📋 About This Mod
This mod is considered feature-complete and therefore won't get any updates. If you're looking for something more sophisticated then you could check out the two mods below.

[]For users of Old ECO: Weapon Integration Project[/]
[]For users of ECO Redux: Weapon Overhaul Project (WOP)[/]
Do you want certain weapon mods to have leveled list integration with the full array of available variants on random spawns (based on player/enemy level), more attachments on some guns so you can customise them further or retain some balance with those guns in your game? Do you want some of those weapons spawn only with lore-friendly attachments?
Then this is the right place for you. Pick and choose plugins for the weapon mods you're using. The installer those files come in, to be used with any modern mod manager, automatically adapts to your mod setup. Details on the individual changes and requirements are found in the installer when you hover the options.

[]In the installer descriptions I mention "INNR" a couple of times. That's the abbreviation for Instance Naming Rules. Those rules make dynamic naming available to items. E.g. you add a better receiver to a gun and that gets reflected in its name, before it was just an "Assault Rifle" and now it is a "Calibrated Assault Rifle".[/]
[]In case you want to inject weapons into leveled lists you could use my Leveled List Injector Script, also included in Leveled Item Fixes (LIF).[/]
[]Do weapons don't offer you enough options to modify/balance them? Then check out my other mod Equipment and Crafting Overhaul (ECO).[/]

[]The plugins will conflict with other mods trying to alter the same weapons. How severe those conflicts are depends on the mods in question and their extend in modifying stuff.[/]
[]If you're installing this into an already running playthrough keep in mind that the game needs a few in-game days to pass in order to populate NPCs with the new leveled item entries.[/]
[]All the plugins are ESL-flagged ESP files so they won't count against your ESP plugin limit.[/]
Can I update the mod mid-playthrough?
Yes, updates in a running play-through are possible and recommended unless the changelog specifically says otherwise. So, for your own good, form a habit of reading Patch Notes / Change Logs before updating

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge coverage: touches around 70 weapon mods, so it's a one-stop patch for a lot of content.
- Community trust: 1,158 endorsements and over 46k downloads show it's widely used and appreciated.
- Actively maintained: last updated June 2024, so it's likely compatible with recent mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires you to have many weapon mods installed to get the full benefit—if you only have a few, it might be overkill.
- No explicit install instructions in the description, so you might need to figure out load order on your own.
- Potential compatibility issues if you use mods not covered by this patch—you'll need to test carefully.
For modders who run a large weapon mod list and want them all balanced and integrated into the game world. If you're a completionist who wants every weapon to feel like it belongs, this is for you. Skip if you only use a handful of weapon mods or prefer vanilla balance.
💡 Beginner Tips
