📋 About This Mod

What you get:
-
[]2 new custom barrels (Tactical/Assault, Sniper)
[
]2 new fire modes (Burst, full auto)[]4 beautiful custom 4k skins (3 new, and an overhaul of the default)
[]1 new scope (5x, 10x)
[]Custom add-ons (support, nozzle, laser, silencer)
[]All new models (By Deantendo)
[]All new meshes, textures, and esm (By SpoopySauce1)
Designed to be late game and expensive.
Costs maxed out skills and high-end parts.
Note:
Due to a game limitation, we can't list more than 1 skill requirement.
This requires Internal Mods 3.
If you have texture problems with 1. 1. 1:
Edit starfieldcustom.ini and add the following line if it does not already exist under the category (add that too, if it's not there)
sResourceIndexFileList=InflictorEnhancedTextures.ba2
If you already have this line with other mods, add a comma then add the InflictorEnhancedTextures.ba2 at the end
Who did what:
Deantendo - Concept and 3D things
Vnomali - Literally everything else
Logman77 - Updated the mod to be compatible with the May update (mod version 1. 1. 1)
SentinelLyons - December 2024 update
We'll be adjusting things as we go, so feedback would be appreciated.
We plan to make extra skins. 3 have now been added.
UPDATE 1. 0. 2 INSTRUCTIONS VERY IMPORTANT (does not apply if you are using the latest version 1. 1)
If you are updating this mod from an earlier version, the fix for NPCs and Inventory/Display has reset the form IDs.
BEFORE updating you must switch everything to vanilla mods and save or else those mods and mod categories will be completely missing when you load it up.
There is no way to get around having to do this, but we are very happy that it is finally working correctly.
If you are updating from version 1. 01 you only need to replace the esm. If you are updating from version 1. 0 there are mesh changes so you should replace everything.
Huge thanks to Gambit77 for coming up with this fix
