Another Minutemen outfit replacer idea

[Danstronghammer]

There are currently a lot of outfit replacers for the minutemen available at the moment, some which are excellent, some that don't work so well.

 

I really like the modern tacticool look of the current vibe of minutemen replacers and other outfit mods. However, every mod I've seen that does this, there is one glaring issue that no one seems to have addressed. All the outfits are very clean and shiny.

 

This is all well and good and the modders who create these are all very skilled at what they do, but the game is set over 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse. Let's face it, military gear and uniforms are not going to be clean, shiny and new, and npc's aren't going to be able to pop down to the dry cleaners to get their outfits all cleaned and pressed again.

 

They're going to to be dirty, ripped torn, worn patched, stitched. They'll look like they've been scavenged from a military base, and be well used, not plucked off the production line.

 

So, this is where my idea comes in. The Minutemen are not the BOS. Albeit they have a chain of command and are organised, they are a militia, not a professional army. I think they need outfits to reflect this.

 

The minutemen still need military style outfits, but outfits that look like they've been scavenged, rather than produced. Cut ups and mashups of the dirty versions of the vanilla army fatigues, military fatigues, submariner uniform trousers, minutemen outfit and flannel shirts. Mismatches of hats and helmets, including FAST helmets, berets, grey knit caps and milita hats. And to give them that "tacticool" look, give them dirtied up modern style plate carriers and chest rigs.

 

Basically, give the minutemen that military feel, but have their outfits dirty and mismatched, so they look like a militia equipped with scavenged gear, who've been out in the s#*!, not sitting in some fancy airship.

 

Or you could get an existing mod, and create a dirtied up version, with differeing head gear.

 

In all my searching, I've never found a mod that does this.
