About

This mod replaces vanilla assault rifles, combat rifles, plasma guns, or laser weapons into the M4A1 weapon mod by WarfightersWorkshop

Replaced weapons with the following modifications:

• All replaced weapons will be named "MW M4A1" in-game and will follow the instance naming conventions
• Replaced weapons will spawn with either the "M4A1 Automatic" or "Task Force" receiver
• Rare weapons will spawn with either the "Zip Tie" or "Florin" receiver
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random barrel (Standard, Corvus Custom Marksman, Stock M16 Grenadier, FSS 12.4'' Predator, FSS 14.5'' Taclite, Task Force, or Polytype)
• Rare weapons will spawn with either the "Zip Tie" or "Florin" barrel
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random stock (Standard, No Stock, Forge TAQ CQS, M16 Stock, Singuard Arms Invader, or Task Force)
• Rare weapons will spawn with either a "Zip Tie" or "Florin" stock
• All replaced weapons will spawn with a random magazine
• All replaced weapons will spawn with a random scope/sight
• All replaced weapons will spawn with iron sights disabled
• All replaced weapons will spawn with a random stowed rear sight
• All replaced weapons will spawn with no muzzle attachments
• Rare weapons may spawn with a random lower rail grip attachment
• Rare weapons may spawn with a random upper rail laser attachment
• Rare weapons may spawn with random perks
  

This mod includes changes to super mutant leveled lists. When selecting any plugin that replaces assault rifles, super mutants that spawn with assault rifles will instead spawn with a pipe gun at all scalable levels. 

Optional plugins are included that completely override Super Mutant leveled lists and gives them either melee weapons, miniguns, or missile launchers. Place the Super Mutant Leveled List Override esp very low in your load order to allow it to win any leveled list conflicts

Installation

1. Make sure Fallout 4 is updated to version 1.10.162 or higher

2. Download and install: MWM4 - M4A1 v1.0 and update v1.5 by WarfightersWorkshop:  https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/45174

• If you want to use the MWM4 M4A1 Updated Animation Pack, install that now as well
  

3. Make sure the esp for that mod is activated and all the assets from it are in your Fallout 4 data folder

4. Install this mod. Select the replacers you want. 

5. Done

Troubleshooting

1. Place the replacer esp(s) lower or last in your load order. It's possible you have another mod activated that is overwriting the replacer data or your mod manager is auto sorting the esp's in a poor configuration

2. If an NPC/Companion weapon is broken, you can individually update them by entering the console, selecting the NPC, and entering the "Resurrect" console command. You will have to do this one-by-one for each NPC. If the NPC/Companion isn't equipping their replaced weapon after the resurrect command, open the console, select them, then enter the "openactorcontainer 1" console command. You can use this console command to view their inventory and force them to equip their replaced weapon and ammo.

Uninstallation

Simply uninstall with your mod manager, but remember: the golden rule of modding is not to uninstall anything mid-game. This mod makes data changes that may be irreversible, so you may have to load a previous save that hasn't seen this mod.

Known Issues
