I'm sure you're as frustrated as me with this outdated clothing system and their apparent desire to dumb it down to make our players feel even less like they're unique and custom to us.

I am releasing these mods to hopefully show TFP that players WANT custom characters and variations of items that they can hobble together with treasures from the wasteland, creating a truly unique character and base.

==============================================================

You ready to ditch the same old steel armor and have a chance to loot a tough, sexy plate carrier?

Note that with all clothing/armor mods, you CANNOT preview this in your character outfit screen. It will look invisible but other players can see it and if you enter third person or sit on a bike, you can see it too.

This serves to help your crew look badass and get more protection.

Adds a plate carrier with seven loadouts in Ranger Green, Khaki and Coyote Brown.

Not craftable, you have to find it through looting like you would in real life.

I've added two new sizes to each vest to accommodate various avatar sizes. You can craft a (M) for Medium and (S) for Small for each vest as well as switch back to the standard from those sizes. The recipes calls for 3 military fiber to switch sizes as would be expected when modifying a vest IRL plus prevents XP farming from costless crafting.

If you're a streamer or someone with a clan and want versions with your logo or graphic on a patch on the plate carriers, email me at smittylovesdogs@gmail.com for details
