📋 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)

✨ Key Features
📊 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.
For players who prioritize aesthetics over min-maxing and hate being forced into 'optimal' armor. Also great for roleplayers who want their character to look the part without stat penalties. Skip if you enjoy the strategic trade-off of choosing between different armor stats.
💡 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.
