📋 About This Mod
The mod that I like to call "Weaponsmith Not Extended"...
Commonwealth Arsenal ReloadedDescription:
I think the gunplay is one of the best parts of Fallout 4. I like adding new weapons to the game to enhance the gunplay. And while the mods available here on the Nexus are of great quality model and texture wise, their implementation often left much to be desired. There was no consistency not only between different authors, but also between various guns made by the same author. I was fed up with this. No longer would we have mod naming be all over the place. No longer would we have uninformative descriptions. We needed standardization.
Before we get into the many weapon mods and work on their standardization, we need to sort out the vanilla (+DLC) arsenal. Sorting is done by using the excellent VIS-G Item Sorting by Gambit77. Commonwealth Arsenal Reloaded provides VIS-G sorting for every single vanilla and DLC weapon and their respective mod items as well as the new mods provided by frog345's Combined Weapon Mods plus all the new ammunition and conversion kits added by New Calibers. All of this is achieved with the power of Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource (AWKCR).
Not only have the mods been sorted, but a lot of them also received upgrades to their descriptions. Now you will know how big of a magazine you're actually making and how much zoom a scope or sight actually provides. It's not quite Better Mod Descriptions level of upgrades, but still much better than vanilla. New Calibers caliber swap mod descriptions are fixed now, too.
Now includes an optional patch for hitman47101's Hunting Rifle Animation Replacer, which is required for the L96A1.
Features:
-
[]Cut weapon mods re-implemented, as well as fixed (frog345's Combined Weapon Mods)
[
]Weapon mod descriptions improved[]New Calibers ammunition sorted with VIS-G and integrated into vanilla weaponry
[]All ammunition is craftable at AWKCR's Ammo Workbench
[]VIS-G sorting for all weapons and their mods
[]No more aim centering after firing a weapon - recoil actually matters now, gunplay is much more fun
While created to be used as a base for standardizing new weapons added by weapon mods, this mod can also be used (and is very much intended to be used) as an improvement to vanilla.
The implementation of new weapons is done in a separate mod - Commonwealth Arsenal Expanded.
Feedback is very important! I'm sure I missed some mod description somewhere, misspe
