📋 About This Mod

Various changes to power armor including renaming, scaling, and rebalancing to make the sets better reflect the way they're portrayed in expanded lore.

A simple and straightforward overhaul to power armor across Fallout 3 and it's DLCs. At it's core, it will give all power armors their correct lore-accurate designations (T-45, T-51, X-02, etc), as well as providing buffs such as extreme radiation and fire resistance to keep in line with the franchise depiction of power armor. Additionally, it will make power armor scale-up the user, making them significantly taller than average humans and just a bit shorter than super mutants. This plugin-only approach means the mod is compatible with pure mesh and texture replacers, but mods that conflict with power armor records will need patches. Alongside this mod, a Brotherhood of Steel overhaul is offered that will revise their ranks, with the lowest tiers utilizing recon gear all the way up to paladins using T-51b, along with various adjustments to the weapon pools used by the Brotherhood.

This will be compatible with any mod that directly replaces power armor meshes or textures. This won't be compatible with mods that edit power armor records. Both Power Armor Visual Enhancement and Power Armor Rehshape are not only compatible but recommended.

Simply drag and drop the contents of the mod into your games "Data" folder, and activate with the mod manager of your choice. Alternatively, install directly through Mod Organizer 2.
