📋 About This Mod
This mod is my attempt to improve the SMGs in Fallout 3. FEATURES: Makes SMGs a 2-handed weapon to be more realistic. Adds a lightweight folding stock to SMGs, also to be more realistic. Adds a better, HiRes texture to make them more attractive. Adds a new Silenced 10mm SMG that can be purchased from Flak & Shrapnel in Rivet City. (Or added to inventory via Console: Base ID is 01002FE5.) INSTALL: 1. Extract all files to \"\\Fallout 3\\Data\". 2. Enable via FOMM. UNINSTALL: 1. Disable via FOMM. 2. Delete all files. KNOWN ISSUES: Some clipping. Texture on stock could be better. I had no idea how to add collision data to stock and silencers. If you want to fix any of these be my guest and get full credit.
