📋 About This Mod

UPDATE: I asked the creator of this mod about the texture issues. He recommended the following: \"remember to toggle Archive Invalidation off and back on\". What he means by this is to turn off ARchive Invalidation, start the game, save the game, quit the game, and then turn it back on before the next time you load the game. UPDATE 2: If you are still having problems with textures after trying the above, the creator recommends \"All you need is my Iron Sight update all it does is fix the texture locations , It does not effect the esp just add it and let it overwrite the SCAR nif files and add the textures to the SCAR texture folder.\" You will find this download on his original post in the downloads section. Description This is the Lighthorse gun set, but I changed the amount of damage that each weapon does again, as these guns were so B. A. in the game even after Lighthorse adjusted them. I also really wanted a gun that would make use of the . 32 amunition, because the guns I’ve found that use that ammo pretty much suck, so I changed one of his/her guns to use the . 32 ammo. Apropriately, I also added 1000 rounds of . 32 ammo to the chest. The Case contains: Assault Rifle: TFp SCAR-FL TFp SCAR-FL SD (silenced) Sniper Rifle: (Cheytac Intervention) TFp M200F TFp M200F SD (silenced) TFp Dragunov SD (silenced) Pistol: TFp MK23 USP F TFp MK23 USP F SD (silenced) Ammo: 1000 rounds for each kind of weapon Location: You will find this set of weapons in Springdale, under the rocket, in a case there. REQUIREMENTS: 1. FOMM http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=640 2. ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944 Install: Extract to a temporary location and then drag the contents to your Fallout 3 Data folder, usually Bethesda Softworks\\Fallout 3\\Data. Use FOMM to enable the plugin and you should be good to go. Credits: This is adapted for the post by Lighthorse and is being used with his/her permission.
