Faction Gear Overhaul 2.6
The latest and biggest expansion of the Faction Gear Overhaul Mod. From un-leveling items, to swapping out weapons, my main goal with this mod is to make it the most intriguing leveling mod on the nexus
Here is a run down in what this mod does
1: Unlevels all armors, weapons, and weapon modifications (Except for armors used by the Institute Synths, Brotherhood Knights, and Minutemen soldiers)
2: Revamps the Brotherhood's Leveled NPC system so that all BoS soldiers are renamed to BoS Knight. The Brotherhood Paladin, Paladin-Commander, and Star Paladin NPCs however have been replaced by Legendary Brotherhood Paladins (BoS Knight NPC replacements were bugged and deleted in 2.6.5)
4: Standardizes the uniforms worn by Institute Synths and Brotherhood Knights that don't use Power Armor. All Gen 2 Synths now use full Institute Uniforms and heavy plated Synth Armor - so no more naked Synths with broken pieces of rubber skin running around the Commonwealth. As the Brotherhood Knights now use full sets of Brotherhood Combat Armor. All Lancers also have been renamed to Lancer-Knight with their own uniforms fixed up.
5: Upgrades weapons used by Companions so they're now useful. Cate and Handcock use large double barrel shotguns, and I gave Danse a automatic laser rifle, and replaced Nick's pipe revolver for a .44 revolver. (Nick's new gun bugged out in this mod and was deleted in 2.6.5)
6: Short Stocks on Hunting Rifles, Combat Rifles, Assault Rifles, Radium Rifles, Lever Action Rifles, Combat Shotguns and Laser Muskets have been removed and deleted. Giving players access to their full stocks in early game instead. Also removed Semi automatic receivers for the Assault Rifle, renamed it to the Machine Gun, and re-chambered it for Nuka World's 7.62mm Ammo. As the Combat Rifle and Radium Rifle have been re-chambered to use 5.56mm Rounds - and the .38 receiver for the Combat Rifle has been re-chambered and renamed to the .45 Receiver.
7: Danse in post Blind-Betrayal will now use standard T-60 power armor instead of X-01 Power Armor. I will admit I am not a fan of the X-01, and didn't understand how Danse could find such a rare suit of armor in a small nick of time.
8: Implemented weapons from Far Harbor and Nuka World into vanilla game leveling lists. Most noticeable being Diamond City Security are now armed with Handmade Rifles - which all have been renamed to Handmade Assault Rifles - as well as the Neighborhood Watch, Raiders, Triggermen, Gunners and so on.
9: All Minutemen Soldiers now use Colonial Dusters - the same coat used by Preston Garvey - as their standard issue uniform. They also have the chance to spawn with either the Minuteman Hat or Militia Hat as well.
10: Renamed the Vault-Tec Rep to Steve. Don't ask why, but he needed and deserved a name for himself. Give Steve some love, everyone. He had a hard time. (Was meant to be in 2.5, but fixed it in 2.6)
11: Increase the amount of ammo you find in vendors and looted bodies and chests.
12: All Children of Atom in Far Harbor use CoA Marine Combat Armor.
13: Increased damage output of some of the weapons. Most noticeably the Submachine gun - which I scaled from 13 to 23. So it can outclass the Pipe Guns without becoming stronger than other rifles that use 5.56, 7.62 or .308 rounds.
Disclaimer
This mod is not compatible with mods that effect Level Listings or Outfits. Want this mod to work? Then you'll need to put it right at the bottom of your load order. Especially if you're using Unleveled Items mod.

I also use a lot of retexture mods for the Minutemen and BoS uniform mods. Not a fan of their vanilla colors. This is what I recommend
1. Minutemen reskin and standalone

2. 4k Combat Armor Retexture (2k version)
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7381/?
3. Brotherhood of Steel Kit (2k version. Install this AFTER 4k combat armor)
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2066/?
4. BOS Uniform (Recolors for Male and Female. Black and grey with BOS Hood included the one I like to use the most out of them all. Install this AFTER Brotherhood of Steel Kit mod in order to override that mod's Uniform rexexture)

5. Marine Armor boots
