From the author of WMK and WMX - WARS is the third in a trilogy of weapon overhaul mods for the Bethesda Fallout games, and far and away my most ambitious.
WARS is the sister mod of PEACE. WARS for weapons, ammo and combat. PEACE for everything else. They can be used separately, but are designed to be used together. Between them, they make up a small constellation of core mods and patches, so here's a useful summary, with links:
WARS Main - WARS itself.
Files -> Main Files.
WARS - FIS - Custom Item Sorter INI - Config file for generating a sorting patch for FIS - The NEW FallUI Item Sorter, so that all WARS items get appropriate sorting tags.
Files -> Optional files.
WARS - NPC HP/DR/ER Normalisation Tutorial - FO4Edit scripts for normalising NPC HP/DR/ER across your installed mods, plus a short tutorial on how to use them. This is to stop NPCs and creatures from other mods from being bullet-sponges.
