📋 About This Mod
Minutemen General Retexture By Billyro Description:
This mod retextures the Minutemen General outfit in Fallout 4.
The changes are as follows: -Changed general colour scheme -Dark undershirt -More cloth-like material -Less dirt -Reduced cloth specularity -More prominent buttons -Regenerated normal maps to accentuate these changes
The outfit is in the default 2K resolution and affects both male and female versions of the armour.
Optional files:
Black Coat: makes the coat and pants black. Blue Coat: makes the coat blue. Brown Coat Dark Pants: makes the pants darker while retaining the brown coat. Brown Coat Dirty Version: adds some dirt and grime to the brown coat. Dark Blue Coat: makes the coat dark blue like the original. Green Coat: makes the coat darkish green. Grey Coat: makes the coat grey. Olive Coat: makes the coat olive coloured. Red Coat: makes the coat red. Not lore-friendly. Tan Coat: makes the coat tan coloured like the generic Minutemen. White and Black Coat: makes the coat white, and the pants and collar black. White Coat: makes the coat white like Preston Garvey's.
Miscellaneous files:
No Star Decal: removes the star on the chest-piece. Also affects the combat armours. Shinier Buttons: makes the buttons a bit shinier so they "pop out" more against the cloth. Shiny Combat Armour: my custom tweaks for the combat armour (it affects the chest-piece too).
Compatibility:
Will overwrite any other texture mods that affect the Minutemen General armour.
Known Issues:
The top button on the coat gets stretched a little bit. This is a mesh issue and cannot be resolved until the tools are available to fix it.
Installation:
The standard procedure. If you're unfamiliar with installing mods, watch this (manual installation) or watch this (NMM installation).
Permissions:
Please notify me if you want to use these textures, and make sure to give credit. Other than that, go wild.
