Meltdown perk not working

[Mooselamb]

That's the gist of it. The meltdown perk literally doesn't do anything. I was playing through Dead Money when I picked it and when I noticed no meltdown occurred when one-shotting ghost people with my holorifle I figured that weapon didn't count but when I finished the DLC and got my laser weapons back it still didn't happen. I realize it's probably one of the mods that's breaking it and I tried to root out which one but couldn't pinpoint it. I wonder if anyone has ever experienced this? The mods I use are:
JIP LN NVSE Plugin
JohnnyGuitar NVSE
NVAC
NVTF
kNVSE
YUP
EuclidsCFinderFix
Faster Pip-Boy Animation
Freeside Open
Strip Open
jsawyer patch
NMC Texture Pack large
Weapon Retexture Project
GRA weapon retexture patch
Vanilla UI Plus
Weapon Mesh Improvement
Simple Dot Crosshair

Meltdown perk only affects the plasma weapons, not all energy weapons.

Apparently that is the case with the JSawyer patch, which has become one of my standard must-have mods, otherwise in vanilla the perk affects all energy weapons as is also confirmed by the Fallout wiki. I disabled JSawyer and indeed meltdown worked with my laser weapons. Oh well.

The original jsawyer is outdated and wasn't really made up to the standards of modern modding anyway.

Something like sawyerbatty or jsawyer Ultimate will serve you better in the long run, with JUSE being more customizable.

You're probably right. I should look into the updated ones. JSawyer is a must have for me but I do wish certain aspects were different.
