📋 About This Mod
Not much to it, really. It's just one texture. There are plenty of mods out there that change the 20 gauge to be yellow, and using WAP weapons alongside them looked inconsistent. This tries to fix that. A mod that's very similar to this already existed, but i wasn't happy with the quality of the texture edit, so I quickly made this. I thought I'd share it for anyone who might want it. I added Options for a brass base and a steel base.
This small cosmetic mod recolors 20-gauge shotgun shells to bright yellow, matching the SAAMI standard for this ammunition type. It's a simple visual tweak for Fallout 4 players who want easier ammo identification. With 247 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but well-received addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 247 endorsements and 70k downloads
- Makes ammo types instantly recognizable in inventory and world
- Recently updated (November 2025) — likely compatible with current game version
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects 20-gauge shells — other gauges remain unchanged
- Purely cosmetic; no gameplay or balance changes
For Fallout 4 players who want clearer ammo identification, especially those who use multiple shotgun types. Also for lore-friendly modders who appreciate SAAMI color standards. Skip if you want gameplay-altering ammo mods — this is purely visual.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, deploy the mod and ensure it loads after any texture overhaul mods.
- Check that you have the base game's 20-gauge shells — this mod only works if you have the relevant DLC or mod that adds them.
- Since it's a texture replacer, no load order conflicts are expected, but place it near other ammo texture mods for consistency.
