About

This mod replaces vanilla combat shotguns or double barrel shotguns with Utherien's Mossberg 500 weapon mod

Replaced weapons will spawn with the following modifications:

• All replaced weapons will be named "Mossberg 500" in-game and will follow the instance naming conventions
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random Non-Custom receiver (Worn, Cleaned, or Factory Condition)
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random barrel
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random magazine
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random stock
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random iron sight
• Replaced weapons may spawn with a random rail attachment (Standard, Ghost Ring, or none)
• Replaced weapons may spawn with a random optic
• Replaced weapons may spawn with the front rail attachment on or off
• Replaced weapons may spawn with a left rail flashlight attachment
• Replaced weapons may spawn with a right rail laser attachment
• Replaced weapons may spawn with the heatshield attachment on or off
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random ammunition modifier
  

Installation

1. Download and install: Mossberg 500 Pump-Action Shotgun v1.0b by Utherien - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/46120

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

3. Install this mod. Select the replacers you want in the installer and click finish

4. 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.
