Okay I know a lot of people love and use EVE, but am I the only one that just wants a simple retexture of the weapons without the extra effects? EVE is a great mod, but most of the time it tanks performance for some folks, including me.

So my question is, has anybody done a flatout retexture of all energy weapons besides EVE? Or has anybody found a way to use the EVE weapons textures without the particle effects?

Check this out, this guy has some really good textures for Energy and conventional weapons.
The textures for the energy weapons are in the Fallout 3 mod section, but they work with Nv as well.
