📋 About This Mod
◆ ◆
MacCready is supposed to be 22 so I tried to make him look slightly more youthful.
Added a faded Gunner tattoo with a burn scar over it where he attempted to remove it.
I had wanted to make him a helmet resembling his one from Fallout 3 for quite a while but I'm very new to this kind of thing.
I've been using this for a couple of months and haven't experienced any issues so hopefully, you won't either.
Just a heads up though, If you wear the helmet with a longer hairstyle there will be clipping.
Please feel free to upload your own pics!

I know the saying is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But I fixed it anyway.
Since I released this I wanted to reduce requirements / clean it up a bit so I've done just that.
Requirements have changed for Versions 1, 2 & 3. Uninstall previous versions before installing the new ones.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
