Greetings wastelanders
As some of you may know I have been slowly putting together a Battle Armor mod that uses a combination of vanilla assets. I figured, since it largely uses the Combat Armor meshes that I would release them as a material upgrade for the vanilla combat armor.
For those that are confused, What this does is add NEW textures, it does not overwrite the vanilla ones, but instead of creating a standalone armor, it simply adds the option to "swap" textures in the vanilla armor workbenches.
No Keyword patches needed, works for both male and female, CBBE or vanilla. This is because it doesnt modify any of the meshes. The new textures will NOT appear on enemies, and the names of your new armor pieces will not change, this is because I did not want to change any of the vanilla records. If this is an issue, you can simply rename the pieces yourself.
Install the same as any other mod.
COMPATIBILITY: This mod does not override any vanilla entries and shouldnt have any issues with other mods. It will work fine with or without AWKCR and Armorsmith, it will also work well with most mods that change combat armor textures. The only exception is if a mod changes what keywords or ap keywords are used on the vanilla combat armor, which I dont think there are any (AWKCR Adds some but I dont think it removes any defaults).
This mod adds a new material upgrade option at the armor bench for all versions of combat armor, featuring 4K textures with all maps for male and female. It does not replace anything, making it a safe addition for players seeking high-resolution visuals. With 428 endorsements and 6,973 downloads, it's a popular cosmetic enhancement for Fallout 4.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 428 endorsements and nearly 7k downloads.
- Non-replacement design means it won't clash with other texture mods.
- 4K quality with all maps gives a significant visual boost to combat armor.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.

- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the armor bench or combat armor materials.
For Fallout 4 players who want high-resolution textures for combat armor without replacing existing files. Perfect for modders who appreciate visual fidelity and want a taste of Ruddy88's upcoming work. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or new armor pieces—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Armor Workbench available in-game to see the new upgrade option.
- If you use a mod manager, install this mod and place it lower in your load order to avoid conflicts with other texture mods.
- Check the mod's files to ensure you're installing the correct version for your game (e.g., base game vs. DLC).
