📋 About This Mod
Modifies the overcoats on the NCR Ranger and HH Desert Ranger armors so they hang straight rather than flaring out at the base. Required: Works with all body types. Desert Ranger requires Honest Hearts DLC This is replacer, so no special esp file or activation is needed. To install, uncompress and drop the Data folder in to your default Fall New Vegas directory. To uninstall, delete the folders associated with the mod. I originally modified the coats in the Lonesome Road DLC, and had a number of requests to change the other ranger coats as well. The female versions also have a little contour so they look like there is a girl inside. Because there is no skin showing, these will work with any body, including the original defaults. Acknowledgments: Bethesda and Obsidian for the game. Tools used: Blender Nifskope
