📋 About This Mod
I do not currently have F:NV installed on my PC (run out of HDD space). So if anyone would like to take screens that show off the new textures I would be happy to feature them! This release includes materials provided by Cabal120, check him out: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/users/571605 Replaces all combat armor and helmets in the default game including: Standard Van Graff\'s Also available are retextures for the combat armor added by DLC: Lonesome Road US Army Combat Armor - (Requires Lonesome Road to be installed) 4096x4096 diffuse textures, 2048x2048 normal/specular maps. 2048x2048 diffuse textures also available, download one file OR the other, you only need one of the main files. Recently, Cabal120 gave me permission to finish up and release the work he started on the female variant of FO3 and FNV\'s combat armor. I scratch built the helmet and the male version of the armor using the extremely impressive diffuse, specular and env maps he had worked on to guide the style. I then created the normal maps for both and recoloured and added the details for each type of combat armor. Same as all other retextures, extract to Data folder, enable archiveinvalidation.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 4,192 endorsements and 237k downloads—clearly a go-to for texture overhauls
- Covers all default combat armors, so you get a consistent visual upgrade without hunting for individual mods
- Made by two well-known modders (EmeraldReign and Cabal120), so quality is likely solid
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012—over a decade old, so it might not be optimized for newer hardware or mod setups
- Only affects default combat armors; if you use custom armor mods, they won't get this texture treatment
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a quick, high-res upgrade to the vanilla combat armor without changing gameplay. If you're a texture enthusiast who values visual fidelity and don't mind an older mod, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for new armor models or gameplay changes—this is purely a texture replacer.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture replacer, make sure to place the files in your Data folder and enable the mod in your load order (e.g., via Nexus Mod Manager or FOMM).
- If you're using other texture mods, check for conflicts—Bornagain Combat Armor only replaces combat armor textures, so it should play nice with most mods, but always test.
- Consider using a mod manager to easily uninstall if you decide you don't like the new look.
