VERSION 1.6 IS OUT, CHANGES INCLUDE:


  • The Sword was given the proper modded variants' meshes.
  • The Faulty gauntlet textures were corrected and its bone weights improved.
  • The Boots' textures were cleaned and are now darker and smoother.


WHAT AND WHERE?

This adds a full set of Desert Fox Kunoichi clothes and gear to NV. Despite what you may think, it's lore friendly. Really, it is... and I just might expand on it with an upcoming mod, if the mood strikes. If you feel otherwise just remember Bethesda's pew pew guns in FO3's Zeta DLC and let me be.

The whole thing can be obtained from the Asian Girl inside Victor's Shack at Goodsprings. She's in the bathtub (Whoa, Victor...).



THE ARMOR

The set is of course, fully modular, supports BnB (or not) and includes:

  • Customizable Cut off jeans, crop top, boots and ninja net steel mail.
  • Steel mesh and Leather tactical gauntlets.
  • Customizable Leather cut off Jacket with desert camo and custom design.
  • Customizable Leather strap tactical gear with carbon pistol holster (or without), tac pouch to carry more stuff and steel/leather knee and elbow pads.
  • Fox mask shaped oxygen recycler and radiation filter with lacquered wood, gold designs and glowing eyes. This one is unlimited, unlike the crappy vanilla rebreather.

From the 1.5 Version and newer, the set now includes the possibility of crafting the optional parts (No pistol holster, Full jacket and a brand new base outfit with more coverage (You know, for any soccer moms watching over your shoulder). Check the new preview image or just jump in and start crafting AT THE WORKBENCH.

Every piece adds useful, non-overpowered effects on your character, but as always, speak up if you feel any of it is unbalanced. There's a bit of lore (and a warning) on the bloodstained note found on the girl as well. Check it out if you're interested.



THE HOTPANTS REPLACER

This was a commission from one of our friends here at the Nexus. They insisted on having it up for grabs for everyone to enjoy. So, enjoy!

Keep in mind that the hotpants will replace the jeans permanently if you use the light version. The Reinforced outfit with the full top and knickers will stay the same. If you're not sure whether you'd like them, use a mod organizer like Vortex that can undo the changes easily. In any case, redownloading the Main Files will revert it with no problems as well.


THE SWORD

Featuring AlphaDragoon's Seiryuu beam katana. Customized, adapted and rebalanced for a stealthy desert fox, rather than a roaring dragon. It has 3 optional mods (just like the Seiryuu original) that raise its damage, max condition and hit speed rate. All three can be bought from Old Lady Gibson at the Gibson Scrapyard north of Novac.

The sword is included as a bonus since I remade its look for my own character. If you feel it won't fit in your game, just ignore it. I had a hard time deciding if I should include it since there weren't any major changes other than function and textures and it just so happens that the author has closed their account, years ago too, so no way to ask for permission. I figured I'd use it and if I manage to communicate with them and they'd rather not have it here, then I'll remove it too. I'd still release the texture and balance patch so anyone can use it WITH the original mod.


THE PIP-BOY DECALS & FACE PRESET

If you use the handheld readius pip-boy, check the preview image to see if you're interested in the optional decal in the optional files.

The 2.0 version of my character is also available as an optional download. It requires IStewieAI's Character Preset Menu and zzjay's Mannequin Races.



THE NUDE BODY REPLACER

Based on Kozzz's awesome work, this one is as much his property as it is mine, so go to his clothes mod pages and endorse the F out of them too.

In the future I WILL take the time to make a perfect seamless version. Until then, the neck seam is nearly flawless only using the mannequin race. In vanilla and other races I'd call it adequate (it's certainly better than Bethesda's) but you'll have to rename the folder paths to accommodate mod races.
I cleaned up whatever hiccups I found on Kozzz's original body, but the feet he used are... not great, so I had to add Type 6 replacements. Sliiiiight clipping can be seen only under certain lighting conditions or if you REALLY zoom in and start prodding. In normal gameplay you won't notice. Again, I'll fix that in the future.


Important Note On Avoiding a Vanilla Bug:

If you crafted the optional armor pieces WHILE WEARING THE SET, you might have noticed the Armor Effects stay with you even if you take off the various pieces. It also doubles said effects if you put it all back on (Cool, but not very balanced or immersive).

THIS IS A VANILLA BUG that's caused by Crafting something using a piece of armor YOU'RE WEARING. Since it's an engine glitch, I can't do anything to fix it, but to avoid it simply take off your armor BEFORE using it to craft the optionals.

If that already happened and you wanna fix it, you'll have to TAKE IT ALL OFF, and then craft the original pieces again. Wear the whole original set you just remade and TAKE IT OFF. That should fix the effect stack (confirm it on your Pip-Boy EFF screen). Now you're free to make the pieces you want any way you want and wear them normally from then on. Just remember: Every time you want to make ANY workbench changes take it all off first.



FAQ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What are those sexy Pip-Boy icons I can see in the screenshots"

That's Forno and VK's Sexy Vault Girl Interface , our snazzy NSFW Icon replacer. I'm still working on improvements for it and Forno has plenty of drawings ahead of him, but feel free to get the Beta, it already has most of the icons working perfectly. IF YOU'RE AT LEAST 18, that is. When I say it's NSFW, I MEAN IT. Like... A LOT. Be warned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What body shape did you use for the armor?"

It's my modified Kozzz's Type 3 BNB replacer. Get it from the Optional Files, you'll need textures from any type 3 or 6 body replacer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My bewbies stretched out and rode into the sunset!!"

That happens to people who DO NOT install Bouncing Natural Breasts properly.
If you don't use/want bounce simply pick the No BnB main file. If you DO want it, you need a Compatibility Skeleton and the animation .kf files from The BnB Mod. 

Install IN THIS ORDER:

- The BNB_Body file, (not the BNB_Armor).
- The Compatibility Skeleton.
- Either type 3, 4, 6 or whatever BNB compatible body you use. If you wanna be sure, use the kozzz one I provide in the optional files OVER whatever type 3 or 6 you want).

Overwrite everything in each case.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What are the weapons you're using in those screenshots?"

The pistol is Millenia's H&K USP, the Rifle is Naky's Ruger SR-556.

They're customized, though; so they won't have the vampire lips decals or the laser sight on the USP.

"Will this conflict with Lime's Better Victor's Shack?"

Not at all, they coexist peacefully.
