One of the biggest drawbacks with the Institute as a faction in the Fallout universe, is that they feel fundamentally disconnected from the design language of the intellectual property. For a universe that prides itself in retro futurism rooted in the mid-century eras of the 1900s, the sterile clean white look of the Institute feels like it could come from a separate franchise entirely. While structurally inoffensive, the interlocking pseudo-hex panels and turquoise glass that blankets this location feels more akin to a science fiction title with it's designs rooted in high sci-fi (think Mass Effect, Starfield, Portal 2). The aim is not to structurally dismantle the Institute, but instead to give it a facelift that is reminiscent of late 1960s to early 1970s science fiction. Utilizing a color palette that isn't as harsh and shifting materials away from generic sci-fi patterns to simple clean metals, while utilizing bold accent colors for visual contrast, the Institute finally feels like a faction and location rooted in the Fallout franchise. New high quality textures available in 2K and 4K resolutions. Likely more to come when I get the itch, such as prop and furniture retextures.
Should be compatible with everything that does not try and do the exact same thing.
