Holotape visual improvements

Higher-detail retextures of the holotapes and 6 new legend-friendly variants for even more variety. The Holotape game also has a revamped look, which is a huge improvement over the original. Available as an integrated retexture mod or as a resource for modders.

Prerequisite: Automatic Workshop, Far Harbor, Nuclear World DLC

describe

A comprehensive retexture of the Holotapes that looks better and more detailed while maintaining the same texture resolution, and also features 6 new variants, giving even more variety to the Holotapes in the game. The holotape games have also been modified, and they now look closer to what's described in RobCo Fun magazine, rather than the amateur bootleg tags shipped by Bethesda.

This module has 2 versions to choose from:

Full Replacer: Retexture the original design and redesign multiple holotapes contextually (when applicable) or semi-randomly (when not applicable) with new variations. This change covers holotapes in the base game and DLC.

Simple Replacer: Stay true to the original standard and choose a look for all holotapes (game holotapes will get the modified look regardless). You can even choose the Enclave or Academy version, although it doesn't make any sense!

You also have the option to zoom in or out on the holotape prop. Bethesda made the holotape props about 1.5 times larger than originally intended so that they would be easier to find when placed in the world, but kept the game holotapes at their original size (side by side with Pip-boy, the holotapes actually look like they fit it) since you get them from magazines, so I chose to fix that size difference, but you can choose if you want them to be larger or smaller.

But wait, there’s more! ! This is also a resource for modders, so for modders making quest mods or any mods that are going to have the new holotapes, the assets are open perm so you don't always have to stick to the orange holotape look. The modder's resource pack comes in optional files and contains everything you need, you pretty much just need to assign the model in the plugin (for some reason material swapping doesn't work on holotapes).

Compatibility: Will conflict with any other holotape textures or mods that happen to cover the original holotape recordings (unlikely). If using a full replacement version, other mods and/or quest mods will require patches to make their holotapes different, see the patch repository.

Install

Install like any other mod. Using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 is highly recommended.
