📋 About This Mod


Description

Shield Expansion is a Shield Integration Project addon, focusing on bringing new paint jobs to the

existing shields added by the mod and tweaking a few small things. Most of the

original mod’s paint jobs are still available at the Armor Workbench, while new

ones are provided and made the default version. I tried to make the new paint

jobs fit in within the universe as much as I could, sometimes using concept art

references and existing in-game objects and their palette to achieve this.

Due note that some paint jobs are locked behind visiting places and completing certain quests, to

make things more interesting and add a small sense of progression and something

to show for your adventures, but most of them are intuitive enough to figure

out. There is also 1 new and unique shield added which I won’t spoil here, but

as small hint, they call these types of shields Tower.

      About Fallout Variety Expansion (FVE)

      FVE is a little project started by me, inspired by the likes of Spice of Life for New Vegas and

      Scavenger Armors for Fallout 3, as well as numerous modders expanding upon

      the games content with their wonderful creations. I’ve been modding for many

      years, but mostly kept my mods to myself for many reasons, but now I think I’ve

      got enough experience and the mods themselves are of good enough quality that

      others can enjoy them too.

      The project itself will be a series of mods, varying in size and scope, expanding upon various

      game areas and sometimes other people’s creations, with permission granted from

      the original authors. Although, at the moment, no new gameplay mechanics in the

      chain of mods are planned, this could change in the future.
