A new companion has made her way to the Mojave...
Holy shit it's been awhile since I promised an update hasn't it?
I'll be honest, I hadn't planned on updating this mod anytime soon. Truth be laid bare in the sun, I made this mod when I was 16, a huge goddamned nerd, and very erratic in what projects I worked on.
Now, I'm 22, and I've managed to do a lot since then, despite what I thought of myself all those years ago. I graduated high school, traveled across the country, attended college, climbed a moutain, met some very nice ladies, lost some friends, made some new ones, and discovered passions I never knew I had. It's been pretty cool.
I was going to leave modding New Vegas behind, as I had abandonded the GECK a long time ago due to it being the most archaic piece of shit since my grandma, but lately I recieved a message from a fan of Stimpak, who reported some grim news.
Sara Mear's husband, Ben Mears, passed some time ago. I can't say I knew him, but I can say I'm disappointed that I will never get the chance to.
From what I can tell he was a good man, who was loyal to his partner and strong of will and heart.
With this news in mind, and given that my journey into serious modding would have never been possible without Sara Mears, I decided to make a small memorial to Ben, so that he will forever had a place of remembrance. It seemed the least I can do.
While I had the GECK open, I also decided to take some time to fix a few long-standing bugs that have plagued the mod since release, most of which were easy fixes my ADHD-riddled 16 year old brain couldn't figure out. While I was fixing bugs, I decided to add some more small
features to the mod, for quality of life.
The features are as follows-
-Gave Stimpak a cool hat.
- Added voice lines to a dozen unvoiced lines
- Added a bunch of new voice lines using unused clips from the canceled update that I've had on my hard drive for the past six years.
- Squashed some bugs.
- Stimpak's idle dialouge now only occurs once per day.
- Stimpak's dialogue levels had been rebalanced, curtesy of jacqualine47.
I'd like to take this opportunity to extend a thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of those who have enjoyed their time with Stimpak. I can still remember how excited I was when I saw the first piece of fanart done of her. I was in biology, looking at the MikeBurnFire subreddit instead of paying attention to anatomy or whatever the fuck, and almost spontaneously combusted when I saw Tungunsten Hale had drawn a picture of her. I still have that picture framed somewhere, it meant so much to me then, and still does, as does the enjoyment derived from those who have had Stimpak in their party.
I may be more-or-less done with New Vegas modding, at least until the GECK gets patchworked into something that doesn't feel like pulling teeth, but I still have many projects in the works! If you're interested, keep an eye out, and if not, just keep hangin loose.
Thank you all!
Who is Stimpak?
Stimpak is a fully voiced medical eyebot companion (voiced by the lovely Sara Mears) with over 230 lines of fully voiced dialog. She can heal you (Once per day), will comment on her surroundings, level along side you, and chatter during your adventures in the Mojave! She won't set of traps and can carry more gear than a pack brahmin. Her stats are identical to ED-E's, making her ideal for both late game and early game characters.
Where is she?
Stimpak can be found in the Goodsprings Gas Station, which has been completely renovated to serve as a perfect player home, with storage to spare and a metric ton of clutter. It also has space outside for other companions, making it a fantastic home base.
What else comes with this mod?
Aside from a fully voiced companion and a functional player home the mod also includes 5 new weapons, a fully scripted quest that will take you far into the Pacific Ocean, 2 new perks,and a new set of armor.
How do I start her quest?
Simple! Go into her dialog and ask her if she wants to talk. Then simply ask her if she's ever traveled with anyone other than you and you're off to the races! Be warned, this quest is fairly difficult to low level players, it is recommended you are at least level 20 before going in.

Easter Eggs? (SPOILERS)
Why yes, there are a few Easter eggs in this mod. One of which is located on the lower level of "Exus Bunker Level 1", behind an average locked door.
Many terminal entries contain pop culture references as well!
Known Bugs? (Minor Spoilers)
So far there are two known bugs in the mod.
Bug #1, Stimpak doesn't go to the gas station or 38 after being dismissed, she will just stay where she is. If you want to get her to stay in the 38 you'll have to drop her off there first.
Bug #2- The "reactor terminal" doesn't quite work until you use the console to "resurrect it", I'm not sure why this happens and I've done everything in my power to fix it, but its current state seems to be the best I can get.
Those are the only bugs I know of, if you know more please comment and tell me about them and I'll do my best to fix the issue!
Bug #3- The Reactor Terminal, like Mr.House's Mainframe, can sometimes be destroyed if the planets align. If this happens, simply reload a save and make sure it doesn't get destroyed.
And that's the mod! I hope you all get as much enjoyment out of this as I did making it! Enjoy! Also I love to see what people are doing with Stimpak, so upload any images you see fit!
