📋 About This Mod

Description:

This is a new armor made from in-game armor pieces. With a wearable hood (on your head or lowered on your back). Has its own gloves, and a bag. It is called "Expert Adventurer Armor", because i made it with higher level characters in mind, and because i couldn't come up with a better name.

It is medium and has 20 DT. The hood has the usual +1 perception boost and +5 to barter and speech (because hoods are cool) The bag gives you +50 to your carry weight limit.  The gloves are only there for the looks, so is the lowered hood.

The base armor does not actually have a hood, it comes as two separate armor pieces. So you have to equip the hood separately, the "up" or "down" version. (just like a helmet or a backpack etc.) (Also you can wear the armor without any hood at all. Or with both hoods on, if you want to look like an idiot.)

MINOR UPDATE: Vanilla patches for both genders

UPDATE: FIX for skin in new main version. (It's the same as the old one, but the underarms skin wasn't working properly with the facegen skin shades, because i wasn't aware of one tiny shader flag.) If you dont use any body patches, and use the old version, download the skin fix. The patches also fix the issue, but you have to re-dowload them if you had already before the fix. (Just simply install and overwrite)

At Nipton Road Reststop (see screenshot if unfamiliar), on your left when you enter the store, in a conspicuous crate.

Requirements:

Roberts male body  T3 female body (but as far as i know it looks acceptable with vanilla skin too) There is a patch for Breezes guys.

Lonesome Road DLC  It is only required because I used mesh pieces from it,  you don't need to go to the area and start the quest, just have it installed.

Not necessary but i recommend a handheld pipboy replacer too.

Nothing special, with mod manager or manually. (unzip, put the content of the meshes folder into your meshes folder and do so with the textures folder too, put the esp into your data folder and activate it.) If you use Breezes males, download the main mod, then download the patch, install and overwrite.  Update: Vanila patches. Just install them after the main mod.

Issues: The male version has a bit of a clipping issue with the pipboy in 1st person (it means some parts of the sleeve get through the pipboy, but you can still use it without a problem) It might wont look 100% anatomically correct when you get torn to pieces
