1. 3: - Various tweaks, fixes and clean up. - MNTL-EWSP.esp now requires Dead Money DLC (Holorifle) - New video.
Notes: - You do not need to use MNTL-EWSP.esp but i recommend it, it adjusts sounds for the better and adds custom Tesla-Beaton Prototype and Tri-Beam Laser sounds. - If you are using GRA you need to enable MNTL-EWSP.esp(first) and MNTL-EWSP-GRA.esp(last) or GRA variants will not work properly.

- Make sure to check if the mod is compatible with any other sound mods you have, as overlapping files can cause conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, you can install it directly and let the manager handle file placement.
