Nexus Mods doesn't have a News or Poll feature, so I'm trying this out to see if people tracking my mod get notified.
Question for you guys: Should I make my own weapon mods for the guns in this pack?
Right now, I'm repurposing base-game mods such as the 9mm Pistol Scope and 10mm Pistol Suppressor for various weapons and the descriptions may not match the effects. The Naval SMG uses the Sniper Rifle Carbon Fiber Parts, for instance, and instead of reducing weight, when applied to the SMG, it decreases spread. Also, making my own mods would cut down on the base-game vs. GRA version confusion for some mods (i.e. the 12.7mm SMG SIlencer and the 12.7mm SMG Suppressor), but could potentially cause confusion with other mods that rename base-game mods (i.e. 9mm Pistol Scope >> Red Dot Sight, 10mm Pistol Silencer >> Pistol Suppressor, etc.)
So, should I create my own weapon mods? I'll continue to use base-game mods where they make sense (i.e. the Hunting Rifle Scope for sniper-type weapons) but create new ones where they're needed (i.e. a 12-Gauge Shotgun Suppressor where before I was using the 12.7mm Pistol Silencer). Sound off in the comments to this article if you see this and have an opinion.
EDIT: At the moment, I want to create the following weapon mods -
- Shotgun Suppressor (To be used by the Stubby Hunting Shotgun, and both 12 Ga. and 20 Ga. Tactical Shotguns)
- .50 MG Suppressor (To be used by the Payload Rife and any other .50 MG weapons added in the future)
- Shoulder Stock (To be used by the Naval SMG, Chinese Machine Pistol, Converted Full-Auto .45 Pistol, and Pneumatic Pistol)
- Reflex Sight (To replace all instances of the 9mm Pistol Scope on my weapons)
