Mod:Stash Those Caps

Stash Those Caps is a Fallout 4 mod by Greslin, which re-implements FO3/FNV-style inventory bottlecaps. Carry them, give them to a companion, put them in a safe. No crafting or charge card workarounds - just honest, all-American, God-fearing Nuka caps.

Stash Those Caps
Put simply, this mod turns caps into basically what they were in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas: actual physical objects that you can stash in containers, give to your companion, or forget about completely. No more abstract point counter in your Pipboy: just good old-fashioned caps, right in your backpack, the way God intended it.

About
Stash Those Caps introduces a token called "Bottlecap" as a MISC object, just like normal Bottlecaps - except that it shows up in your inventory. This token acts as a physical interface to your actual caps, syncing up whenever either caps or the tokens are added or removed from your inventory. This means that you can put the tokens in a container, give them to an NPC, whatever. When the add/remove event is processed, this mod will resync the numbers and the correct balance will appear as your true cap count.

The one situational exception is when you're bartering. Your inventory bottlecaps will not appear in barter screens, as they are quietly removed before the screen opens. When you exit the barter screen, the script will place the correct number of bottlecaps into your inventory.

All in all, this should work pretty much exactly as it did in FO3/FNV. Your bottlecaps can be found in the MISC section of your Pipboy.

Note: the download package includes two versions of the ESP. Only use one of them! The "weighted" version adds a very small amount of weight to the bottlecap token, which is almost nothing at first but adds up quickly. Only use this version if you want the realistic experience of carrying a sack of metal bottlecaps with you wherever you go.

Source code is included in the download package.
