📋 About This Mod
First ever mod, made it primarily for the driveable Highwayman with a goal of replacing the "Repair Tire Iron" (since I couldn't stand looking at it knowing I could do something to make it less horrendous) but replacing the standard one also.
More insignificant weapon or clutter replacer mods coming in the future probably.
Install manually by extracting the data folder into your Fallout New Vegas directory ( SteamLibrary - steamapps - common - Fallout New Vegas ) or with a mod manager.
This mod replaces the vanilla Tire Iron in Fallout 4 with a higher quality model and 2k textures, addressing the original's ugly appearance. Version 2.0 includes corrected and updated textures. With 196 endorsements and 244,239 downloads, it's a popular visual upgrade for players who want a better-looking melee weapon.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (244k) shows it's a go-to fix for the ugly vanilla tire iron
- 2k textures are a solid upgrade without tanking performance
- Simple replacer—no compatibility headaches, just drop and play
⚠️ Cons
- Only 196 endorsements compared to downloads—maybe not everyone's favorite, but still solid
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it
- Last updated June 2025—might not be patched for future game updates, but likely fine for now
For Fallout 4 players who hate the vanilla tire iron's look and want a quick visual upgrade without gameplay changes. If you're a melee build or just like collecting weapons, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you want new weapons or gameplay tweaks—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, it will overwrite the vanilla tire iron—no need to worry about load order, just install and play.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid manual errors.
- Check the mod's files to see if there are optional versions (e.g., different texture sizes) before installing.
