📋 About This Mod
I noticed that the armor used by the NPC's in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam are of a lower quality compared to their normal counterparts (Even some NCR Rangers around the dam use these). I'd imagine this is for performance reasons particularly in regards to the console version. Considering we are now in 2024, this should no longer be an issue. Additionally, Uncut Wasteland also has some npc's that use the low quality armor variant and so this mod will replace the armor for them as well.
I have replaced the low quality versions with the higher quality normal counterparts by changing the filepaths for the model, all through the use of JIP LN NVSE scriptrunner functions.
