessarily look the same). Also, a reusable/refillable canteen would be good. And they all should have empty/full weight in game.

 

There are a few other mods I wanted to look into but this is one that I wanted to look at first. Part of my reasoning is that this would be realistic and the second part is that it seems a good way to make caps, etc. in the game. With few sources of irradiated water, it seems that people would be more grateful to be given/sold fresh water. Clean water is king (which seems like the basis for a monetary system rather than caps. :)

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS, Pointers, tips, etc.

PS The other mods, changes I will look at later: 1.) Recipe for different drinks, food. 2.) Ability to fix an oven to cook with. 3.) Safe House inventory organizer. - If I am in my safe house and have food in refrig, shells, poweder, etc. in cases - then I should be able to make food at the oven without the ingredients "on me", etc. As long as i am in the safe house. Its so tedious haing to add, re add/put back ingredients... does that make sense.?, 4.) Designate any safehouse you choose as a companion relocation site., 5.) Exchange caps, denari, ncr, etc. into one or the other (like at an exchange house/bank). ANY TIPS/or mods out there that do these things - or if they can be done - please let me know!!!

You should check out this mod. It's similar to what your talking about, but instead of allowing you to refill any bottle, it adds canteens to the game that are automatically refilled when you drink at a water source. I am new to this too, so I don't know how you could create the mod that you were talking about, but it may be helpful to check out the canteen mod in the GECK to see how it works.

thank you... :)

 

I've looked and tried a couple but some conflict with each other or just add clutter to the game. Need to find someone to help create a recycle mod - one that incorporates mods like the add lunchbox, add syringe, tin can etc., break down all ammo, parts into base metals and allows you to put/refill any liquid into any bottle/canteen.
