📋 About This Mod
This mod now supports Tale of Two Wastelands! Thanks, Axer4!
Description: This mod adds Fallout 4 style Power Armor Frames to New Vegas.
- [] Just like in Fallout 4, wearing Power Armor without a Frame is impossible. You have to get a Frame from a merchant, an enemy in power armor, or find one of the broken ones placed in the world and fix it. If you are smart enough, you may even be able to build your own frame at a workbench. []When you get out of a Frame, it remains standing in the world where you left it. You are unable to carry it in your inventory. []Even without armor, getting into a Frame makes you stronger. []Built-in Power Armor Scaling. []Fully compatible with Powered Power Armor. []Weak characters shouldn't be able to even hold a Minigun - big guns are now impossible to use without Power Armor if you don't fit their Strength requirement. (Full Version Only) []Remote-controlled hands of Power Armor Frames are too clumsy for delicate movements - you can't use terminals, pick locks or use crafting stations in Power Armor. (Full Version Only) []Movement in power armor makes hydraulic sounds for that added walking tank feel.
- []Hold the Activate key to get out of a Power Armor Frame (just like in Fallout 4). []Save before getting out of a frame - the game might crash (although this happens very rarely and randomly - if it crashes, just load a save and try again). []Use NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash. It improves stability of the game with this mod a lot.
- []NVSE 5. 0. 2 []JIP NVSE Plugin 32. 00 + []Lutana's NVSE Plugin 17. 1 +
- []Actor effects on power armor are now much more stable. []Added sound to movement in power armor, based on P. A. M. S. for Fallout 4 (credit: ONIXer for the sound and permission to use it). []Added sound to falling in power armor, also based on P. A. M. S. []NPCs in power armor now visibly wear frames. []Frames no longer have hoods []Bugfixes
[]Fixed an oversight that made the mod incompatible with "alternate power armor training" mods. []
