This veteran mod's time to retire may have arrived, at least where fairly recent hardware is available.
It adds a little much-needed color to the meds, but applies them to the same low-res textures from the vanilla game. As such, in-game the textures look strikingly out of place among hi-res retextured clutter from other popular mods.
At the time of writing, there is at least one mod that provides a hi-res retexture of the same assets, and the improvement over this one is dramatic. If your system can run with any of NMC's texture packs, I'd consider clintmich's alternative retexture or some equivalent.
Sorry if this comes off as mean. I honestly mean no offense.
@anicecupoftea This "veteran mod" has just been downloaded by me in 2021. As I have a modest rig, hi-res textures don't appeal to me and look out of place unless you hi-res almost everything else, and many of them don't look quite right to me anyway. And I much appreciate the higher-visibility colour this standard-res mod adds - in fact it's the reason I'm using it - whereas the hi-res mods you mention don't really add much colour. If people want hi-res there's plenty elsewhere for them. So, no offence, but you've wasted my time with your pointless comment & link.
I appreciate your feedback Streetyson, I'm happy to see someone still finds this old mod useful.
What you mentioned about things looking out of place unless you hi-res everything else is a fair point, it's called 'artistic consistency', and I can understand people not wanting to mix and match lower res stuff with higher res stuff. Also, not everyone has a super high end PC so these mods still see some usage even these days.
Looks nice. I'll DL it and check it out. One thing, though. Could you retexture the Radaway to look like it was issued in hospitals or somesuch. Make it look more official, not just a pack with "Radaway" scribbled on it.

Enjoy the mod, cheers.
