📋 About This Mod

Variants Mod - includes files for all the 3025-29 era appropriate 'Mechs, which currently have model in game. (please comment in forums on any I missed)

Then follow the accompanying PDF instructions based on what you want to use

ModTek Method: Extract all folders into your ModTek Mods folder (should have already created this if you are using ModTek)..

NOTE : This version includes a home for the 3025 era mech/chassis defs that pair up with the FANTASTIC Community Asset Bundle mod - big thank you to all the Modelers out there that gave their blessings to include their files.  Some files have been slightly adjusted to make them Vanilla legal by Haree78 or myself.  Many of these files can also be found in the 3025 Extended mod.  The intention of housing them here, is for easy access for other mods.
