Installation1. Download and install: Wattz Laser Gun by Painter2099 - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/263862. 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 in the installer and click finish
Troubleshooting1. 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 configuration2. 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
UninstallationSimply uninstall with your mod manager, but remember: the golden rule of modding is not to uninstall anything mid-game.
