New to modding how do I?

[LordMyotis]

How do I make a mod that alters a different mod? To explain Snipers of the Commonwealth adds snipers to the game as part of different factions the problem is is also gives them OP weapons like for example a pipe sniper rifle has CK stats of 50 base dmg 44 dps with the only mods on the weapon being a full stock short scope long barrel and a bayonet while the standard pipe pistol no mods has a 13 base dmg with 11 dps mind you same receiver only change is sights barrel and grip. I love having the snipers in the game but the OP weapons make in unbalanced I want to fix this but I don't know how.

If it's just for you, you can make an edit in FO4Edit and save to a new esp. Open the esp in FO4Edit, find the weapon and its constituent forms (whichever holds the damage dealing property), double-click to edit, dismiss the warning, edit, save, test.

And btw, some useful console commands in this context are "FCF" and "HLP <plugin name>", the first one will make the game terminate the (stream) connection to the esps (force close files), you do this first, the other will load your newly edited esp (Hotload Plugin).
