About this mod
You ever think "golly gee willikers I sure do like that mutation system from 76 but my crippling social anxiety prevents me from playing"? No? Well, neither do I but I've got a formula to stick to so here we are. This mod recreates 76's mutation system as closely as possible in NV.

This mod recreates the mutation system as seen in FO76. Most of the existing mutations were transferred over apart from Carnivore, Herbivore, and Plague Walker, which either proved extremely difficult to implement, or lacked an equivalent prerequisite to function. Mutations offer both positive and negative effects, think of them like pseudo-traits.
Mutations can be gained in a few ways, either by exposing yourself to radiation, the higher the dose the more likely you are to mutate, or by injecting yourself with serums. Serums can be found being sold by certain doctors around the wasteland, however they can also be crafted at a workbench, provided that you have 100 Science. In addition to providing a mutation, serums also temporarily suppress the downsides to the given mutation for one real life hour. When not using serums however, there is a new perk that can be taken at any level up that reduces the negative effects of all mutations by a significant margin.
Mutations can be removed in two ways, either via RadAway or a new chem item called Mutate-Away. RadAway has a chance to remove one random mutation each time you use one, while Mutate-Away has a guaranteed chance to remove one random mutation. Mutate-Away can be found randomly in the world as well as being able to be crafted. If you would like to keep your mutations, but need to get rid of their effects for a moment, Rad-X can be used to temporarily suppress all effects.
Should you like your current mutation setup, Dr. Usanagi sells a Gene Starcher, which lets you lock your current mutations, preventing you from either gaining or losing them. The Gene Starcher is re-usable, and will toggle whether or not you can lose/gain mutations each time you use it.
With TTW installed, Dr. Preston, the doctor in Rivet City, sells a Gene Starcher as well, and various Wasteland doctors have a chance to sell mutation serums.

Note for mod authors looking to potentially add new mutations to this:
Spoiler:
Starting with version 2.00 I have reworked how mutations are handled on the back end to allow for additional mutations to be easily added instead of everything being hardcoded in the base script.
Start off by creating a new quest, and then to add a new mutation to the system, simply add its relevant perk to the "FO76MutationListAll" formlist via the quest's script by using "ListAddForm". Once all new perks are added, use the "Call" function with "FO76MutationListUpdaterFunction". Do so once upon game restart. From there, it will recalculate what mutations the player has, and what mutations are available to be gained from radiation damage or the random mutation serum. MutateAway and RadAway both function from the same lists, so nothing more needs to be done for them.
However, you will still need to create a new serum if you want one as well, and add them to the appropriate vendor lists if you wish, but otherwise that's all that needs to be done.
