What I'm looking for on Nexus Mods, and not seeing, is a mod that would return the stores to the way they worked before all the new technologies were introduced in the last version of the game.

My goal would be to have no ER Lasers, LBX/Ultra Autocannons, Gauss Rifles, etc. Also, to blacklist all the new vehicles that have those equipment installed. Anyone know of a mod like that? Shooting for a true 3025 experience, but with all the BattleMechs introduced in the last patch like the Marauder and Warhammer.

Cheers All,
 
BEX rolls out the new toys at lore-appropriate times and rates, so a 3025 start, especially in the periphery, will be very devoid of fancy gear. It also features almost everything from the Master Unit Lists to roll faction and unit appropriate mechs for each battle. Not just the official Mechs but all the ones modeled in the Community Asset Bundle also. Lots and Lots of Stingers and Wasps, as it should be. Highly recommend.
 
Hyades Rim mod is set for a 3024 start, with the tech levels set for the end of the 3rd Succession War.

You can't find LosTech items like LB-Xs, UACs, ER Lasers, etc., anymore on most regular stores, unless the system has the Former Star League Presence tag or a Black Market, and there will only be 1 or 2 of those items, if any at all, and in the next versions of the mod they'll appear even less in stores.

SDLF variants of 'Mechs are even harder to come by stores, only in Former SLDF systems and at the most 1 or 2 parts.

And the vehicles carrying LosTech weapons can only appear if you're facing ComStar, Niops Association or the Brotherhood of Randis, which canonically still had access to Star League tech, plus a couple of the new factions the mod introduces.
