📋 About This Mod

Armored General

by Hothtrooper44

The position "General of the Minutemen" has an official badge of office, the General's Uniform. The original uniform is a dapper coat over armor plates. I rather liked the concept, but it had a pretty big flaw - scalability. This armor is, depending on your particular playthrough, usually an effective set for protection in battle when it's found. Later in the game however, there is no way to improve the armor, and even as someone who was proud to show the whole Commonwealth that I was the General of the Minutemen, I had to abandon the uniform for better protection in time.

This mod seeks to remedy that issue. You can now craft a more heavily armored version of the uniform with appropriately higher statistics.

You can look the part of General even in the late game - and look good doing it!

Custom fitted in modeling software for minimal clipping

Unique male and female meshes - including ground models and 1st person models

Completely standalone - does not alter the original General's Uniform

Four variations, all individually craftable - (Blue/Grey/Brown/Patterned)

Craftable in the Chemistry Station under the "Utility" section (requires rank 2 armor smith)

Moddable in the Armor Crafting Station

New in Version 2:

By popular demand, a version is now craftable with no side plates (see screenshots)

New quest based crafting conditions - the player will have to find the original General Outfit before this one can be crafted

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects the general's uniform; if you're not a Minutemen role-player, this mod offers little.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2016, check if it requires any DLC or updates—if you have all DLC, it should work, but test in a new save.
  • Use a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex to install and manage this mod, making it easy to disable if issues arise.
  • If you're on PC, make sure your game is updated to a version compatible with mods from that era; consider using a mod loader like F4SE if needed.
