📋 About This Mod

Nina's Actually Handmade Assault Rifle - Mesh/Model Replacer

This mod is a complete model replacement for the vanilla Nuka World 'Handmade Assault Rifle' and all its attachments which aims to actually make it look handmade. This mod is a mesh replacer only and contains no . ESP or . ESL files. As a mesh only replacer it is compatible with any mod that does not alter the meshes of the HMAR or its attachments. 

Works with OG or NG.

Compatible with Left-Handed (Vanilla) or Right-Handed Animations equally.

Built in compatibility with The Attachment Pack - By Dak & Co

======================================================================

Compatibility, Notes & Requirements

Requires Nuka World & Far Harbor DLC

Files are loose for maximum compatibility, that means that this will overwrite . BSA packed modifications. This allows for mods that only change stats of the weapons to still inherit the models. Mods which add entirely new attachments are very unlikely to connect properly without individually modifying them to fit.

The models are remixed from various vanilla assets with very few coming from the vanilla HMAR, so DLC skin packs will have very little effect, if any.

General HD weapon textures will improve the look. SavrenX's Weapon HD was used during development and screenshots.

Many assets used come from the pipe weapon family so Gmoi6's Scrap Metal Pipe Retexture works nicely if desired.

The images were taken using the pipe weapon recolor included in my Proper Pipe Guns - Revisited

Compatibility with The Attachment Pack is built in by default. If you don't use it, the unneeded files won't get in the way.

Most of the models from the pack were replaced with my own entirely, but I tweaked some of their models to work with mine where I could.

The Attachment Pack is NOT required -- but you will not see several additional new models without it.

======================================================================

I could write a wall of text as to why I personally think the HMAR was dead on arrival, but honestly? It just feels... Redundant.

Beyond a purist vanilla play-through, who is gonna use it? You can hardly go a single page on the 'weapons' mod category without stumbling across enough AKs, FakeKs and AK accessories to get an arms dealer to half mast on Sunday.

90% of which are nicer in some-if-not-all ways than the HMAR, several of which predate the Nuka World DLC.

And it doesnt even look HANDMADE. Stenciling so
