📋 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.
