📋 About This Mod
Description
Confused and frustrated by the seemingly random distribution of the ballistic weave mod? Want to look your best without getting slaughtered? Tired of wearing the newsboy cap? Well then I have the mod for you! Expanded Ballistic Weave aims to add the ballistic weave mod to nearly every article of clothing in The Commonwealth.
This mod DOES allow you to add ballistic weave to most of the clothing in the base game and all DLCs. This mod DOES NOT remove the requirement of finishing the Railroad quest in order to gain access to the ballistic weave mod. I recommend No Rail Road Ballistic Weave for that. This mod DOES NOT allow you to add ballistic weave to armor pieces and other non-clothing (i.e. Metal Helmet). This mod DOES NOT allow you to wear armor pieces over any piece of clothing. I recommend Armorsmith Extended for that.
Check the readme for a full list of clothing items changed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (6,012 endorsements) — this is a go-to for outfit armor.
- Massive download count (186k) means it's been tested by tons of players.
- Simple concept, huge impact: makes any outfit viable for late-game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Overrides vanilla clothing stats, which might conflict with other armor mods.
For Fallout 4 players who want to wear stylish clothes without sacrificing defense. Perfect for roleplayers and fashion-conscious survivors who hate swapping to ugly armor. Skip if you prefer gameplay overhauls or if you're on a mod list that already tweaks ballistic weave.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Armorer perk (rank 4) to craft ballistic weave mods.
- If you use other clothing mods, load Expanded Ballistic Weave after them to ensure it applies.
- Check if the mod requires the base game's ballistic weave quest (PAM) to be unlocked first.
