Restored Basketball and Hoop
DESCRIPTION
Have you built a basketball hoop at your settlement, but don’t like how rusty it is? “Restored Basketball & Hoop” replaces the diffuse texture for the basketball hoop with one that has been redone to give a much cleaner appearance. Additionally, the basketball itself is enhanced with decreased dirt, as well as improved coloration and additional stripes for a more realistic look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does this mod change?
A: The diffuse textures for both the basketball and basketball hoop have been changed. The basketball hoop diffuse texture was almost completely redone, while the basketball diffuse texture was just an enhancement to the existing texture. There are only two files that have been modified in this release. You can find the exact names of these files in the INCLUDED FILES section above.
Q: Does this mod change the texture of all basketball hoops in the game or just the ones I build at my settlement?
A: Unfortunately, all basketball hoops appear to use the same model and texture, so this will affect all of them that exist in the game.
Q: Why does the basketball hoop still look a bit worn when in the sun?
A: There are other types of textures besides the diffuse texture that control the appearance of bumps and scratches. I am not as experienced with these types of textures and have chosen not to edit them in the current release.
Q: Will this affect my saved game?
A: Texture mods should have no affect on your saved game files, though it can never hurt to create a backup of your saves before installing any mods just to be safe.
Q: Does this add any new functionality/features to the game?
A: No, this is simply an appearance/texture mod.
