📋 About This Mod
This mod is a relatively simple replacer for the skeletons in Old World Blues. No requirements and should be compatible with pretty much everything.
Yes, the old space suit is an eye sore, but that's a problem for another day.
Besides being a replacer, this mod also:
-
[]adds a spine to the suit so the skull is not simply floating
[
]adds an environment map to the helmet's dome[]makes small edits to the neck of the suit for visual improvement
[]edits bone weights to eliminate odd stretching and warping on the helmet and neck
Please consider this a modder's resource. You don't need to ask for permission to use it, for example, to replace the game's skeleton clutter, or to tackle replacing the space suit.

- Recently updated (September 2025), so likely works with current game versions.
- Lightweight and straightforward—just a visual upgrade, no bloat.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, make sure no other mod is overwriting the same skeleton files—use a mod manager to handle conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just install and enable it; no extra steps needed.
- Test it by fast-traveling to the Big MT and fighting a few skeletons to see the changes.
