ADDONS
Now for the interesting part, the addons. Addons come in a replacer and a normal version. The replacer version replaces the short scope of said weapon with a combat scope.
If you want to add Combat Scopes to these weapons, select the correct ESP and copy it to your fallout 4 data folder.
For example, if I want to add Combat Scopes to the Wattz Laser Rifle.
I then copy the "3dscopes-watzzaddon" if I have the ADD version of the mod, or, if I have the replace version, I copy the "3dscopes-replacer-watzzaddon" to the Fallout 4 data folder.
If a certain addon only has a 'normal' version, and no replacer version, just use the normal version.
Furthermore, meshes are needed. To keep it simple, just copy the meshes folder from the "05 - Addons" folder to your Fallout 4 data folder. you could just copy the meshes you needed...
To limit the number of ESPs used, these addons also come bundled in packs. One such pack contains addon patches for a set of weapon mods.
Same rule about version applies as with the normal addons, there is a normal and a replacer version.
ONLY INSTALL A PACK IF YOU HAVE ALL, I REPEAT, ALL WEAPONS IN THAT PACK INSTALLED.
Use the table below to determine which addons to copy.

NOTE: the 'by' indicates ONE of the authors of the mod. Might be the case that a mod was made through collaboration. For readability, and keyboard-laziness, I only listed one author.
