📋 About This Mod
This is a version of the Real Weapon Mods 2 plugin that adds ownership to all appropriate placed weapon mods, and it also substantially reduces the total count of placed mods.
The original had lots of placements in lots of locations, making it really easy to find weapon mods, especially since you could just take them from under shopkeeper/hypothetical owners' noses. This version of the plugin will be better balanced, and more immersive.
Pre-patched for DMT, as all of the DM mods have been disabled, which is what the original DMT RWM patch did.
A few meshes with broken texture mapping have had their mesh edits removed, and a few meshes with bad texture paths have been fixed.
See this link vvv for a description of what the mod does in the first place.
