====================
A LONG STORY SHORT:
=======================
When i was making this mod, i wanted just make those lazyass uniques (named Legendaries) by Bethesda to be worthwile to get. UNIQUE UNIQUES, MORE UNIQUES and EXTENDED MODS came to the rescue with their assets, which motivated me to make even a several of my own. Outstanding mods, but there were moments which did not suit for my taste. So i used THE BEST of three worlds and added it to vanilla unique items, changed/tweaked/fixed a lot of effects, added a lot of new ones including models, balanced them to be not overpowered but interesting to use and helpful in gameplay. Say hello to VUWR.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,727 endorsements and over 90k downloads — clearly a well-loved overhaul.
- Covers nearly all unique weapons including DLCs, so you get a comprehensive upgrade in one mod.
- New legendary effects and visual mods make unique weapons feel genuinely special instead of just stat sticks.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — may have compatibility issues with current game versions or other mods.
- No detailed changelog or compatibility notes provided, so you'll need to test with your load order.
- Requires all DLCs (Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World) to get the full effect — base-game only players miss out.

- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily enable/disable and manage conflicts.
- If you don't own all DLCs, the mod may still work but some weapons won't be affected — consider that before installing.
