📋 About This Mod
I really liked BornAgain's T51b retexture, and when I got to the Operation Anchorage DLC and noticed that it screwed up the Winterized armor, I was super disappointed. All this does is point the Winterized armor to the original T51b mesh. This is my first attempt at making a mod/patch. I actually found the info on how to do this on his mod page, thanks to another user, and then I couldn't find a patch on here. I figured why not make everyones life easier. Hope this helps!!
This small bug fix addresses a visual glitch where the winterized T-51b power armor shows a light bulb effect when using BornAgain's T-51b retexture. It preserves the texture while fixing the issue. Ideal for Fallout 3 players using that popular retexture mod.

💡 Beginner Tips
