About

This mod replaces vanilla combat rifles, hunting rifles, laser muskets, lever action rifles, or pipe bolt action guns with the Springfield Armory M14 by SalientPhantom. All files are ESL-flagged ESP's

Replaced weapons will spawn with the following modifications:

• All replaced weapons will be named "Springfield Armory M14" in-game and will follow the instance naming conventions
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random receiver chassis (Blackfeather "RS", Sage International M14 MOD 1, Troy Industries SASS)
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random barrel
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random stock
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random pistol grip
• Replaced weapons will spawn with a random magazine
• Replaced weapons may spawn with a random foregrip
• Common weapon drops and loot will spawn with a pool of selected reflex sights or iron sights. Rarer weapon drops and loot will spawn with the full array of reflex sights and scopes
• Common weapon drops and loot will spawn with no rail attachments. Rarer weapon drops and loot may spawn with flashlight or laser sight attachments
  

Compatibility

- Plugins are available that are compatible with Tactical Reload Framework by Bwones and the EFB - Springfield Armory M14 - Tactical Reload Supports by Shawnee1222

Installation

1. Make sure Fallout 4 is updated to version 1.10.163 or higher

2. Download and install: Escape From Boston - Springfield Armory M14 v1.0 by SalientPhantom: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/61392

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 in the installer and click finish

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

- None so far
