Description:

Improved in-game models with armors for most mercs. The goal is to make them more realistic while keeping their uniqueness. You can use mod options to switch between vanilla and modified appearance for each merc.

Motivation

I was really annoyed by the in-game models of several mercs. Even some top-tier mercs arrive on the battlefield with completely unsuitable clothing and without armor. For example, Reaper and Sidney would rather go to a wedding instead of a gunfight wearing their original suits, while Magic originally looks like as if he’s going to steal some money from the local store. 😀 In contrast, some enemy units (Adonis and army soldiers) and even militia generally look more professional, just like real soldiers.

Features

This mod changes the in-game models of most mercs (A.I.M. and I.M.P.), especially by adding armors to them, while ensuring unique appearance that resembles their avatar images. Options are provided to switch between vanilla and modified appearance for each merc individually. For some mercs, there are more than two options, e.g., different hair styles for Buns. If you change mod options, you should reload the current sector (e.g., by loading a saved game) to see the changes.

This mod is heavily based on other mods, especially "Mercs Wear Armor" and "Camo Pack", but I made a lot of changes according to my personal preference.

If you prefer an even more professional and uniform look for your mercs (including helmets optionally), then you can give a try to "Misc – Show Equipped Armor".

Feedback is welcome. 🙂

Compatibility
  • Compatible with version 1.5.x of the game.
  • Compatible with existing save games, safe to enable/disable any time.
  • Should be compatible with other mods that do not change in-game models of mercs.
