📋 About This Mod
Better Cloth Enchanting v1. 0 Direct any questions or comments to the official forum thread here. Check out my other mods for Oblivion and Skyrim here. Better Cloth Enchanting is a super-simple mod to make going unarmored a little more appealing: by boosting the power of player-made enchantments on clothes and jewelry by 50%! So how does it work? Exactly what I said. Any armor enchantment that has a magnitude will be 50% stronger when added to clothing or jewelry. This will work on any enchantment, even ones added by mods. It will work on mod-added clothes, too, as long as the clothes are properly tagged in the CK (This means they have the \"ArmorJewelry\" or \"ArmorClothing\" keywords). Uh... That\'s all? Yeah, that\'s all! I thought about adding different boosts to different material types, like in Morrowind (in Morrowind, the max strength of an enchantment depended on the item you put it on). I may still do that. For instance, give a boost to silver weapons and daedric armor and such. Then again, I may not. In either case, the source code is packaged in the .bsa, so if you want to give it a shot, go wild. So how do I install it? If you\'re on Steam, subscribe. If you\'re on Nexus, unzip the most recent file directly into your Data folder. To uninstall... Well, best not uninstall. I don\'t know if it\'ll do bad things to your game. Skyrim is weird like that. If you do, just uncheck Better Cloth Enchanting in your mod order and pray to the deity of your choice. Hey, I thought you retired from modding! First, thanks for asking. It\'s cool to know you care! Second, well, yeah. I did. But I wanted this feature, and I couldn\'t find any other mods that added it. Besides, this is a little sneeze of a mod. Anything else I should know? As always, my mods are a resource (of questionable value, but still, a resource). Feel free to take it apart and learn from it, incorporate these techniques into your own modding, whatever you want. Go wild. Don\'t need to ask me first, don\'t need to credit me. Unless you\'re just re-uploading this mod without making any changes. Then credit is very much appreciated.
This mod boosts the effectiveness of player-crafted enchantments on cloth armor and jewelry by 50%, making them more viable for magic-focused builds. It's a simple, lightweight tweak for Skyrim players who want stronger enchanted gear without overhauling the system.
