Armor Consistent (Optional File)
Armor Consistent is a plugin that fixes some of the problems I had with the naming schemes of metal armor & combat armor as well as some issues with unused textures, icons & minor bugs.
Compatibility:
- Compatibility is maintained w/ the same mods as the Main File. Should I find any issues I'll list them here.
- Book of Water/Book of Steel Compatible: ~ The textures display correctly, make sure to place Armor Consistent below Book of Steel.
What the current plugin does:
- Combat Armor naming has been adjusted:
'Combat Armor' hasn't been changed.
'Combat Armor, Reinforced' > 'Combat Armor Mk2'
'Combat Armor, Reinforced Mark 2' > 'Combat Armor Mk3' - Leather Armor naming has been adjusted:
'Leather Armor' hasn't been changed.
'Leather Armor, Reinforced' > 'Leather Armor Mk2' - Metal Armor naming has been adjusted:
'Metal Armor' hasn't been changed.
'Metal Armor, Reinforced' > 'Metal Armor Mk2' - 'Gecko Backed' armor from Honest Hearts reflects the changes to the above schemes.

GRA Weapons Consistent (Optional File)
Weapons Consistent changes the names of weapons from GRA & removes (GRA) & (Mad Bomber) tags while still marking them as unique.
Compatibility:
- Compatibility is maintained w/ the same mods as the Main File. Should I find any issues I'll list them here.
- WMX Compatible: ~ Use Labeled File
- Mojave Arsenal Compatible: ~ Put my plugin below Mojave Arsenal in your load order.
(I made Weapons Consistent alongside Mojave Arsenal, so I recommend you use it too.)
What the current plugin does:
- All Uniques & Grenades have GRA/Mad Bomber removed.
- All new weapons such as the Battle Rifle & 5.56 Pistol have GRA removed.
- Mods have been renamed to remove GRA, but they're marked GRA in their descriptions.

Note/To Do:
- Separate the male & female metal helmets into 2 different items. (Armor Consistent)
- Put the Chinese Stealth Suit's head wear fix in BenTweaks.
- If anyone can remodel the tier 2 combat armor (Combat Armor, Reinforced) & the Chienese Stealth Suit to have separate arms, I'd be able to fix their clipping in first person.
