📋 About This Mod
A new armor with several headgear options and a backpack.
Armor Backpack Goggles Goggles on forehead Headset Baseball cap Backwards baseball cap Baseball cap with goggles on it Backwards baseball cap with goggles on it Pair of gloves Backpack
Almost everything is made out if in-game armor pieces, and has custom textures.
The armor is light, has 18 DT, and adds +5 to science and repair. The backpack gives you +50 carry weight and +1 intelligence. The goggles give you +1 perception and +10 crit. chance (and compatible with four eyes trait). The headset gives you +5 to explosives. The baseball caps give you +1 perception. The gloves and forehead goggles are only decoration. (I've tried to add the stats so they make at least a little sense)
Optional: If you use the Advanced Recon Thermal and Nightvison mod, and download the copmpatibility file, the goggles will use it's thermal and nightvison feature. (This mod doesn't use anything from it, just adds my goggles to the form list of compatible headgears)
The armor can be repaired with leather armor, combat armor and some wasteland outfits, the caps and the headset can be repaired with several vanilla hats and helmets, the goggles can be repaired with vanilla eyewear, the gloves can be repaired with head wraps and bandanas, the backpack can be repaired with scrap electronics and scrap metal.
Requirements:
Just tha vanilla game. (Based on vanilla bodies but probably works with most body replacers) For the nightvison option you need Advanced Recon (and NVSE) of course.
Location:
At Jean Sky Divng, on your right when you enter the shack, behind a generator thing, in a crate. (see location in scrrenshots if unfamiliar)
Install: Nothing special, with mod manager or manually by placing the contenst into your data folder and activating the esp. For the Advanced Recon Tech compatibility download the optional file after you've downoalded the main mod, then overwrite.
Possible issues:
Dismemberment is incorrect (it looks weird in vats and when you get torn to pieces). Ground objects are boxes and pipboy icons are just texts. Some headgear, especially the headset might be clippy with some hairstyles, nothing can be done about that. The headgears are separate items so you can mix them, but the forehead goggles were either clippy with the head or the cap, so i had to make a cap-with-goggles item to wear them together.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple armor mod, you can install it manually by dropping files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex makes uninstalling easier.
- Check the armor's stats in-game to see if it fits your build — the description doesn't list them, so you'll need to test it out.
- If you're using other armor mods, be aware of potential conflicts in the armor lists — load order might matter if you see issues.
