I would love to see an optional replacer using this mod for Nuka (including DLC Nuka) and Vim bottles. I don't usually run really lore-centered playthroughs myself, and believe it would be awesome to see the white/red pristine cans as the replacer model for them.
While I understand that you don't run a lore-centered load order, that idea would pretty much break game logic since the Nuka-Cola bottles are the reason bottle caps are a currency.
The mod was 110% designed to not get in the way of any vanilla content, and is for all intents and purposes complete, so a replacer would be a no-go, specially since with its military oriented design it would make no sense. You can easily do it yourself in xEdit if you like, just replace the Nuka-Cola Can's FormID with the vanilla Nuka-Cola's FormID.
Bottle Caps could be replaced with the Ring Pulls from the cans, in Fallout: Tactics, people of Chicago drank from canned Nuka-Cola instead of Bottled Nuka-Cola, so Ring Pulls became the known currency in the area of Chicago instead of Bottle Caps after the Great War. Here's the source of the info. That said, I am not exactly sure if the Bottle Caps could be renamed to Ring Pulls, the models could still be replaced, though.
There's an IAF patch, but you'll see Purified Water instead. Not much of a bother since you basically just see the top of the can. I never got make much sense of IAF to see if I can change the can or not.
Yeah I'm aware of that option and I might just do that, afaik you need to create entirely new meshes if you want to actually change the appearance I know that this mod did it for a different retexture https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/53820

Good work there!
