Longer Effects for Stealth Boys and Chems (Optional Stealth Boy Only File)


Ever feel like drugs and stealth boys end way too quickly, and that something that is somewhat rare around the wasteland should affect you for more than 10 seconds?

Looking on the forums I saw a lot of requests for mods that made drug effects last longer, as I think a lot of people feel that they are pretty short. Items like Jet, Alcohol, and many short-term drugs last for mere seconds. It doesn’t really make sense, and it makes these items a pain to use practically. Stealth boys in Fallout 3 lasted a whopping 2 full minutes, and in Fallout 4 they only last 30 seconds! This is way too short for me, and I aimed to help fix this problem with this mod.
Another big problem in the game for me is the fact that many of the drugs have 35% chances of getting you addicted with permanent consequences, but the effects of them only last like 10-15 seconds. This is nuts to me, and I think that a mod was needed to help fix this problem.

FULL LIST OF CHANGES (v 1.0)

Increased Stealth Boy effect from 30 seconds to 90 seconds. They shortened stealth boys significantly for Fallout 4 which I think was a mistake.
Increased Jet effect from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. I only doubled the timing for this one, but 20 seconds feels more natural in game.
Increased Mentats effects from 5 minutes to 7 minutes.
Increased ‘Berry Mentats’ effects from 8 minutes to 10 minutes. This is a pretty rare item, and 2 extra minutes adds a lot of use for it.
Increased Buffjet effects from 15 seconds to 30 seconds.
Increased Psychojet effects from 15 seconds to 25 seconds.
Increased Psychotats effects from 8 minutes to 10 minutes.
Increased Psychobuff effects from 8 minutes to 10 minutes.
Increased Ultrajet effects from 15 seconds to 25 seconds.
Increased Beer effects from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.
Increased Rum effects from 4 minutes to 6 minutes.
Increased Poison Wine effects from 3 minutes to 5 minutes. (Really, you drink an entire poisoned wine bottle and it only lasts 3 minutes?)
Increased Wine effects from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.

I will add/make changes to this list as more updates are made, but I want to get a feel from everyone as to what they all want first. If you want a specific change or edit to be made, make a comment and I’ll see what I can do!
