📋 About This Mod
What is this?
This is an all in one of all of my current weapon mods and replacers that currently covers most of the ballistic weapons found in Fallout 3. I've also tweaked every weapon in this pack compared to the older mods, so some stuff is going to look different from before! I've also added some more goodies in the esms for people to play around with.
Why make this?
Mostly to make it easier for people to install, along with making it easier on myself to push updates to a single mod. Also in that regard all future weapon mods will be added here, so track this mod so you get informed about future updates.

How to install
INSTALL THE RESOURCE FILES FIRST. If you have TTW installed download that, otherwise use the FNV one. ONLY USE ONE FILE NOT BOTH TTW AND FNV, ONLY USE ONE. Once downloaded just like any other mod, drop this into your MO of choice and it should be pretty self explanatory. If you have Real Time Reflections installed you'll need the patch. You will need to also grab ISControl otherwise your sights will be misaligned.
If you followed a guide such as VNV or TBOT you should be all good to just download and go, just make sure that this mod overrides NVAO. If you've not followed a guide make sure that you have XNVSE, JIP and KNVSE, I'd also ask you to check out VNV/TBOT if this is your first time modding FNV.
So to quickly summarise how to install;
-
[] XNVSE - JIP - KNVSE
[
] ISControl[] MCM Extender
[] Resource file
[] Either TTW or FNV file
[] The RTR patch if needed
