This mod should fix the bug where a player is unable to tell Chief Hanlon that Caesar is sick to resolve the quest Return to Sender (unless Caesar has died, in which case telling Hanlon he is sick would be quite redundant). It does this in a very quick and dirty way, by deleting the conditions (Caesar being flagged as dead) for the related lines of dialogue entirely, because Obsidian tied the lines for "Caesar's Dying" and "Caesar's Dead" together in a very strange way and it is much easier to do it this way instead of trying to untangle that mess.
It should not have any deleterious effects on gameplay or stability, it only alters a few records relating to Chief Hanlon's dialogue.
As a result of the way I fixed the problem, you will be able to see the relevant lines of dialogue regardless of whether your character actually has learned about Caesar's illness. You will also be able to see the lines pertaining to Caesar's death, regardless of whether he is dead. Selecting these lines will NOT cause Caesar to die or have any effect beyond the way Return to Sender resolves, so do not be afraid if you accidentally click them or if you want to role play and lie to him to convince him to stop.
The quest should give a proper post-game ending for the Courier, unlike Chief Hanlon Fix, which sets some global variables to wrong values in order to achieve essentially the same effect as my mod.
If you don't know how to install this mod, then... good luck with the rest of your life as a drooling imbecile, I suppose.
If it doesn't work, put it lower in your load order. If it still doesn't work, you fucked up somehow. Try again.
