🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, just download with the manager and it'll handle the install automatically.
If installing manually, drop the files into your Fallout 4 Data folder and make sure the mod is enabled in your load order.
Since this mod only changes textures, it's safe to use with most other mods, but if you have another mod that edits magazine models, load this one after it.
