📋 About This Mod
11 Years Later...
This retexture started out simply as something I threw together because I wasn't satisfied with the (then limited) options Nexus had at the time for this game. Never would have thought it'd get to where it is now. Thanks to everyone who used and enjoyed this, I'm sorry that I vanished from the scene before improving this. Life happens, unfortunately.
I've updated the permissions on this opening it up to anyone who wants to do anything with it, with credit given of course.
This is a retexture of the Grunt Merc outfit to make the shirt, pants, and boots black. Nothing more. This is not standalone, this will retexture all Grunt Merc outfits.
