== DESCRIPTION ==
This mod replaces the default booze bottles with classy real-world replicas, carefully selected to be timeline-correct. The mod is divided into 3 preset packs for easy installation, plus a FULL BAR pack for custom mixes. (Though one should obviously never mix alcohols in real life!)
The CLASSIC PACK contains old-school Fallout designs reimagined from those tiny images we all know and love: Gamma Gulp, Roentgen Rum, Rotgut, and Booze.
The MAINSTREAM PACK is made of what I consider the more popular choices: Budweiser, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and Smirnoff.
The ALTERNATIVE PACK is for those who want slightly less-obvious brands in their game, namely: Blatz, Crown Royal, Black Velvet, and Prestige.
The FULL BAR set contains all the above plus two additonal whiskey options (Jack Daniels and Black Velvet swapped items) all divided by item type, for the ultimate in booze customisation!
Finally, use the WINE ADDON pack to add replacement textures for the wine bottle, a choice between house white or red (green bottle or burgundy.)
NEW in VERSION 0.2b!
Through the kind contribution of odin_ml, the Better Booze mod now comes with an optional bottle mesh addon that makes all the bottles much rounder. No more hexagonal bottles!
Enjoy!
