📋 About This Mod
This fixes the clipping that occurs around the shoulder joints of power armor when the player wears anything other than the vault suit. This mod is compatible with those which retexture the frame itself. A black version is optional for those who use darker power armor frames.
I recommend TerminalGear's mod for black power armor frame: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4233/?
As a small side effect, when wearing a vault suit underneath your power armor, no longer will you see the blue sleeves, ect. as this mod retextures the undersuit itself, and I am currently unaware as how to make a standalone variant (cannot custom material swap PA Frames).
If you experience clipping with BoS armor or Greaser Jacket and jeans outfits, let me know and I'll fix it.
