📋 About This Mod
Name: Unequip Broken Armor Version: 2. 8. 2 Date: 19/8/2011 Language: All languages are supported Category: Immersion Requirements: Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE), Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) for OMOD Author: Maskar Source: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/32424
Description
This addon unequips any broken armor your character and npcs (including companions) are wearing, much like weapons already do by default. Optionally, it can replace broken armor by clothing if available in the inventory, giving the impression it was worn underneath the armor. All language versions of Oblivion and all mods modifying game setting messages, like 2nd to 1st person are supported by default. Read below for details on how to configure this addon.
When both My Voice Extender and Unequip Broken Armor are installed the player character will provide vocal information about his/her armor status. Download More Effective Enchantments to fix the effectiveness of the disintegrate armor enchantments, making them more useful. Optionally, there's also a Mass Decay spell and warhammer available for download.
No files will be replaced by installing this addon. It will however need OBSE (version 18 or higher) to function properly.
Also check out my other mods and leave feedback and/or endorsement if you like to support this addon. Thanks and enjoy!
