You should not be playing without these mods anyway, they make the game SOOOO much more stable.
If you don't use a mod manager or just prefer to install manually, make sure all files go into the Data folder.
Set up should look like this:
meshes/clutter/billiards/glassball.nif
textures/clutter/billiards/glassball.dds
sound/voice/bbr.esp/femaleadult11
maleuniquecraigboone
BBR.esp
BBRreadme.txt (not needed, but you should keep it around should you need to double check anything!)
Things to know before playing:
Very Important: Do not save inside the Novac player room! The game absolutely hates loading saves within modded spaces. A general room of thumb; avoid saving your game within ANY indoor space, this makes it more likely to become corrupt. Why? Its a Bethesda game, that's why.
This mod is only partially voiced, where vanilla voice lines could be reused. The rest is silent dialogue. If I ever figure out how or someone offers to help, I may try spliced dialogue in the future, but for now, this is the best solution. (I did try silent voice generator to at least get lip sync at one point, but the results were...terrifying.)
This mod does not override any of Boone's faction standings or boundaries from vanilla. He will still leave if you shoot too many NCR people or get too cozy with the Legion. If you're in the middle of any of the added quests, this will prevent you from completing them entirely.
Again, check the quest info section below before playing.
Compatibility Concerns
As mentioned above, this mod tweaks the Novac player room for convenient crafting and give it a warm, calming vibe over the original depressing one. As such, any mods that alter the Novac player room will be incompatible.
On the same note, any mods that alter the courtyard outside the Novac Dino Motel, Searchlight Airport, and Silver Peak Mine are also unlikely to play well with this mod.
F*ckable Companions - Fully compatible, but if you want to use this mod for the romance content, there's no point in having both.
JIP Companions Command & Control - Since this is a dialogue only mod, BBR should be fully compatible with this mod, but I can't 100% confirm it. Check in FNVEdit if you're not sure!

Special Thanks:
Seddon4494 - This mod wouldn't have been possible without his very helpful GECK tutorial series.
Kyle & Kira - If their mod F*ckable Companions didn't exist for me to dissect, I likely would have remained too intimidated to try modding on this scale.
krimsons - Their Novac player room mod inspired a lot of the changes I made. Hats off to you my friend.
