📋 About This Mod

Desert Punks introduces a set of grimy new gear, outfitted onto basic Raiders. Desert Punks is designed with a desert setting in mind, but if you like the look, it works well in vanilla-adjacent environments as well.

- CURRENTLY INCLUDED -

- 18 fullbody Raider outfits.

- 18 pieces of Raider headgear.

- 9 pieces of Raider underarmor.

- Fully integrated into Raider Leveled Lists, via manual (non-scripted) edits. To learn more about how this pairs with some other mods, see the "COMPATIBILITIES" section below.

- VERSION 0. 3 ADDITIONS & CHANGES -

With this release, I consider Desert Punks to be about 1/3 of the way to being complete.

- 18 new headgear! Integrated into both Vanilla LLs as well as my own LLs.

- 9 new under armors! Added into Vanilla LLs.

- Leveled Lists have been overhauled. If updating from an older version, you should notice Desert Punks gear showing up considerably more often.

- Fixed a few issues on meshes that I hadn't spotted before.

- Slightly changed up a few more textures here and there.

- FUTURE GOALS -

- Outfits/Headgear for mid to high level raiders.

- Outfits/Headgear unique to each named Raider.

- COMPATIBILITY -

Raider Overhaul One: Compatible with an available patch -- To use Desert Punks and RO1 together you must use the appropriate patch in 4estGimps's Desert Punks Edit.

Capital Wasteland Raiders: Fully Compatible -- While most armor mods add items to equipment LLs, CW Raiders makes its own NPCs and adds them into Raider spawn lists, instead. Fair warning: CW Raiders' NPCs will spawn pretty frequently and make up roughly half of your Raiders.

Raider Gangs Extended: Fully Compatible -- Not only does RGE make its own NPCs, it also makes its own unique spawns for them as well. RGE is basically compatible with everything.

Raider Accessories: Fully Compatible -- Items from this mod are script-injected. Fully recommended, though be sure to get the loose files version!

Grease Rat Garbs (and its Raider LL patch): Fully Compatible -- The Raider LL patch on GRG's download page script-injects its items into LLs, so no conflicts. Keep in mind that items from GRG will be rather scarce (the intended design of GRG's author), and will be even more scarce from adding any additional mods that touch Raider LLs.

JU Helmets Redux: Now compatible with an available patch! -- It touches one single LL, one that Punks also touches. A patch is needed, available on the FILES page.

Raider Clothing: Incompatible -- The two mods touch a few of the same L
