First and foremost, a huge thank you to dragbody, macintroll, and pilamin. Without your established mods, PMLO would have taken a lot longer (hard to believe, I know) and been a lot harder. You're all great and I appreciate it.

Longstanding legion overhauls like Caesar's New Regime hold a warm place in my heart, but they change the overall look and feel of the faction. The vanilla armor is iconic to New Vegas, and is referenced throughout the game. I thought it was about time for a visual update that's easier on the eyes and lighter on the load order. Introducing, PM's HD Legion Overhaul: "It's time for a new Legion to walk the wastes."


FEATURES:

• 32 brand-spankin'-new 4K, 2K, or 1K textures, created entirely from scratch
• Brand new HD normal maps
• Integration with NCR Trooper Overhaul, Wasteland Clothing Hires, and Super Mutants HD for armors that use related pieces (such as centurions and Lonesome Road's marked men)
• Designs that emulate vanilla for maximum lore-friendliness
• An insatiable urge to destroy profligates
  

WHAT'S COVERED:

• Caesar's armor
• Legate Lanius' armor
• All legion armor variants
• All legion headgear
• Armor of the 87th Tribe
• All marked men armors
• All marked men headgear
• Damwar armors (lower res versions used in the final battle of Hoover Dam)
• Legion flags
• New! Caesar's throne
• New! Slave rags
• New! Slave backpack
• New! Romanes Eunt Domus graffiti
  

RECOMMENDED MODS / COMPATIBILITY:

Legion armors that use pieces from NCR, power armor, and super mutant armors have been adapted from, or designed to run alongside, the following:

• NCR Trooper Overhaul by dragbody
• Wasteland Clothing Hires by macintroll
• Super Mutants HD by pilamin
• ADAM Reborn by MonoAccipiter (Not used in PMLO, but will look at home alongside it)
• Book of Steel by CaBaL120 (Not used in PMLO, but will look at home alongside it)
  

PMLO doesn't touch meshes so as to maintain full body mod compatibility. For mesh changes, consider Fix for the Caesar Legion Armors by YanL. Additionally, if you're planning on wearing the armor yourself, or any other faction armor, check out I Know I'm Wearing Faction Armor.

PMLO is compatible with everything, but you may not see all of its benefits if you're using legion overhauls such as CNR. However, even in this case, textures will still make their appearance on marked men and on legion characters added in by quest mods. Speaking of, let me know if there are any mods that use legion-derivative textures that could benefit from a patch. I'll get around to it when I can.


INSTALLATION:

You know the drill, whack this bad boy in your mod manager. For the best visual to performance ratio, I would recommend the 2K textures.

Ensure you overwrite other armor mods with PMLO. This is because other mods may provide their own Damwar texture, which includes both Legion and NCR textures. PMLO's Damwar incorporates NCR Trooper Overhaul and Wasteland Clothing Hires, providing the benefit of these mods + PMLO.


NOTES:
As always, the Photoshop documents for all textures have been provided in the file section so that you may tweak and edit to suit any personal needs.

Thanks to LucianHector for the fantastic showcase:



Well. That's out now. Phew. If you like this, check out my other mods PM's Med-Textures, PM's HD Ammo Boxes, and more.

At 63 individual textures, most of them taking days, and often over a week, PMLO took me hundreds of hours to create, for something only the small but dedicated New Vegas community will ever appreciate. I know it's a lot to ask on the internet, but if you enjoy this or any of my other textures, please consider shouting me a coffee. It's not the reason I mod, but it's extremely encouraging. Thanks Nexus, love you all.
