📋 About This Mod
Introduction
So after trying power armor for the first time and playing around with it for a while and after a while, I really felt the power armor was lacking something. Falling from long distances with little to show the impact it truly makes, I went off to nexus in search for a mod to change that. But did I find one? Unfortunately I did not. (As far as I'm aware) So I thought to my self, how hard could it be to do this myself? Well, after many botched attempts at creating exactly what I want, and more than a few sleepless nights later, I REGRET NOTHING.
The result of 2 weeks of work put into the added FX, and while not entirely complete in all interactions to all materials (which at the moment would be water, and probably wood), I am satisfied enough to warrant an initial release! I hope you enjoy my very first Fall Out 4 mod that I've created so far, as I definitely have.
