📋 About This Mod
A simple mod that uses the T-60 (or optionally then T-51) Power Armor meshes for the X-01 Power Armor, allowing you to use the better armor while still keeping the T-60 (or T-51) visuals.
Description:
: I have added an optional "T-51" version by request. I'm a bit more into "modding" again at the moment, and these kinds of model swaps only require 5 minutes of my time to copy+paste and rename a few files anyways! n.nU
I simply like the T-60 Power Armor meshes visuals much better than the X-01 Power Armor, and this mod simply allows you to use the better tier X-01 Power Armor while still keeping the T-60 visuals.
All I did was copy+paste and rename some of the mesh files! n.nU
All paints and such should work as if you were wearing the T-60 armor... I think. Havn't tested this fully.

Before and After Preview:
==================
How To Install:
Put the "meshes" folder in your "Fallout 4/Data" directory.
If you haven't already made the required .ini edits in order for the game to load loose files, here's what you do:
: As of the first game "patch", this process has changed!
You no longer need to amend the line to:
sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, sound\, textures\, meshes\, scripts\, music\, misc\, shadersfx\, interface\, programs\, materials\
... Instead:
- Open up Fallout.ini (for Windows, this is found at "C:\Users\<YOUR_NAME>\Documents\My Games\Fallout4"), and make the following changes to the section:
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
If you still have remnants of the old "fix" for forcing the game to load loose files in your Skyrim.ini file that I mentioned above, you should remove them.
Now all loose files should load properly! :]
I HIGHLY recommend you set both Fallout.ini and Falloutprefs.ini to "read only", or else the game (may) will revert your changes and/or make other changes you don't want without asking you first...
=====================
How To Uninstall:
Simply delete the files - the game will go back to using the default ones packed inside the various "Fallout4 - Textures.ba2" archives (yep, they're all scattered around, I had to dig through several different ones to find all of what I needed).
You should probably leave the .ini changes, though, as most mods will need them in order to function at all.
