I recommend using NMM, but I mean, I guess you don’t HAVE to if you don’t want to. It CAN be used standalone as well, but I recommend using Armor Modifications Expanded anyways, unless you hate well-balanced mods that improve your game experience. It is designed to have full compatibility with Armor Modifications Expanded by LordGrievous, an EXCELLENT mod that I HIGHLY recommend. MinutemanTricorn – Modifiable.esp also adds the functionality to add a lining mod and ballistic weave to the Militia Hat. It replaces the vanilla Militia Hat’s model and texture with those of the Tricorn and leaves the stats otherwise unchanged. MinutemanTricorn – Replacer Only.esp is a simple model swap, nothing more.
This mod replaces the Minutemen’s Militia Hat with Hancock’s Tricorn. Are you a Minuteman? Were you somewhat disappointed by the Militia Hat being an ugly crumpled cowboy hat? Do you want your citizen army to have more colonial style?
