Lore:
Before the Institute had advanced gen-3 Synths to do their delicate surface tasks they had to send real humans above ground to conduct research by hand, and to protect such agents they developed the The Institute Expeditionary Suit (IEX). The IEX suit is the pinnacle of wasteland utility, providing armor and resistances against the harsh wastelands.

Details:
The base outfit itself is enough to completely neutralize minor radiation hazards from shallow water, and when worn with all items of the set provides near total immunity to radiation on par with industrial hazmat suits. A special context menu that can be accessed by equipping the outfit while in pip-boy mode will allow you to swap outfit styles anywhere any time, without the need for an armor bench.

The IEX mask acts as an advanced gasmask, light source, and is a platform for advanced tech modules, which can help an Institute agent navigate the less friendly elements of the wasteland. In addition the mask can be attached to the base outfit's belt when not being worn.

This mod is feature complete from the Nexus download, it's mechanics are fully functional. However I have also made available a 'skin pack' through Gumroad for free at gumroad.com/niero

-Every part of the mod is completely free
-The Nexus download is fully functional with 2k resolution for the three lore-friendly skins (Classic, Modern, and SRB).
-The extra skins in the Nexus download use low-res placeholders to give you a preview and keep file size down.
-The Gumroad download is "pay what you want", with a minimum of 0.00 USD.
-Meaning that every part of this mod is still free. No charges are required anywhere, and if you do choose to pay it is still considered a donation.
-There is a second texture download that ups the resolution all of the skins including the three base skins to 4k resolution.
-You do not need to give gumroad a real email address to access the download.





™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™

Q: Is this paid mods?
A: No, every part of the mod is still free. The fully functional mod is free right here on the Nexus, just like mods have always been. Gumroad considers anything with a zero minimum price a donation, which means even if you choose to pay for the pack you are still just donating.

Q: What is in the download at Gumroad?
A: Texture files pre-packed into a BA2. Installing the 2k or 4k pack is as simple as dropping the " - textures.ba2" in your fallout4/data folder.

Q: Do I need a Gumroad account?
A: Nope, Gumroad remembers what you've downloaded based on the email you give it. If you want to download something again later but don't remember the link you can make an account with the same email and it will show up at gumroad.com/library. Because the content is free you do not need to give Gumroad a real email address, the download link is provided on-site.

Q: Why do this if everything to do with the mod is free anyway?
A: Several reasons: This keeps the filesize down so people can get the mod quickly. People who don't care about the extra skins don't have to download an extra Gig of content. Gumroad also offers an uncapped bandwidth limit for all users (Nexus caps at 1024 kb/s for non-premium accounts), which is ideal for huge files like the 4k texture pack. This also streamlines donations for the folks that don't want to deal with paypal.
