📋 About This Mod
Amazing poster artwork by TheKite!
When the US Military first captured the working Chinese Stealth Suit they focused on copying the stealth capabilities, however visor component was left to be reverse engineered by Commonwealth Institute of Technology. With the great collapse and the destruction of the CIT campus the project was thought to be lost, but with recent excavations from within the Institute the technology has been rediscovered and the project resumed. Named after the Owl for its superior vision, the Strigidae Visor is capable of greatly augmenting the wearers vision in a multitude of useful ways, from highlighting potential threats to targeting assistance.
The Strigidae suit is made up of 4 unique parts: Suit(underarmor)/Armguards/Visor/Overcoat. Each part has its own customization, see the 'unique mods' section below for a complete detailed breakdown.
By default the mod does NOT edit any leveled lists, however it comes with a holotape which can be used to run a scripted inject into the default list of leveled coursers. If you already have a balance mod that effects coursers or you don't want anyone else to have the Strigidae Suit you can throw away the holotape. Once activated though the holotape menu, newly spawned leveled Coursers will have a 50% chance to be Strigidae Coursers (which can be male or female). Strigidae Coursers have the same leveled stats as their vanilla Courser counterparts, however they are more resilient due to better armor.

This mod was made with Vanilla male and CBBE female bodies in mind, however a there is a Vanilla female option in the files section. CBBE files are included in the main download for building your preset of choice.
While not required, I cannot suggest enough registrator2000's Crafting Highlight Fix. His F4se plugin will allow you to have color previews in the crafting menu.
Check out my Artstation Project page for a full 3D preview:
--After the holotape is used any generic courser (spawned by leveled quests/lists) has a 50% chance to be a Strigidae Courser.
--After you have used the holo tape you can throw it away, or if you want to use it later you can re-craft it at a chemlab.
-You can craft the full suit at a chemlab (or Cybernetics Lab if you use CROSS_Cybernetics).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community favorite with 29,087 endorsements and over 2.1 million downloads—this is a proven, polished armor mod.
- The modular design (4 pieces with unique mods) gives you real customization options, not just a static outfit.
- The holotape injection system is a smart touch—you can keep the armor exclusive to yourself or let Coursers wear it, without forcing changes on your game.
- Lore-friendly and visually striking, with poster art by TheKite, so it fits right into the Commonwealth.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2017, so it's been years without updates—might have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches.
- Designed for vanilla male and CBBE female bodies, so if you use a different body mod (like Fusion Girl), you might see clipping or need patches.
- The 50% spawn chance for Strigidae Coursers could be a bit high if you want the armor to feel rare—you might end up seeing it everywhere.
For Fallout 4 players who want a high-quality, lore-friendly armor set that adds both visual flair and gameplay variety. If you're a fan of CROSS mods or enjoy collecting unique gear, this is a must-have. Skip if you're not into cosmetic armor mods or if you prefer minimal changes to enemy spawns.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on PC, use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager makes uninstalling clean.
- The holotape is key: if you want Coursers to wear the armor, craft it at a chemistry station and run the injection. If you don't, just toss it.
- For CBBE users, make sure you have the CBBE body mod installed first, or the female armor might not fit properly.
