Armor Modification Description Fix (Stat Tiers)

Armor Modification Description Fix

Description

This mod fixes incomplete, inconsistent, or misleading text descriptions for certain armor and Power Armor modification effects across the vanilla game, its official DLCs, and various Creation Club / Verified Creator releases included in the Anniversary Edition (AE) setup.

In Bethesda games, numerical stat comparisons are often described using specific adjectives to help you judge how much better or worse an item modification is. In some places, this tier logic was broken by the developers themselves, and mod authors frequently ignore it, completely disrupting the consistency. This mod restores structural logic to all armor modification descriptions, making them clear, accurate, and informative.

It is also worth noting that for armor, the first upgrade tier should be stated without a degree of comparison. For example:

mod_armor_Railroad_ClothingArmor1 - Ballistic Weave - Adds Damage and Energy Resistance.

Main features

Degrees of Comparison (Stat Tiers):

The mod restructures descriptions based on a strict baseline tier logic:

• []Worse Inferior (mod)[/]

  []Exceptionally poor (mod)[/]

  []Worse (game)[/]

  []Inferior (game)[/]

  []Poor (game)[/]

  []Reduced  (game)[/]

  []0[/]

  []Improved (game)[/]

  []Better (game)[/]

  []Superior (game)[/]

  []Exceptional (game)[/]

  []Superb (game)[/]

  []Extreme (mod)[/]

  []Abysmal (mod)[/]

As a result, the changes are structured as follows:

Vault Suit Lining Fixes (Vanilla vs. Fixed):

[]mod_armor_VaultSuit_Lining1 - Insulated Lining (+5ER) - Improved Energy Resistance. > Adds Energy Resistance.[/]

[]mod_armor_VaultSuit_Lining2 - Treated Lining (+5ER, +5RR) - Improved Radiation and Energy Resistance. > Adds Energy and Radiation Resistance.[/]

[]mod_armor_VaultSuit_Lining3 - Resistant Lining (+10ER, +5RR) - Improved Radiation and Energy Resistance. > Adds Radiation Resistance. Improved Energy Resistance.[/]

[]mod_armor_VaultSuit_Lining4 - Protective Lining (+10ER, +10RR) - Better Radiation and Energy Resistance. > Improved Energy and Radiation Resistance.[/]

[]mod_armor_VaultSuit_Lining5 - Shielded Lining (+15ER, +15RR) - Exceptional Radiation and Energy Resistance. > Better Energy and Radiation Resistance.

And here is an example of what has been fixed for Power Armor.

Power Armor Model Upgrades (Vanilla vs. Fixed):[/]

[]Model A(I): - Standard.[/]

[]Model B(II): - Improves Damage and Energy Resistance. > Adds Damage and Energy Resistance.[/]

[]Model C(III): - Improves Damage and Energy Resistance. > Improved Damage and Energy Resistance.[/]

[]Model D(IV): - Improves Damage and Energy Resistance. > Better Damage and Energy Resistance.[/]

[]Model E(V): - Improves Damage and Energy Resistance. > Superior Damage and Energy Resistance.[/]

[]Model F(VI): - Improves Damage and Energy Resistance. > Exceptional Damage and Energy Resistance.
