Creating Diseases

[RandianHero]

Now, this should be pretty straightforward, but I'm running into difficulty creating new diseases and getting them to show up in the pipboy. I've tried making them Actor Effects, Diseases, even Addictions, and still the disease's effects won't display.

 

I know I'm getting the disease because it says "Syphilis added" at the top of the screen after the little fade to black effect (though the pipboy is grinning, which is kinda eerie...).

 

Any ideas?

I don't have much experience doing the kind of modding you are here, but I'd suggest looking at how drugs work and "mimic" their way of applying the addiction component for your STD's. Try duplicating the entries but rename them so that you can tell in-game if they have been applied or not and try getting that to work first. Then modify the details once you know that your STDs are linked correctly so that they show up in the PipBoy.

 

That's the only idea I could think of at the moment.
