📋 About This Mod
Heaviin’s Desperado Cowboy Hat Retextured
Tired of being unable to role play as a true cowboy with such a low-res hat? Then I've got the fix for you! Other clothing and armor mods coming up soon as well.
This is an HD 2k retexture of the Desperado Cowboy Hat. The mod comes with 2k Diffuse and 1k Normals for the best balance between performance and visuals.
Installation
Simply install with a mod manager (Mod Organizer 2 is highly recommended) or put files in Data folder of NV folder and overwrite/replace.
Compatibility
This is a pure texture replacer without any esp so it shouldn’t cause any issues, just make sure to put it after other armor/hat retexture mods you’re using so that it doesn’t get overwritten. Compatible with Improved Desperado Hat by SciRika (infact, this mod was especially made for it!)
Thanks To
