📋 About This Mod
Alright, the Institute paint for the X01 looks really cool. But why is it restricted to this Power Armor model only ? So many questions, so much nonsense.
Oh well, at least this mod will make things right, as it will allow you to cover your Power Armors in polymer with no model restriction !
This mod doesn't replace anything, it is ESP based and adds its own paints to the game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Compatibility >> This mod is built around a COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT ESP that only adds new Power Armor paints to the game and doesn't modify any core feature. Even though it might not work with mods offering new Power Armor features, they will not conflict. IP4APA is theoretically 100% compatible with any mod you can throw at it.
> Did you create your ESP with TESVSnip/FalloutSnip ? >> No I didn't. I know about the current controversy surrounding this tool, but I assure you I never used it (I don't even know how it works anyway). My ESP was created thanks to the amazing Standalone Power Armor Paint Compiler, created and shared by Expired6978. It's been fine-tuned with FO4Edit.
> Could you please do the same mod for ? >> More mods in the same line are coming. If you didn't know about it, I already released the "Minuteman" and "Railroad" versions of this mod. Check the related mods section !

💡 Beginner Tips
