📋 About This Mod
Have you ever sat and thought, "man, I want to launch my baby out of a catapult?". I know I have. In retrospect, this is why my wife left me.
Anyway, this mod replaces the mininukes fired by the Fat Man (or Nuka-Launcher if Bethesda is afraid of you), with a baby. Your baby. Guess you found him.
INSTALLATION Extract the contents of this mod into your data folder, so that there's a new folder called meshes. Modify your fallout4.ini file so that the "sResourceDataDirsFinal" to have a "Meshes\" tag on the end. It will now read something like " sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, Textures\, Meshes\". This will let Fallout 4 acknowledge your lose, saggy files. Gross.
COMPATABILITY AND TIPS Will conflict with anything that modifies the mininuke models. But not Shaun. This doesn't affect the actual launching model, I think that's an animation that's part of the actual fat man model. More replacers coming soon. Expect Thomas the Tank Engine stuff, because let's face it, I'm pretty much obligated to do that at this point.
