📋 About This Mod
Modifies the overcoats on the Lonesome Road Riot Gear so they hang straight rather than flaring out at the base. Update: Added optional files for default male and default female Courier Dusters. Required: Lonesome Road DLC. Works with all body types. This is replacer, so no special esp file or activation is needed. To install, uncompress and drop the Data folder in to your default Fall New Vegas directory. To uninstall, delete the \\data\\meshes\\nvdlc04 folder. I thought the flaring coats looked strange, so I slimmed then down so they hang more naturally. The female Riot Gear versions also have a little contour so they look like there is a girl inside. Because there is no skin showing, these will work with any body, including the original defaults. Optional Courier dusters for the default male and female bodies added as separate optional files, so you only have to download the one you want. Acknowledgments: Bethesda and Obsidian for the game. Tools used: Blender Nifskope

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite—over 2,100 endorsements and 76k downloads prove it's a trusted tweak.
- Does exactly what it says: makes the Riot Gear coat look more natural, no bloat.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the coat texture—if you wanted changes to the helmet or armor stats, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2011—might have compatibility issues with mods that alter the same texture.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're trusting the author's word on the look.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who love the Lonesome Road Riot Gear but find the original coat too flashy or stylized. If you're a texture purist who wants a more grounded look without touching gameplay, this is a quick win. Skip if you want armor overhauls or stat changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, make sure no other mod overwrites the same coat texture—load order matters if you use multiple armor mods.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's comments section for any user-reported compatibility notes with popular texture packs.
