About this mod

Adds a collection of constructible and customizable combination outfit-armors using outfits from the amazing The Mercenary mod by L0rd0fWar and PMC outfit/vest mod by EvTital et al., with some game/lore customization and character benefit options.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod adds new variants of the Private Military Company vest with some immersive and handy customization options, and provides some constructible mashup clothing/armors of the PMC vest with some of my favorite items from The Mercenary mod by L0rd0fWar. 

They incorporate the customization options from PMC Extended and the material customization options from The Mercenary Tex Edits mod.

Naturally this mod is dependent on these mods (and the resources they are dependent on), but these are great mods and well worth it in themselves. Also users of these mods are likely to be using them already. See the Required Mods list, please.

To be sure, I confirmed permissions with the original mod authors, via L0rd0fWar's general mashup permission given on their mod page and with confirmation through Gambit77 on behalf of L0rd0fWar, and from EvTital for the PMC mods.


The new items are:

-
2 new PMC Vest armors with the color swaps from the original mod as well as PMC Extended, AND now also:
Stimpak and Radaway on the vest with auto-function option
Functional Stealthboy
Medkit that can give you Medic perks
Toolkit that can give you Locksmith and Scrapper perks
Communications kit that can give you Local Leader and Inspirational perks
Functional pistol holster on the chest
Additional morale patch options
A Pip-Pad conveniently hung on the vest, for easy access, for those that use it
Lore-friendly ammo magazines in the mag pouches
Usable pistol holster on the side


- Customized The Rebel Jacket outfit:
Pistol holster added to left side that matches the PMC vest holster
Usable pistol holder on the right thigh
Right shoulder mesh tweaked to reduce clipping with many weapon stocks
Bags and pouches tweaked/shrunk
Optional left sleeve modification to accommodate Pip Boy
Customization options consistent with the vest mods

-
Customized Rebel Shirt and Mercenary Shirt outfits:
Can be worn under any torso armor of your choice

-
Combination Rebel/Merc Shirt and PMC Vest outfits:
To allow for easy one-favorites-button switching between outfits

-
Mercenary Gloves items:
For use with these outfits to eliminate clipping

- Holster items for the Glock pistol, the 1911 pistol, and the
Flare Gun

They are constructed at the Chemistry Station under the category: 
The Mercenary/PMC Custom Combos

Like so many other examples, I made this mod initially for myself but came to think it might be worth the effort to try and share it, because others might enjoy it too. I really love The Mercenary and PMC mods, they are a big part of my immersion in this game. I hope some others can get some fun from what I have done from them, too. 

Suggested Mods:
The 1911 pistol by DOOMBASED (I made these items because this is one of my favorites)
The UMP rifle by FX0X01(see above)
The Pip-Pad mod
Immersive Chem Benches by me, so it's more fun to craft things
Morale Patch Collection also by me, so you can choose ten patches you like the most
Chems retexture, which is a great mod and makes the stuff on the vest look even cooler


IMPORTANT NOTE #1:I have not made specific Female models for these items, because I play a male character. However, they seem to work ok as they are on female NPC's and armor racks. Please let me know what you find, and maybe someone would like to help with female armors or other body presets if anyone wants...?

IMPORTANT NOTE #2: You will need the suggested 1911, Pip-Pad, and UMP mods for the textures for those components. I have, however, provided an optional file for the 1911 and UMP as a quick fix if you need. (The Pip-Pad texture files are way too large to be worth it, if you don't use the Pip-Pad mod.)

IMPORTANT NOTE #3:I am still actually using older versions of some of the required mods in my playthrough that I use for making mods - but I did check that the associated Form ID's for the things this mod requires have not been changed in those mods' updates. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU SEE ANY ISSUES YOU THINK MAY BE RELATED TO VERSION ISSUES OF THE MOD DEPENDENCIES.

Wishlist, if I get time to improve on this and it looks like people would like more:
- More loadout options to provide additional cool gear and perks
- Some working knife holsters
- Some grenade options
- More pistols
- More magazine options
 -More chems
 -Survival gear, functional canteens, etc.
- Any cool ideas you folks would like to suggest


Never-ending thanks to:

L0rd0fWar for your amazing mod, and for your generosity
