However, if you'd like to contribute to this mod, you can compile a FOMOD version yourself, and you'll be credited on the description page. And thanks for the feedback.
However I have some questions about the name. If FOAM stands for "Fallout 4 Metamorphosis", where does the A come in? Also does this mean you're going to do other re-textures of various items, and merge them all into a singular "F.O.A.M" mod?
This could be what he was intending, however there are a few problems with this and why I didn't think this the reason initially.
1) "1337" speak can work in place of letters, but I'm not sure the other way around actually works. For example: It would look extremely odd if you typed out "leet" and said that it was actually one thousand three hundred and thirty-seven. Which would be the case here if that was what he was doing (since A would be standing in place of 4).
2) Secondly, I don't think articles can be used in an acronym. I'm not 100% on this, but generally I don't think you're supposed to include articles or prepositions when doing an acronym. So the "A" in "F.O.A.M" wouldn't make sense again.
So that's why I asked where the "A" came in, since I felt like maybe he forgot to include that in his explanation to doctrderp. Maybe he didn't and he just made a mistake. Or perhaps I'm actually wrong, and you can use an article in a acronym, and that "1337" speak can be used in the reverse. I'm not a linguist
