WMX is both one of the best and worst mods ever made for this game.
Exactly what the title says. It is one of the best as since it allows for more customization and even gives the weapons a new look and feel to them. But at the same time, it's so sensitive and finicky, the smallest change in your mod list or if you have one mod in there that shouldn't even make a difference, half of it just won't work and you have to end up d!cking around with it for awhile just so you can enjoy what should be working in the first place. I'm still trying to mess with it to no avail.

Not sure since I haven't used WMX in ages, but, I think it's considered obsolete now??? Check the Nexus to see if there are alternatives. Good luck getting it to work. I had to drop it because I use a bunch of new weapon mods that didn't play well with it. Cheers! Going through TTW now while getting 90+ mods to play nice together. Fun.

I've looked. There is no real alternative. I wish someone would make one though.

Sorry to hear that. The only thing I can think of is see if compatibility patches have been created by other users, or...ugh...learn to use FNVEdit and dive it to fix it. Way beyond my current capabilities. Good luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for.

I don't even want to attempt to screw around with FNVEdit. I'm just going do delete the mod and move on.

Yeah it's obsolete. Classic weapons remastered is a good alternative that plays nice with anything, though obviously not as extensive as wmx it adds some variety.

Does this add weapon mods to unique weapons. Just had to ask. I'm checking it out either way.

UwU[www.nexusmods.com] is what you want.

Thing is, all WMX really does is remove the actual unique effects from unique weapons only to add them back as mods. Everything it adds, it takes away from other places - it's a flawed concept (and a compatability nightmare, as you know) on its face, which is a major reason there aren't really any alternatives.

You're better off just adding more weapons if you want more variety. CFWR as already recommended is a great start, and Another Millenia[www.nexusmods.com] is a great addendum.

Oh well that's bullsh!t. Also about the first mod; love the concept, hate the name.

DiZco named it that way for that very reason :D

The modding community these days is about 91% memeology and vaguely constructive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Which isn't a bad thing, it keeps modders from getting bored and burnt out.

Yeah I agree with you on that. Speaking of which, I wish they'd bring back the Happy Gilmore golf club.
