📋 About This Mod
Spent a bit more time on this, turned out really well I think. Looks a bit boring in first-person view, but I guess that's Obsidian's fault for modelling it like a block :(

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Adds crisp detail to the LMG without changing stats
- Easy to install—just drop the files in your Data folder
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011—may not be compatible with newer mods or DLC

For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a sharper-looking LMG without messing with gameplay. If you're a texture junkie or use the LMG often, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for new weapons or gameplay tweaks—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the texture files in your Fallout New Vegas Data folder, typically at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data.
- If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2, you can install this mod with a single click—just download and activate.
- Since this mod is from 2011, check if you have any other LMG retextures that might conflict; load order usually doesn't matter for textures, but overwrite order does.
