I usually play Female characters only due to no "good" male armor. That was until I came across your mod. Being a Walking Dead fan, I was apprehensive about trying it out. But like all new mods, I gave it a shot and wasn't disappointed I love the "armor" my character is wearing.
When creating a character, I usually give them a background for RPG purposes. Using your mod, my character is Alex Keller of the Keller family. Using ALT start by FWE, he is an ex-enclave member. Unlike Wiki thought, he survived by joining the enclave and then leaving them.
In short, LOVE your work and look forward to more from you. *HUGE THUMBS UP*
I think there is a problem I don't know if i am missing a resource pack or a texture pack but the gun looks like it is made of light and the texture is missing the same with the sheriff hat and outfit but this is really bothering me the texture changes to the suroundign area i am in and changes when I move
That is the description of missing textures. You might want to verify your installation of the mod, make sure that \textures\King County Sheriff\Armor\KingCountySheriff\ \textures\King County Sheriff\Containers\ \textures\King County Sheriff\icons\ \textures\King County Sheriff\posters\ and \textures\King County Sheriff\weapons\ are where they should be and have contents.
not sure how i would do that and besides it's the mod authors job to make sure everything goes where it should in their mods and if textures are out of place it's their job to put things right
Er, a mod author's job is to do whatever they want, really. Calling it a job is a bit of a misnomer. Most modders make things they want to see and feel like sharing if they think other folks might be able to use or enjoy it. There is no obligation involved. If it was a paid service, that might be different. Some modders just upload their file and walk away.
Anyway... The mod is packaged properly, but sometimes strange things happen between files getting uploaded, stored, downloaded, installed, or accessed. Many times, it's due to players installing games and mod managers within the "Program Files" folders in Windows, where they are prevented from functioning the way there were intended to and/or require being elevated to have administrator permissions to work properly. This is even more especially true with games that existed before the current mod managers in use like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer were even conceived.
Something else you could do is download the file again and see if that helps, or try a different version of the file. If you would like help or assistance with anything that's been suggested, please state where/how you're having trouble so someone can work with you if you'd like help.

Sounds like the classic symptoms of not taking care of archive invalidation.
Archive invalidation is required for all mods adding textures or else they won't get used resulting in the effect you describe.
If you're using a mod manager make sure to toggle Archive Invalidation off & back on again AFTER installing this mod.
For "Old" FOMM click on Toggle Invalidation on the right.
For "New" FOMM you have to go to the buttons at the top & select:
Tools - Archive Invalidation
NMM has a built in Archive Invalidation too.
Or you can use the stand alone tool ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated:
http://www.nexusmods.com/games/?id=944
But ONLY USE ONE METHOD as using both together can cancel each other out.
"and besides it's the mod authors job to make sure everything goes where it should in their mods and if textures are out of place it's their job to put things right"
Everything is where it should be in the mod package, I'd have had reports before now if there was an issue.
However as Brigand231 correctly stated, things can get mixed up at the installation end for various reasons. Not least being not taking care of archive invalidation as mentioned above.
Hope this helps!

Brigand231 - Hello!
Thank-you kindly for helping out!
Concentrated so much on checking Deckard's gun comments page I only just spotted this.
Just needed to respond to 2 year old s******y - No it is the mod users job to make sure they use the mod and install it correctly. Entitled wouldn't even begin to describe this comment.
Good job I didn't post any spoilers then... You have got so much deep and dark stuff to get through in 4, you might not make it to 5, never mind the 'group'... couple of hours to go now....
I like holding off for the DVD box sets, adverts drive me nuts these days. I remember a time you had to run to use the toilet & be back in time during ad breaks. Now I could walk there & make a cuppa on the way back & still be back in my seat before the break was over. Must be getting old.
"You have got so much deep and dark stuff to get through in 4,"
Perhaps I better do the next season of Game of Thrones first, nothing terrible could happen to characters there...
"you might not make it to 5, never mind the 'group'... couple of hours to go now.... "
I'll still be there for five, just need to get a safety harness for being on the edge of the seat for so long.
To be honest, this is the only show were I need breaks to bring my heart rate down... screaming "HE'S BEHIND YOU!!!!" at the screen just doesn't cut it here.... and I do that a lot with this one... s#*!!, just thinkin' about what happened and what's to come, I need to go lie down.....
I'm sorry, I know this conversation is a bit old, but I really had to reply. I too don't enjoy commercials/advertisements during TV shows anymore. I love binge watching mostly using Netflix these days rather than DVD box sets, but I like those too. I don't think you are getting too old Prensa it's that they have them for much longer now. I don't know if they've made less breaks and fit more commercials into each one, or if there are simply a lot less time on the actual show and more on commercial time, but some shows have ridiculous amounts of advertising time - my husband and I watched a show the other day "live" and one commercial break was over 5 minutes long. I know they need those advertisements to support the show but seriously, 5 minutes?
Anyway, very cool mod, downloading now. Thank you for it. I love The Walking Dead but am also way behind. I hope I'm not adding any spoilers when I say that I got sidetracked during a certain devastating event in Season 3. I watched the rest of Season 3 but I haven't started 4 yet (and am nowhere near 5 or 6.)
**** spoiler question:
Would Lori's death in childbirth mean it really is the end of the human race? I mean already there is no cure, everyone has it, and now who would have a baby knowing that would spell their demise? Very few would be brave enough. Eventually everyone will be gone. It's tragic.
"Great job. Really dig the outfit and especially the Python."
Thank-you kindly!
I like the Walking Dead & Rick's iconic outfit from the first season & thought the traditional U.S. Sheriff's uniform would fit in well with Fallout's retro style too.
Colt Pythons are such a classic design, a revolver that still looks striking today even though it first appeared way back in 1955.
Prensa, I've gotten on a Metro 2033 kick lately and your mod was just the thing to round out my armament selection with a good, solid handgun. Kudos for the great model and design
However, I feel like you're teasing us just a wee bit; where on earth can we find the rest of the guns pictured in the screenshot of the new model? I would love to give that Police Positive (or so it looks like to me) on the right a test drive!
"Prensa, I've gotten on a Metro 2033 kick lately and your mod was just the thing to round out my armament selection with a good, solid handgun. Kudos for the great model and design"
Thank-you kindly! I'm glad you're enjoying the Python.
Out of curiosity are you using the Updated model version from the file section? It's much improved on the initial release.
I've never played Metro 2033 though I've seen it & thought it looked cool.
"However, I feel like you're teasing us just a wee bit; where on earth can we find the rest of the guns pictured in the screenshot of the new model? I would love to give that Police Positive (or so it looks like to me) on the right a test drive!"
You've a good eye, it's the very similar Colt Official Police. There's also pictured a snub nosed Colt Python with wooden grips & a Colt Python Hunter.
The Colt Python Hunter is particularly fun as it's an 8-inch barrel with a Leupold scope so looks quite striking.
I made them all when I updated the Python model, you're actually the first person to mention them. I like to sneak other weapons into screenshots to see if there's any interest.
I'm thinking of creating a custom location to add future weapon releases & those will probably come with it.
Just been a bit under the weather lately, hope to get back to releasing some mods soon.
Fantastich, Prensa, really great to hear! I'm waiting eagerly for that release, Fallout needs more revolvers.
Sorry you're feeling under the weather, hope you get well soon! Thanks for the reply, I'm glad people are still maintaining Fallout 3 mods, what with FO4 on the horizon and all.
"Would you perhaps be able to make other Walking Dead inspired armor mods? "
I've never thought of making any other armors/cloths from The Walking Dead as I can't really think of anyone else that has a solidly identifiable outfit.
Possible exceptions would be Michonne & Daryl Dixon who have a, not entirely fixed, but distinctive clothing style.
As far as I can tell, a jacket and trouser version has never been made,FO3 and NV, so I had to make do. Rick has a denim/sheepskin look now, meaner,darker and dirtier. There's Abraham, military/vest/combats look, (Firefly's Jayne without the humour or the wooly hat) Feb 9th, 2nd half of season 5, can't wait.. .

"Season 5 starts here tonight... 2 episodes....back to the edge. "
I've still got to get season 4 on DVD, only seen up to Season 3.

Hopefully there'll still be some characters left alive by the time I get to season 5.

I know I'm a few seasons behind on The Walking Dead but I'm guessing you mean the Priest outfit in that set.
I like Backsteppo's work, they've made some fun outfits.

Rick has a denim/sheepskin look now, meaner,darker and dirtier. There's Abraham, military/vest/combats look, (Firefly's Jayne without the humour or the wooly hat)
Feb 9th, 2nd half of season 5, can't wait..
"Rick has a denim/sheepskin look now, meaner,darker and dirtier"
From the promos I've seen of it I do like that sheepskin jacket of Rick's.
"Firefly's Jayne without the humour or the wooly hat"
Ooh Jayne's hat from Firefly! The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne....
"Feb 9th, 2nd half of season 5, can't wait.."
I'm way behind, gonna have to do a DVD box set cram session when I finally get around to them.
