📋 About This Mod
AL333's INSTITUTE WEAPON RETEXTURE
DESCRIPTION
This is a complete texture overhaul of the institute weapons, It features high quality custom scratch made textures at resolutions of 2048x2048 (except the receiver which is 4096x4096).
The new textures clean up the weapons making them much cleaner whilst maintaining a somewhat weathered look, they also give the weapons a much more metallic look and the level of detail has been increased with all new diffuse and gloss/spec textures, I have also added additional details to the normal maps.
The retexture for the recon scope is being provided as a separate file as all recon scopes share the same textures.
INSTALLATION
Install with nexus mod manager or download manually and extract files to your fallout 4 data folder.

⚠️ Cons
