No more bright lenses!

If the glasses in your game look a little too bright then this is the fix for you.
I tried many other glass edits on the Nexus and none of them seemed to edit the material files used by the clear glasses in the game.

I achived this by editing the alpha values in the material files used by the lenses of the glasses. This method should maintain some level of change in the shading in different lighting unless you are using the 0% file.


I've added 4 flavours for you to choose from:

75% - 75% of the vanilla value. Only a very minor change.

50% - 50% of the vanilla value. Mostly clearer, but still light in shadows.

25% - 25% of the vanilla value. This is the one I'd recommend for most. Has the best balance between transparency while still seeing a difference under lighting.

0% - Completely transparent glass. Glasses will look clear regardless of the lighting.

(Optional) Custom Sunglasses - Tweaked material file just for the sunglasses. If you don't like any of the percentage changed options or the vanilla sunglasses, then give this a go. Should minimise the reflection and brightness, while maintaining the tint of the lenses.


Install:

Pick one of the main files
Download with mod manager of choice and load after any conflicts
Download and extract file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4" overwriting if needed

If downloading the optional file, let it overwrite any of the main files.

Safe to install and uninstall at any time.


Compatability
:

As these are just material file changes, these should be compatable with any texture mods
Mods that edit the meshes of the glasses ingame may or may not be compatable, It just depend on wether they use their own material files.

These changes apply to any ingame items that use the eyeglasses.BGEM and glasses.BGEM files, aswell as other mods that use them.
Tested with Rubys Round Glasses by KillMomo changes applied nicely to these.

Texture pack I use: Fallout 4 HD Overhaul
ENB: REACTOR - A FALLOUT4 ENB
Weather: NAC X - NATURAL AND ATMOSPHERIC COMMONWEALTH 10 - Legacy Edition
Other Lighting mods: Ultra Interior Lighting, Ultra Exterior Lighting, Enhanced Lights and FX, ELFX and UIL Merged Patch, Fr4nsson's Light Tweaks - Bloom Remover only
