📋 About This Mod

Glow Sights Overhaul V 1. 1 by assan84

This mod is compatible with mods that alter the weapon textures.

This mod has been updated with an . ESP version.  This mod now adds additional crafting options to the Weapons workbench.  The following Colors have been added:

Red White/Red Gold Gold/Red

After extensive experimentation I have found these to be the best combinations of color and brightness for glow sights.  

In addition I have rebuilt most of the vanilla meshes to provide less blooming around the glowsights (see Deliver pictures in the images tab for an explanation as to why the Deliver was so terrible with glow sights).  Additional brightness reduction tweaks were also applied.

This mod currently changes the glow-sights of the following weapons:

Deliverer 10mm pistol  Combat Rifle Combat Shotgun Submachine Gun Syringer (reflex too) Hunting Rifle Laser Musket Double Barrel Shotgun

<more will be added as I go through them>

Installation:

Install using NMM OR.

Manual Installation place the contents of this folder in your fallout 4 data directory and enable the . Esp in your fallout4mods.ini.

Uninstallation:

Uninstall using NMM OR.

Remove the following folders from your Data/meshes/weapons directory:

10mmPistol CombatShotgun CovertSidearm HandMade HuntingRifle LaserMusket Shotgun any loose files from other mods contained in these folders will also die.

in addition you must remove the esp from the data directory and the glowsight overhaul folder from your meshes directory.

Credit must be given to the following folks: NIftools team. Fo4Edit Team. BAE Team. Without these tools mods like this would not be possible.

See my Other Mods: 44 Revolver Sights Overhaul Missile Launcher Glow Sight Combat Helmet Illumination Feel free to request color variations.  I will test them out and determine if they are worth adding to the mod.  Some colors have been tried already and proven to be lacking.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple texture mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex makes uninstalling easier.

  • Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for any reported compatibility issues with specific weapon mods before adding it to your load order.
