📋 About This Mod

The built in bsa extractor for MO2 is well known to corrupt random DDS textures if you ever use it. For example, if you've ever encountered the dreaded Create2DTexture crash from Fallout 4, then there's a 95% chance it's because you extracted an archive using MO2. This plugin reimplements the functionality, but correctly this time. No more corrupted textures.
