📋 About This Mod
MOD DESCRIPTION: Ok, this is going to be a work in progress(WIP), because I really wanted festus damaged, but not as damaged as he originally was. But I dont want him so repaired as if he was brand new. Since I am editng the meshes, and moving things around which were well, not even being looked at take the EYE hanging for example... It was there, but referencing a black hole. Why... IDK, but I moved that around to the eye socket now it hangs down with the colored eye. Patched up his Clothes a bit, but still left them worn. Took out some of the bullet holes in the case, and festus himself.
Sooner or later I really want the arm either gone, or put back on. Maybe Replace the Glass with real glass maybe broken or least chicken wire glass IDK. As soon as I teach myself a little more basics wise to do some of these things, I will add them may take time, but this far, at least himself is cleaned up.
So it does include a mesh for festus as well as a normal map as well to remove the bullet holes which would show up in the stock map. I dont normally include normal maps because the stock ones usually work fine for my texture edits(plus it saves time and size when UP/DOWN loading)
FEATURES: Re-Texture and Small Mesh Fixes of the original?
REQUIREMENTS: Fallout New Vegas?
POSSIBLE ISSUES/MOD INTERACTIONS: None as far as I know how would it?
MOD CONFLICTS/ISSUES: None as far as I know how would it?
INSTALLING: Just do what you normally do for Textures. Personally I just use my MO to install them.
TO UNINSTALL or, Ugh! I hate this mod, how do I get it out of my game?: Uninstall how ever you normally uninstall a Texture?
MOD RECOMMENDATIONS: (These are mods I highly recommend for both their quality and because I believe they complement gameplay with anything...that I have in my game. Repairs and Fixes: - 4GB Fallout New Vegas / And LAA Version of it by MonochromeWench - Hendricks266 - Roy Batty / by carinth01 - A very big sanity saver for me. Highly recommended. LAA did something else with the 4gb and it is even smoother. - New Vegas Stutter Remover by Macintroll - Another sanity saver. I very much dislike lagging, stuttering, slow downs, uneven performance, etc. - Zan AutoPurge Crash Protector by ZanGS - Helps out a lot on the CTD's in a major way! - Performance Of The Gods by SkyRanger-1 - Gets rid of non-modded INT/EXT static trash on the ground. Improves performace, & finding caps! - Better Gam
