📋 About This Mod
Fallout 4 has armor mods. Fallout 4 does not allow you to apply these armor mods to very many pieces of equipment. I did not like this, so I changed it. Now made with FO4Edit, so say goodbye to dirty, filthy hex editing.
Comes in two flavors.
Normal: Adds a slot for ballistic weave(improved PD/ED) to almost every outfit and helmet. Adds a misc slot for an insulated lining(improves ED/RD) OR one of the other armor mods, such as pocketed, light weight, dense, muffled, etc.
More Slots: Does the same thing as a above, but also reduces the number of slots many pieces of equipment occupy, allowing you to wear them together. Might be somewhat stronger than possible vanilla combinations.
Note that this mod does not allow you to bypass the quest requirement to unlock the armor modification in the first place. You must still do that, or use the following console command: set RailroadClothingArmorModAvailable to 1
Both versions allow players to look significantly more dapper, or otherwise, without sacrificing a tremendous amount of protection. No need to cover yourself in glue and roll around in a dumpster for good defenses.
I should have gotten most outfits, but let me know if I missed anything.
Special Thanks Brianide: For helping me an awful lot with the original version of this mod made without FOSnip.
