LiveNLove Magazine Perk Patch
In the vanilla game the Live & Love magazine perks do not effect the companions Cait, Curie, Dogmeat, MacCready, and Preston Garvey. This mod fixes that.
If you are planning on installing this mod in an ongoing play-through please install and execute the Curie Live & Love magazine perk patch bat file in the optional files section. Curie doesn’t seem to update Actor Effects at all if applied to an existing save game. The only way of adding Actor Effects to Curie in an existing save game that I have found is applying it through the console. That is where this bat file comes in, please look at the FAQ for installation instructions. If you are installing this mod in a new play-through then you are not required to do this.
If you’re one of the few people using my other mod, Companion Carry Weight Modifications, then you do not need to also install this mod, as the patch is already incorporated into it.
