About this mod
A set of replacement textures for the basketball and basketball hoop that make both objects appear much cleaner.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
NOTE
This mod is now available on Bethesda.net and adds separate restored basketball and hoop items that can be placed at settlements. The Bethesda.net version no longer replaces all existing basketballs/hoops in the Commonwealth and can be used side-by-side with this one if desired.
DESCRIPTION
Have you built a basketball hoop at your settlement, but don't like how rusty it is? "Restored Basketball & Hoop" replaces the diffuse and specular texture for all basketball hoops with a set that has been redone to give a much cleaner appearance. Additionally, all basketballs have been enhanced with decreased dirt, as well as improved coloration and additional stripes for a more realistic look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does this mod change?
A: The diffuse texture for the basketball, as well as the diffuse and specular texture for the basketball hoop have been changed. The basketball hoop diffuse and specular textures were almost completely redone, while the basketball diffuse texture was just an enhancement to the existing texture. You can find the exact names of the files that have been modified in the INCLUDED FILES section above.
Q: Does this mod change the texture of all basketball hoops in the game or just the ones I build at my settlement?
A: Unfortunately, all basketball hoops appear to use the same model and texture, so this will affect all of them that exist in the game.
Q: Why does the basketball hoop still look a bit worn?
A: I have only modified the diffuse and specular textures in this release. Removing the rest of the worn look would require creating a new normal map, which I have not done before.
Q: Will this affect my saved game?
A: Texture mods should have no affect on your saved game files, though it can never hurt to create a backup of your saves before installing any mods just to be safe.
Q: Does this add any new functionality/features to the game?
A: No, this is simply an appearance/texture mod.
