📋 About This Mod
Description
Realistic Weapon Name Replacer changes the names of most ballistic, explosive and energy weapons to either their real world counterparts, lore friendly yet less generic names or things that made sense to me. Yes, this is done with a plugin. No, I will not make it a scriptrunner.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 117 endorsements and over 4,000 downloads.
- Works with TTW, a major overhaul, so it's useful for modded playthroughs.
- Simple concept: just renames weapons, no gameplay changes, so it's safe to add.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in October 2024, but no compatibility notes for the latest game patches.
- Only renames weapons—if you want new weapons or stats, this isn't for you.
For Fallout players who want more realistic or lore-friendly weapon names, especially those running TTW. Skip if you're happy with vanilla names or want gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the ESP in your load order after TTW and any weapon mods it supports to ensure names apply correctly.
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex to keep track of the plugin and avoid conflicts.
- If you're using other weapon mods, check the mod page for a list of supported mods to ensure compatibility.
