📋 About This Mod
Recipes for Weapon Mods by DSoG_Sergeon Description: ------------ With this modification you can create all weapon mods, no need to wait until they\'ll become available at stores. Most of the components are just a common garbage (scrap metal, scrap electronics, tin cans etc), but some are actually rare (chainsaw for example). There\'s two versions - \'S\' (Simple, all mods could be created without any additional effort) and \'R\' (Realistic, to create mods you need lenses and tools). Modification supports not only original game but also five mods (Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, Gun Runners Arsenal). Thanks to modular structure you can combine different versions (like for example using Original_S, DeadMoney_R and not using OldWarBlues at all). Also you can download WMR_WMX for for Weapon Mods Expanded (WMX) by antistar: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39651 To install: ----------- Choose required ESP file(s), put it (them) (as well as ESM file) in your Data folder, then check this file(s) in Launcher.
