📋 About This Mod
Completely overhauls every aspect of Armor from weight to AR. Some of the features include -
- AR ranges are modified. Light armor from 5 to 40, Medium armor ranges from 15 to 60 and Heavy Armor ranges from 20 to 80.
- 7 Game Settings ( iCuirassWeight, iBootsWeight, iPauldronWeight, iGreavesWeight, iShieldWeight, fLightMaxMod and fMedMaxMod ) have been altered. This was done to give greater variety in weight for Medium and Light armors.
- Generally Heavy Armor are more durable and have higher AR, but are also more heavy. Light Armors have low durability but are , obviously, light.
- Ultraexpensive armors like Daedric, Glass, Ebony, Ice etc have reasonable costs. For example, in Vanilla Daedric cuirass cost 70,000, but now it costs 11,250. Expensive but not ridiculously expensive.
- Armor Artifacts remain unaltered except for weight which had to be modified to correctly assign Weight Category.
- Makes generic enchanted Armor's stats follow the unenchanted versions of the armor.
- Bound Weapons have equivalent weight of Daedric but has Feather enchantment, so they should still have zero weight. This was done to make Bound Armor fall into Heavy Armor category.
- Moves the 'Left'/'Right' to the end of armor names, i.e "Chitin Left Pauldron" is now "Chitin Pauldron Left" and so on.
- Feather Shield, Shield of Light and Velothi's Shield are made Chitin Towershield, Netch Towershield and Chitin Shield respectively from Steel shield. ( from MPP fixes )
- Bonemold and Orcish Pauldrons have had their 'ForeArm' part and Bonemold pauldrans have had their 'ForeArm' and 'UpperArm' parts assigned ( from MPP fixes )
- Alternate version which includes Left gloves mods by Lurlock & Alaisiagae. So now, left bracers, gauntlets and Pauldrons have correct ground mesh and icons.
- Cost and Ingredient requirements for Custom Armors of Adamantium, Ebony, Glass, Snow Bear and Snow Wolf armors have been altered to reflect the changes in cost and weights.
