📋 About This Mod

This mod keeps the Brotherhood of Steel lore friendly to Fallout 4 while also expanding on them for example all Power Armor soldiers have a Knight insignea in the base game but with this mod not anymore

if some BoS soldiers show up in rusty T-60 Power Armor that means there is a mod conflict. make sure this mod is at the bottom of your loadorder or make a patch if you know how to do this

I reccomend starting a new game for this mod to show its full effects
