Issue with JE Sawyer's Mod and Pre-order Items

[TripleSeven]

I recently installed JE Sawyer's mod, and wherein the pre-order items are sent to Chet's shop (an alternative I really like), but since nothing (that I've found, anyhow) tells the game to do anything apart from sending them to his inventory the one time, they vanish the first time he restocks. Now I don't know much about modding or the GECK, but could anyone be so kind as to explain to me how I might get them to persist until purchased?

I have no modding experience either, so I don't know if this suggestion can work. Maybe it can be scripted into his dialogue? Add a request from the player for his stash, and then put the items into your inventory, fulfilling the request. The items would never be in Chet's vendor chest this way, so they'd never get overwritten in a restock.

It's actually pretty simple, but has pretty negative consequences.

 

You have to make his inventory not respawn. That means that he never will restock. If he restocks, he will lose everything he already has in stock. No way around it unless you constantly re-add the items every time the cell resets.

 

I personally don't think it's worth it. Those items are meant for early game consumption, not usage through the whole game. If you don't get them in the first 3 days, you don't get them at all. Makes sense to me that way, since they're for starting characters.

 

If you're an OCD Completionist, then you're just not going to be pleased, I guess.

 

Or, since obviously you're on the PC if you're using JE Sawyer's Mod, you coudl always just add them through the console.
