📋 About This Mod

This mod will:

- Replace the Glowing Wendigo skin with the one used by Camp Councilor Nia, which is largely hidden by her outfit.

- Replace the standard Wendigo Colossus with the one used by Earle Williams. (images not shown by mod).

File size is 1. 41KB

In your Fallout76Custom.ini, add "BetterWendigos.ba2" on the line:

sResourceArchive2List=

sResourceArchive2List=BetterWendigos.ba2

Note: this will not replace the Wendigo Colossus Skin Rug. Sorry, that item is mapped completely different than the NPCs. This will, however, make the Wendigo Colossus Vocal Sac pink instead of yellow.
