📋 About This Mod

This mod turns appalachian forests into fantasy wonderland with glowing animated canopies and mysterious glows and fires everywhere!

Now fully compatible with my Spring in Appalachia mod! Also, I made a Winter in Appalachia version of this mod 

Please follow the installation instructions carefully and install the latest version of the mod before reporting any issues.

Installation

1. Extract the ba2 files from the main archive you've downloaded to your Fallout76/Data folder.

2. Check whether you've got the Fallout76Custom.ini file under Documents/My Games/Fallout 76 folder, and if not, create it.

2a. If you've just created the .ini file, you need to open it and input this string in it:

3. Find sResourceArchive2List = line under the  section of your Fallout76Custom.ini or type it down if there is no such line.

4. Add  " ,EF_M.ba2 ,EF_T.ba2" to the end of the sResourceArchive2List  line.

4a. If you've downloaded separate Glowing Ivy mod, add " ,Ivy.ba2, Ivy_M.ba2" to the end of sResourceArchive2List line.

4b. If you've downloaded separate grass module, add " ,EF_G_M.ba2, EF_G_T.ba2" to the end of sResourceArchive2List line.

4c. If you've downloaded Spring in Appalachia Edition version, make sure to add " ,EF_M.ba2, EF_T.ba2" to the end of sResourceArchive2List line AFTER SiA.ba2 and SiA_M.ba2.

Note: Only you will see this retexture in your game, other players will still see textures they have in their game, so it's just for your own aesthetic pleasure and screenshotting purposes.

Special thanks to vivec7 for teaching me how to create animations and light sources!

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to create the Fallout76Custom.ini file if it doesn't exist, and add the exact strings as instructed to avoid texture issues.
  • If you're using the Spring in Appalachia version, ensure the EF archives are listed after SiA archives in the .ini to maintain correct load order.
  • Since the mod is client-side only, test it in a solo world or private server to see the effects without affecting others.
