📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes and tweaks some things with We Are The Minutemen by TheFirstEnD.
I've also made a Power Armor expansion for what kinds of Power Armor the Minutemen can wear.
This is with help from the MMP4APA - Minuteman Paint for ALL Power Armors (Gray or Blue) mod by invock. I've used that mod's paint schemes for the Power Armor in this mod.
There are some Patches/Addons for other mods, as well.
Tweaks and Fixes
- Fixed the Minutemen Bag and Backpack Meshes.
The Model File Names were incorrect.
Removed as of v1. 3 as it's fixed in the newest version of We Are The Minutemen by TheFirstEnD.
- Made it so you can't wear the Minutemen Bag, Backpack, or any Gloves with the Hazmat Suit.
I thought it looked kind of odd to have that big respirator on your back AND a bag full of stuff hanging off the same place, so I changed the equip slots they use.
I added the Ring and FX slots to the Hazmat Suits, so you won't be able to wear a wedding ring while in the suit, or double up on gloves anymore.
Gloves on your Gloves. Warm, but weird.
Removed as of v1. 3. Thought it was
unnecessary.
- Tweaked the Faction relationships between the Minutemen and a few others.
I was having a bug where my Minuteman Companions would attack non-hostile turrets, like the ones in Virgil's cave or Barney Rook's turrets in the quest Gun Run. This fixes that bug.
Please let me know if you experience any unexpected behavior relating to faction hostility, or lack thereof. I'm not really knowledgeable about how factions work in xEdit. I took a kind of broad brush/blunt force approach, so I may have overstepped and not accounted for some scenarios.
-
Gave all of the Minutemen NPCs (Vanilla and W. A. T. M.) the Aquaboy and Aquagirl perks.
I gave them these perks to stop them from dying from radiation when going into water.
Yes, it's really not immersive, but sometimes they just prefer to swim, if it's a faster route.
This was a problem especially for the Minutemen Companions, as going even remotely close to water would make them want to take a dive... to their deaths...
- Reduced the Carry Weight bonuses of the Bag and Backpack by half.
I felt they were previously kind of overpowered.
- Tweaked the Settlement Ra
