✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Brings a beloved FO4 outfit into FO76, giving you that classic detective vibe.
- Bodyslide support means you can tailor the fit to your character's build.
- Optional Piper replacer adds extra variety if you want that FO4 companion look.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 13 endorsements—this is a niche mod, so don't expect widespread testing or support.
- Replaces an existing outfit, so you lose the original Trench Runner's Coat look unless you revert.
- As a port, there's always a risk of clipping or texture issues in FO76's engine—check the comments before installing.
This is for FO76 players who miss the iconic DC ScoopDigger from Fallout 4 and want to wear it in Appalachia. It's also for fashion-focused players who enjoy customizing their outfits with Bodyslide. If you're not a fan of the Trench Runner's Coat or want a fresh look, this is a solid choice.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Trench Runner's Coat unlocked in-game, as this mod replaces that specific outfit.
- If you use Bodyslide, build the files with your preferred body preset to avoid clipping.
- Since it's a port, test it in third-person view to check for any visual glitches before committing.
