Any Rustless Power Armor Mods?

[NeuroticPixels]

I've looked through the retexture and power armor categories on Nexus, and even tried using specific keywords in the "file name contains" and "description contains" search fields... I even Googled!

But I can't seem to find a mod that retextures all of the power armors that show signs of rusting. Especially for the one that Paladin Danse wears.

I don't want 4k and I don't want the armors to be all black or a whole different color. I want the retextures to be pretty close to the vanilla look, just minus all the rust. AND I do not want something that will somehow modify the stats or whatnot of the power armor. I just want retextures.

 

Have I missed something?? Can someone please let me know if they know of a mod that does this?

 

P.S. I've found http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3089/? this mod ("Black Raider Power Armor"), which is pretty much what I'm looking for, just for all the other rusty power armors out there. They took the rusty parts and turned them black. Which is fine. Gets rid of the ugly brown/orange colors.

 

Thank you!

So I assume you looked at Worsin's Power Armor Garage and ruled that out? That mod doesn't really mention it on the description page, but it has a Lite, no bonus version in the files tab that basically just gives you the paint textures only and none of the other stuff. Granted, the paint colors are not similar to vanilla so you may rule out the Lite version based on that too. But you don't have to go for the bright colors or flames. Though I really like the bright colors with flames myself. :D There are some more military style, camos and such.

 

Personally I dislike the lack of rust free choices myself. To me rusty power armor is actually less immersive. I just repaired and upgraded the stupid thing, do you really think I can't swing by Hardware Town and pick up a few cans of paint for it too?

 

The X-01 Military skins looks fairly clean: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1457. Most of this mod is rusty, but it has a clean looking Army set: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11234/ This mod has both dirty and what they call clean, but are really clean-ish: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1319/

Worsin's wouldn't work for me because it's not paints that I'm looking for. I'm wanting a retexture of all the vanilla power armors that takes away rust. I appreciate that the Consistent Power Armor Overhaul mod gave a "metal" paint that gets rid of the rust, but it's still just a paint. If I understand correctly, I'm not going to see NPCs in power armors out in the world using these paints. They're just for me to use. So they don't solve this eye-sore of an issue.

 

Like this one. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5326/? Unfortunately, it only changes one set of power armor, and it doesn't include Danse's suit according to the posts, and the author links a mod that no longer exists to fix Danse's suit.

 

And I totally agree. Less immersive AND ugly. I can repair and paint my stuff until kingdom come, but I want the suits I find out in the world and the ones NPCs are already wearing to be gentle on the eyes and not cringe-worthy. So I was hoping someone already knew of a mod, or multiple I could use without conflict, to solve it.

 

Thanks for your response!

 

EDIT: Actually, after rereading the description page for the Consistent Power Armor Overhaul, it sounds like it's a retexture... yet he continually uses the word "paint job" and such. So I'm a tad confused. But I may try it out later to see what it actually does. Unfortunately, he says he gave the T51a a rusty texture. Bleh.

Alright, I think I'm good. Found some things that work for me!

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/738/? -- Power Armor (Recolors) -- Using "Black T-51" file

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2239/? -- Coldchylde's Powerarmor Shop -- Using "Brotherhood Outcast T60 Re-texture", "Minuteman PA Re-texture", and "Paladin and Elder T60 Re-texture" files (some overwriting here and there)

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4233/? -- Black Titanium Power Armor Frame (Includes great jetpack retexture!)

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4994/? -- Fusion Core Retexture

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1898/? -- Hd Black.red Power Armor Station

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10937/? -- Better Dials for Power Armor - Fallout 4 -- "Better Dials for Power Armor - Vault-Tech BLUE" file

 

Spawned a few suits with the Cheat Terminal mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/13285/?) and looked at the several suits I had already collected through my travels and everything seems to be covered. Danse's suit also looks SO much better, yay! At this point, I think I'm good. Just thought I'd link everything I decided to use in case anyone else wants to check them out.

I've used the Better Dials since the beginning, great mod. I also use a great black carbon armor frame retex. I'm glad you found something that worked for you. :)

Could somebody PLEASE delete the FIRST QUOTE above (not the second). I can't delete the quotes (anymore).

Iâm glad someone finds that post helpful! :D

I still come back to this page myself to remind myself which mods to use!

I now have a few more to add to the list.

Again, the following mods are recommended to be used WITH the mods already listed in the quote above. (I use a different fusion core retexture mod now! Deleted the old one from the quote!)

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3530 -- "Total Blackout" file. Only need the PAT51_palette_d.dds within the download. It fixes the T51s having a rusty chest and shoulders.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3089 -- Turns the rust black on raider power armor. Looks much better.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/29479 -- fomod contains several options. I believe I chose "2k scratched".

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/59101 -- I went with the original orange palette. I did NOT overwrite any other mod.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5401/ -- "High Vis Industrial Grade FC" file. Fusion core retexture.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6011 -- I prefer the "hybrid" red glow for the FC.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14773 -- Automatically take out your fusion core when you leave your power armor. A must-have.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10732 -- Fixes the missing shine from the 1st person power armor hands.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31168 -- A better looking fusion core hole.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/33080 -- A must-have. Simply keeps your character from having a tough time getting into power armor.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20340 -- Fixes the desynced sounds of entering and exiting power armor. A small change, but your eyes and ears will thank you.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8854 -- Fixes overly bright map when using power armor.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6708 -- Make the power armor's lamp light actually useful.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6938 -- Impatient like me? Unlock those power armor paints!

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/55599 -- Better looking blowtorch to work on your power armor with.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/27479 -- Actually see what the heck you're doing with workbenches. Removes shader effect. Requires F4SE.

 

 

Slightly unrelated... you can get a jetpack without having to use power armor: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7668 <-- lots of mods try to implement jetpacks, and I've used this one for years. Highly recommended.

 

These are all mods I will install for every single playthrough I do. The ones in the quote, and the new ones I've listed.

I hope I didn't forget anything...

 

Enjoy!
