📋 About This Mod
Description
There are some placed intercoms in the game world (for example Walden Pond, Cabot House, Diamond City main gate) that glow red when someone is talking through the speaker. This light effect looks rather angular-shaped with messed up boundries, not to say a bit ugly. This mod remedies it by linking a nice round light effect to the intercom. There's an animated gif in the screenshots tab to better illustrate this.
Installation
You can install this mod with any mod manager.
If you're new to this, here's a guide.
You can install it at the start of a new game or mid playthrough, it doesn't matter.
No additional mods or DLCs are required.
The files are packed into BA2 archives and the plugin is flagged as an ESL file so it won't waste a precious load order spot.
Load order
