📋 About This Mod
"Moo! Moo, I say!" ################################### #### Brahmin Variant Redux ################################### Filename: lexx_brahmin_variant.esp
## Version 2. 6 ## Description This mod is a remake of my old Brahmin Variant mod, released about 5 years ago (holy shit!). It visually expands the range of brahmin in the game: You will now be able to find healthy brahmin as well as sick brahmin. Additionally, the brahmin randomly spawn with either horns on every head, horns on only one head or no horns at all. All brahmin calfs do look a bit more like calfs now as well.
You can find & download the Fallout 3 release over here at the Fallout 3 Nexus.
That's it, pretty much.
Thanks for reading, thanks for playing and thanks for your (hopefully) coming feedback.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture/model mod, make sure to place it in your Data folder or use a mod manager like NMM or Vortex.

- If you're using other brahmin mods, load order might matter; put this one after to ensure its textures take priority.
