📋 About This Mod

The Empress' Clothes is a mod that provides invisible armor pieces for the head, shoulders, arms and legs. This mod can be used stand alone or with IVAP for LE3 and/or EGM Armors for LE3.

The motivation for creating this mod was to supply complementary or alternative invisible armor pieces to IVAP's offering with a set of stats across the spectrum.

The Collections

All collections include pieces for head, shoulders, arms and legs. Stats listed are for each individual piece.

'No Bonuses' Collection

No bonus stats. Only installed if neither IVAP nor EGM Armors are installed.

Installation

The installation detects if IVAP or EGM Armors is installed and will not add armor parts that have no stats if either IVAP or EGM Armors is present. This is to help with duplicates of 'None' pieces.

If you install or uninstall either IVAP or EGM Armors after installing this mod, simply re-install this mod and it will 'do the right thing' and install or uninstall this mod's 'No Bonuses' collection of the armor pieces.

Added an alternative installation that does not test for IVAP or EGM Armors. This allows the installation to provide options: All Armor Pieces, OP Collection or the No Bonuses Collection. This may appeal to those who want more control over the number of armor pieces that are installed. Since the two installations install the same armor pieces with the same IDs, do not install both.

Use ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install. Drag and drop the zip file to the manager and install (or import, then 'Apply Mod'). Importing mods has a couple of benefits including the ability to update mods directly from the Mod Manager.

Uninstallation

In ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, tap the "Manage Target" button on the upper right. Make sure the edition of the game you are targeting is selected in the drop-down list positioned on top of the tabs. Select this mod and tap disable or delete as appropriate.
