Description
It always vexed me, how you are teased with such good clothing as the roving trader outfit and corresponding hat (they give, in tandem, +10 to barter skill) but only if you kill Malcolm Holmes (the guy who shows up to explain the hunt for the stared bottle caps), because, I think, he is the earliest encounter with the roving trader set of clothes.
Since I couldn't think of a way to get Malcolm's clothes off of him without forcing the player to either be aggressive or flirtatious towards him, I placed a dead NPC near Ringo's sacked caravan (see pictures) who is dressed in the complete roving trader set. It's not in perfect condition (since he too was ambushed and killed by Powder Gangers) and aside from a note describing his poor luck, that put him on the road with that doomed caravan, there is no guns or ammo on him since Powder Gangers looted him like everyone else.
I hope this brings a way to get roving trader outfit and hat to others who are also not willing to play into Malcolm's warning of people being such monsters as to be able to kill for either bottle caps, or in this case, for a good set of early game boosting clothes.
Optional
Since we are talking about changing early game vexes, another one is that there are no campfires in Goodsprings, at all! As an optional file you can download the same disguised merchant with the roving trader gear, plus there will be a campfire just outside and to the left of the Goodsprings gas station (see picture).
Updates
1.1 - Edited a typo in the note. Also added additional stuff around campfire.
Installation
Use whichever mod manager works for you, or just manually copy the chosen file into your games Data folder. Don't use both files, pick one.
