📋 About This Mod
Paintable Helmets
Ever wondered why you can paint Power Armor but not Mining Helmets, Batting Helmets, or Hard Hats? No? What do you mean you don't care? Regardless, now you can!
Auto helmet naming! Finding a pink mining helmet in that disgusting mess that is your Sanctuary workbench has never been easier!
Paintable Batting Helmets! Bethesda added textures and materials for Green and Red batting helmets, but never added them in the game.
Combinations! Just like Mining Helmets you will find all the color variants randomly in game.
* only applies to new or newly modified mining helmets.
Compatibility
It should be compatible with any mod that does not modify the Mining Helmet or the Hard Hat.
An Armorsmith Extended compatibility patch is included in the fomod installer. Removed due to it being awfully outdated.
Made with fo4edit.
