📋 About This Mod
Hey, I haven\'t played this game, not any other game in a few months. I am a full time student with two majors, and a full time job. I don\'t have alot of time on my hands. I hope someone writes me a PM if this does not work with the DLC. It works for 80% of the people out there and I don\'t have the time to track down and figure out why t doesn\'t for the 20% of you. Its more then likely a computer problem. I will update this if it is common knowledge that it does not work with the DLC otherwise, please consider this the final version. Sorry for any inconvenience... (INACTIVE) I am not actively playing this game anymore. Please read the comments section for help Hello all, I have just uploaded a beta on November 23, 2010 - I was written completely in theory and may or may not work, please report any problem you come across, or please inform me if it simply does not work.

Sorry to inform everyone, Fallout New Vegas was patched and it broke this, I am going to try a fix this tomorrow, but since I haven\'t even had the chance to play this since Sunday, I don\'t know what is exactly happening, if anyone know what happened please pm me so I can try to fix this, thanks. * IMPORTANT NOTE Unless something is completely broken to where most users cant use this file, I am taking a break from this and working on an actual mod for Fallout New Vegas, Hope you all keep an eye out for it, Its going to be called \"WMO-Weapon Mods Overhaul\", Fixing and adding new features to Weapon Mods!

So if you need any help with this or anything else involving mods, I have been doing it for a few years, I will be more than glad to offer you help.
