📋 About This Mod
Another needlessly high resolution retexture for an item that nobody is even going to use. I have a problem....
Have you ever been using the switchblade an..... No? Nobody uses the switchblade? Hmmmm...
Ok, have you ever been looting an area and occasionally you see a switchblade sitting on a shelf and thought that maybe it needed a high resolution retex....
Uhhhh... well I made one anyways! It also comes in an optional rusty version just to drive home the fact that nobody uses the switchblade!
I need to figure out something better to do with my time...
Install Instructions:
Unzip and throw into your data folder, simple as that.
Or, if you're a chem injecting, caravan raiding, finger snapping kind of guy (or girl) than you can just download with manager and that'll probably be much more straightforward.
Requirements:
It would probably help to have Fallout New Vegas installed or else the mod won't work. But something tells me you know that already. :P
AgeofEvolution (Me): I did it....
Obsidian: Who originally did it.

- Check your load order if you have other switchblade mods to ensure this one takes effect.
