That's great to hear about the release of the Oliver 76 Drill mod! It's always exciting to have more high-quality mods available for the FS25 community. Ensuring proper credit to the original authors in a separate .xml file is a good practice for acknowledging their contributions and giving them the recognition they deserve.
It's also important to note that even though mods strive for realism, there may be some differences from the actual real-life model, which is understandable considering the creative adjustments needed for gameplay mechanics and balance.
Color-matching with other Oliver edits sounds like a thoughtful touch for consistency and creating a unified visual style across your released mods. A cohesive and harmonious design can enhance the overall player experience and make your collection of mods stand out.
Thank you for sharing this update, and I hope the Oliver 76 Drill mod continues to be well-received by the FS25 community! If you have any more details or updates to share about this mod or any others in the Oliver series, feel free to let us know.
