Fallout 3 - Zumbs Darker Sunglasses v1.2

This mod changes the sunglasses so the characters eyes are almost no visible and even adds reflection from light sources. The new, cooler sunglasses are now called "Mirrored Shades" and also give that +1 Charisma.

1. INTRODUCTION

===============

The sun glasses in the game were very transparent and lacked reflection from light sources (specular light).

This mod changes sunglasses so that your eyes are almost invisible, and even adds reflection from light sources. The new, cooler sunglasses are now called "Mirrored Shades". Even though you didn't kill Mason or dug up a stiff, you are looking cool. Cool enough to get that +1 Charisma, you've been waiting for. How about that?

Since I started working on this mod, a lot of requests have come in. So, now you have multiple options for which type of texture you prefer (take a look at the screenshots at fallout3nexus.com).

===============

2. REQUIREMENTS

===============

Fallout 3. I have not applied the 1.0.0.15 patch (as I do not have the problems described).

==================================

3. INSTALLATION AND UNINSTALLATION

==================================

To install, you have to perform the following steps:

1) Browse to My Documents\My games\Fallout3, and make a backup of FALLOUT.INI

2) Open FALLOUT.INI and change the line "bInvalidateOlderFiles=0" to "bInvalidateOlderFiles=1".

3) Extract the contents of this archive to your Fallout 3/Data directory

4) If you wish to use a non-default texture ("more transparent", "so 60s", red, silver1, or silver2), browse to Fallout 3\Data\textures\characters\hair and rename the texture to ZumbsSunglasses.dds (you must rename the existing one).

4) Open your favorite Fallout 3 launcher (I recommend using FOMM)

5) Check ZumbsDarkerSunglasses.esp (if you want the replacer) or ZumbsDarkerSunglasses_no_replace.esp if you prefer not using replacers.

6) If you are using the non-replacer version, you can add the new Mirrored Shades to your inventory by opening the console (the ~ key below Esc) and type:

player.additem xx05c99f

where xx is the position of the esp in your load order, counting Fallout3.esm as 0. Please note that the position is in base 16.

To uninstall, uncheck ZumbsDarkerSunglasses.esp and delete the following files from your Fallout 3/Data directory:

\meshes\character\hair\Zumbs\ZumbsShades.egm

\meshes\character\hair\Zumbs\ZumbsShades.nif

\meshes\character\hair\Zumbs\ZumbsShadesGO.nif

\textures\character\hair\ZumbsSunglasses.dds

\textures\character\hair\ZumbsSunglasses_more_transparent.dds

\textures\character\hair\ZumbsSunglasses_red.dds

\textures\character\hair\ZumbsSunglasses_silver1.dds

\textures\character\hair\ZumbsSunglasses_silver2.dds

\textures\character\hair\ZumbsSunglasses_so_60s.dds

ZumbsDarkerSunglasses.esp

ZumbsDarkerSunglasses_no_replace.esp

If you installed version 1.0, you should also delete:

\meshes\character\hair\shades.egm

\meshes\character\hair\shades.nif

\meshes\character\hair\shadesgo.nif

\textures\character\hair\ZumbsSunglasses.dds

================

4. COMPATIBILITY

================

It should be compatible with everything, that does not edit the sun glasses.

If you find any incompatibilities or bugs, please report them to me.
