Just FYI, Aluminum can be detected by a metal detector as log as it is of the active variety. Passive metal detectors on the other hand can not.

Imagine being stuck on the semantics of a devices name and continue to live in 1874.

I work in a similar setting to the game, I just detected a phone with a wand detector and they also go off in the walk through ones... :alpen:

Im just going to put this out here.... We are all arguing over what materials phones are made of to debate if they would actually set off a detector.....

When like.... 5 seconds on google would clearly demonstrate that phones can and do set off real world detectors all the time.

And copper and other stuff - if you want to continue discussing the intestines of mobile phones: go ahead and make a discussion :P

Phones also contain small amounts of gold in their circuitry.

I think what he means is that aluminium isn't ferromagnetic and thus won't trigger your usual metal detector. Anyway, it's a game and if you want to detect phones, do it. Else just skip this mod. ;)

"Aluminium is a relatively soft, durable, lightweight, ductile and malleable metal..."

Your turn, Stranger... :D

Ah, okay. Sorry, i was not aware of that. Thanks!

Did you check they're actually enabled in-game? Just subscribing isn't enough. You have to go to extras->mods while in the game, check the mods there and hit apply mods.

I simply cant get them working...
Lighers and phones does not show as metal and drugs does not show as smelly.

Issues as in? It's working just fine here.
PeaceDealer 14 Feb, 2015 @ 5:39am 
Sorry, that was ment to be Metallic Lighters, not Phones

I seem to have issues with this in A29? Same with your Metallic Phones, and Detectable Drugs mod

This just makes sense... Why this isn't in the normal game is the real mystery
