📋 About This Mod

About
This mod replaces vanilla laser guns, institute guns, or laser muskets with 7Ramhat's Aquila weapon mod.
  • []All replaced weapons will be named "LR-34 Aquila" in-game

    []All replaced weapons will spawn with random receiver, barrel, module, and scope attachments. Institute guns should spawn with the Laser Battery (Blue) making their lasers blue.

    Optional plugins are included that completely override Super Mutant leveled lists and gives them either melee weapons, miniguns, or missile launchers. Place the Super Mutant Leveled List Override esp very low in your load order to allow it to win any leveled list conflicts

    Installation
    1. Download and install: Aquila - Laser Rifle by 7Ramhat - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30687

    2. Make sure the esp for that mod is activated and all the assets from it are in your Fallout 4 data folder

    3. Install this mod. Select the replacers you want

    Troubleshooting
    1. Place the replacer esp(s) lower or last in your load order. It's possible you have another mod activated that is overwriting the replacer data or your mod manager is auto sorting the esp's in a poor configuration

    2. If an NPC/Companion weapon is broken, you can individually update them by entering the console, selecting the NPC, and entering the "Resurrect" console command. You will have to do this one-by-one for each NPC. If the NPC/Companion isn't equipping their replaced weapon after the resurrect command, open the console, select them, then enter the "openactorcontainer 1" console command. You can use this console command to view their inventory and force them to equip their replaced weapon and ammo or force them to equip another weapon altogether

    3. Take the replaced weapon to a weapon workbench and re-craft the weapon parts. Crafting a new receiver usually opens up the parent slots for the weapon

    Uninstallation
    Simply uninstall with your mod manager, but remember: the golden rule of modding is not to uninstall anything mid-game. This mod makes data changes that may be irreversible, so you may have to load a previous save that hasn't seen this mod.
