DarkStar - VIP Mode

Community Rating
This patch restores the VIP Mode cheat from DarkStar Manufacturing, which removes all Research requirements for the various crafting and enhancement benches. Other requirements, such as Level, Skills, Powers, NG+ etc. remain in place.
This patch requires the DarkStar - Total Game Overhaul (Verified Creation). For the DarkStar Manufacturing version, this functionality is built in.
The mode is enabled/disabled in the GamePlay Options menu, in the DarkStar section, and can be enabled/disabled at will. Sometimes you feel like cheating, sometimes you don't.
Unlike the DSM version, this VIP mode leaves the Research in the Research Bench while enabled, allowing you to continue finishing Research requirements to work toward the custom rewards: it just accelerates the process a little. Due to the different way the research works in DarkStar, this approach made more sense to me, as opposed to just copying the original in this regard.
Load order:
DarkStar.esm DarkStar VIP mode.esm
It should be safe to load/unload this patch in an existing save, but make a hard save without it first, just in case.
Thanks to the many folks on the DarkStar HQ Discord who suggested the need for this patch. There are other approaches to this same destination, and they're great too, but this is the approach that most recreates the original.
