📋 About This Mod

Having to choose between the armor you like and what's objectively superior???

SAY NO MORE! I got ya fam.

This mod makes all armors within a tier (light, medium and heavy) have the same weight and armor class. Look how you want!

ALL CHANGES ALSO AFFECT ENEMIES, KEEPING THIS BALANCED

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Mod came about due to me liking how Ringmail and Chainmail look, but plate armour being objectively better w/o any benefit to the lesser heavy armors. Now we can use what we want. Obviously some choices will still be objectively superior due to a unique passive or something along those lines, but the gap is smaller and less serious.

CHANGES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

All AC's set to maximum value for that category. For example: All medium armors share their stats with Half-Plate.

Light Armor

Padded, Leather, Studded Leather (and derivatives)

Medium Armor

Hide, Chain Shirt, Scale Mail, Breastplate, Half-Plate (and derivatives)

Heavy Armor

Ringmail, Chainmail, Splint, Full-Plate (and derivatives)

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Fashion over function: finally wear that cool-looking set without being penalized.
  • Simple concept, clean execution — no complex settings or patches needed.
  • Solid community adoption (111 endorsements, 21k downloads) shows it works for many.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
  • Balancing is flattened entirely, so some players might find it removes meaningful choices.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if the mod requires a specific game version or DLC — the description doesn't mention it, so test on a save you don't mind losing.
  • If you use other armor mods, install this one first and see if they conflict — load order might matter.
  • Since it's a simple stat tweak, you can easily remove it if you change your mind.
