📋 About This Mod
Ugly Roaches
This is a RadRoach texture replacer in 2k (2x vanilla resolution).
I just wanted to make them look closer to common household roaches (at least the most common type in my country)
The 3d model/mesh doesn't match that well to that type of roach, but I guess this at least adds more variety.
These textures are now included in Thirdstorm's Unique NPCs - Creatures and Monsters of the Commonwealth amazing mod.
Installation
For best results please use a Mod Manager such as Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex.
• Loose Files version:
1. Open your Fallout4.ini file found at 'Documents/My Games/Fallout4/Fallout4.ini" with a text editor such as Notepad.
2. Change the line that reads "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\" to read "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, textures\"
3. Download with preferred Mod Manager and install like any other mod.
• BA version:
1. Download with preferred Mod Manager and install like any other mod.
* If installing manually, extract the 7z file to your Fallout4 game
directory (ultimately placing a "textures" folder in your already
existing Data directory)
Manual installation is NOT supported nor recommended.
Compatibility
This is a texture replacer and as such it isn't compatible with other texture replacers that replace the same textures.

⚠️ Cons

- If you use other texture mods, place this one after them in your mod list to ensure it takes priority.
- Check the mod's file structure to ensure it matches your game version; if you're on the latest patch, it should still work fine.
