    []Replaced weapons will spawn with the Standard Receiver

    []Replaced weapons will spawn with a random stock (Full Stock, Short Stock, or Recoil-compensated Stock)

    Installation
    1. Download and install: Benelli M3 Super 90 by GaigeStorm - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22344

    2. Make sure the esp for that mod is activated and all the assets from it are in your Fallout 4 data folder

    3. Install this mod. Select the replacers you want in the installer and click finish

    Troubleshooting
    1. Place the replacer esp(s) lower or last in your load order. It's possible you have another mod activated that is overwriting the replacer data or your mod manager is auto sorting the esp's in a poor configuration

    2. If an NPC/Companion weapon is broken, you can individually update them by entering the console, selecting the NPC, and entering the "Resurrect" console command. You will have to do this one-by-one for each NPC. If the NPC/Companion isn't equipping their replaced weapon after the resurrect command, open the console, select them, then enter the "openactorcontainer 1" console command. You can use this console command to view their inventory and force them to equip their replaced weapon and ammo or force them to equip another weapon altogether

    3. Take the replaced weapon to a weapon workbench and re-craft the weapon parts. Crafting a new receiver usually opens up the parent slots for the weapon

    Uninstallation
    Simply uninstall with your mod manager, but remember: the golden rule of modding is not to uninstall anything mid-game. This mod makes data changes that may be irreversible, so you may have to load a previous save that hasn't seen this mod.
    Known Issues
    - The reload script isn't functioning on replaced weapons and there are some issues with reloading where you must aim-down-sights first before you can reload.
