📋 About This Mod
Have you ever remove your own Mage Armour by accidentaly equip armor trying things? While making some code for my next mod I realized I can use it to improve Mage Armour a little.
When Mage Armour is active and you equip an armor it becomes inactive instead of being remove. After unequip armor, Mage Armour will be automatically activate again.
This mod is a self override, it should work with any mod changing Mage Armour provide it's a self override too or my mod load after it.
This gameplay mod for Skyrim changes the Mage Armor perk so that equipping armor deactivates the perk instead of removing it, and unequipping armor reactivates it. It's a small quality-of-life tweak for mage players who frequently swap gear, with 174 endorsements and over 137,000 downloads.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (137k+) shows this QoL tweak is popular among mage players.
- Solves the annoyance of losing your Mage Armour perk every time you put on a helmet or gauntlets.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without extra bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 174 endorsements compared to downloads—some users may not have bothered to endorse, but it's a small mod.

For Skyrim mages who hate re-casting or re-selecting the Mage Armour perk every time they swap gear. If you play a hybrid character that frequently equips and unequips armor, this mod saves you from a constant annoyance. Skip if you never use the Mage Armour perk or prefer overhaul mods that change the perk system entirely.
💡 Beginner Tips

- This mod only affects the perk behavior—it doesn't change armor stats, so you can still wear any armor you like.
