One way to get rid of it is to simply remove the mod (uninstall it, via your mod manager, such as FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager) or NMM (Nexus Mod Manager)). Another way is to look in the files using a tool such as FNVedit (You can downlod it on Fallout New Vegas Nexus) to find the perks reference ID - it's a long number, about 8 characters long), replace the first two numbers with the mods 'load reference' - that will be shown in your mod manager, a small number next to the mod, two digits).

So, for example, let us say I want to remove a perk, called 'Insanity', which is from the mod named 'PerksPerksPerks'. I download, open, and load FNVedit. I then find the mod in the list called 'PerksPerksPerks'. I click the little box next to it to open that up. I then go to the entry 'Perks', and open that. I find the perk in the list named 'Insanity' - I write down the entire list of numbers - let's say for example, '0314609d'. I then close FNVedit. I then go and open up my Mod Manager, and find the mod 'PerksPerksPerks'. In this list, there will be a number next to it, in a collumn marked 'Load Order'. Let's say 'PerksPerksPerks' is '38' in my load order. Now, this doesn't always have to be a number - it can be a letter and a number, maybe two letters. Anyways - now I can put those two numbers together. Once I load my game, I open my console (~ button) and type in 'player.removeperk 3814609d'. The 38 is the mods 'load order' and the '14609d' is the actual reference of the perk. Once you find and put in the correct number for the perk, it will be gone without any of the other perks being affected.

Sorry but there really isn't a quick explanation or even an easy way to remove a perk. Just take the time to read the above post if you really want it removed.

short version: new game, or load an older save and don't take the perk.

Or just remove the mod and lose the perk.

I could always make you a mod that would replace the mines with red triangles if that makes you feel any better.

This is what happens when you do not know what you are doing and you mess with mods folks.

It is not that hard to mod your game safely and trouble free it has been explained many times in many places so I wont explain it here.But it is far from rocket science.

I got rid of it. all i had to do was open FNEditor. find the Railgun Arm line and delete it. and now i can throw mines normaly. :)
