About this mod

Makes Nick Valentine a unique race (with dedicated textures etc) allowing complete customisation without unwanted side-effects.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This mod creates a custom race used only by Nick Valentine.

Having a unique race for Nick allows for someone with the appropriate modding skills to customise Nick to further extents than a mere retexturing...so in that aspect its as much of a mod framework as it is a mod.

I do not provide any models for drastic changes to Nicks appearance. What i do provide is a framework for those changes to be done in a quicker and easier manner...by having done most of the mule work =)

FAQ:
--------------------------------------


Never mind the framework mumbo jumbo...What does this mod offer?

Nick can be modified without affecting Institute Synths or NPCs..past, present or future
just as long as they don't override this plugins forms.

Nick has his own unique Fedora and Trench Coat. These can be crafted in the Armoursmith Bench under the "DAPPER" category and modified in the Armour Bench to change their colours.
A total of 13 Hat and 5 Coat variations...Nicks Vanilla costume is already craftable via AE.

Nick has his own unique set of Eye textures...there are 15 texture sets to choose from..with 13 glowmaps.
Obviously you can only pick one at a time.

Nick has his own unique (see where i'm going with this?) set of Skin (4 variants) and Head (10 variants)... again you can only install one set for each.
Obviously you can only pick one of each at a time.

Nick can wear all clothes that Armorsmith Extended allows for vanilla Nick to wear.
(REQUIRES ALL DLC - Offered as an install option via the fomod menu.)



Do i have to start a new game/ Will this break my game?

I was given the Eddie Winter quest while play testing this...so i'm going to say that he is working fine as a companion...and should work fine unless other mods overwrite the form in question.

Can i have your version of Nick Valentine wear my favourite piece of clothing?

Please ask your favourite mod authors to consider including my mod on their "comp patch" worklist if possible. I'm notorious for having a short attention span when it comes to modding games. If that can't be done...Post a request here including a url of the item you want added. If you are in luck and i'm still around, i will oblige.

Why have AWCKR & Armorsmith Extended as masters?

This plugin requires Armor Keywords & Armorsmith Extended mainly to allow the possibility of future updates in order for Nick Valentine to wear anything that mods which depend on AWCKR and AE allow other races to wear.

Is there a no DLC version?

No, for the exact same reasons Armorsmith Extended only does an ALL DLC version

Is there an Xbox version?

I am oblivious to Xbox modding and not keen to dip my toes in that pool.

Why is this under "Companions"?

Because there is no mod category named "Races"  *cough* make one Nexus *cough*
