📋 About This Mod
UPDATE Better Armor Mod Descriptions is no longer being supported as it has been merged with Better Weapon Mod Descriptions into a single mod: Better Mod Descriptions. This merged mod includes both weapon and armor mod descriptions. DESCRIPTIONS
Update v1. 2: Added Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) Support. Fixed some more errors (thanks to etisvoloch yet again). Update v1. 2b (01. 04. 2016): Added better descriptions for all Automatron armor, including robot armor. Minor Update (04. 04. 2016): Corrected values in some robot head mods' descriptions (+100%, not +200%): Gorgon Helm (Assaultron Laser Damage), Gloom Helm (Explosive Limb Damage), Cyclops Helm (Mesmetron Damage), Berserker Helm (Limb Damage), Lament Helm (Explosive Limb Damage), Butcher Helm (Limb Damage) and Space Monkey Helm (+50% Energy Damage, not +150%).
Compatibility versions now only modify the armor modifications that are actually changed by the to-be compatible mod. You now need the main file as well as the compatible version. Load Order should be: Main File followed by Other Mod followed by Other Mod Compatible BAMD File.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 6,314 endorsements and over 109k downloads
- Solves a real annoyance—no more guessing what mods actually do
- Lightweight UI tweak that doesn't alter gameplay balance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC
