Combat Realism - Weapons Armor and Blocking

VERSION 4. 5 UPDATES:

First off, I want to thank MrGamer100, without whose help I probably would have lacked the initiative to fix all that was broken with this mod. So yeah, thanks so much!

Version 4. 5 is a pseudo-update to the Version 4 I released a few days ago. This version fixes all the altered textures issues from previous editions - weapons should now appear as they're meant to. Also includes the recent addition of armor ratings for clothing.

VERSION 4. 0 UPDATES:

After an extended absence from Skyrim and modding in general, I've returned with an updated version of this mod. Version 4. 0 finally fixes the much-maligned Dawnbreaker mesh issue, along with the lesser-noticed but still despised Forsworn Bow mesh issue. I've also corrected a few minor typos and small errors. Furthermore, the largest change to the mod's core concept in this version is the addition and incorporation of clothing as Light Armor. I've been pretty deeply entrenched lately in learning about historical armor, most notably gambesons and other cloth armors. Such armor was not only ubiquitous and cross-cultural in the past, but it has actually proven far more effective as armor than leather and other "light" armor materials (though, to be fair, leather armor in the fantasy biker-gear sense was never an historical innovation). In any case, I always found it troubling and inaccurate that the clothing in Skyrim - from the lowliest ragged trousers to the exquisite quilted finery - offered no protective value whatsoever. Now, almost every article of clothing (with the exception of, like, hand wraps and tattered head scarves and such) offers some degree of protection. Moreover, the blue and brown quilted versions of the "Fine Clothes" have been aptly renamed to "Quilted Gambeson", to reflect what they actually are; their prices have been accordingly increased and their protective value is superb for cloth armor (on par with leather and fur). I hope the inclusion of clothing as armor not only furthers the aim of this mod (to make combat and defense more realistic), but also deepens and expands roleplaying opportunities and player choice. Just a quick note: if there are any subsequent issues with Dawnbreaker or other meshes, please message me and I'll do my best to respond and remedy the problems. Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement and constructive criticism. ENJOY!      ( - Rowan 2/1/2018)

VERSION 3. 0 UPDATES, Hothtrooper44 Armor Compilation Compatibility Patch:

Fixed a number of small errors, minor tweaks, diversified bows a bit. This mod also now supports compatibility with hothtrooper44's amazing compilation of new armors. All armor and shields added by that mod have now been slightly tweaked to facilitate compatibility with Combat Realism. I'm currently working on a compatibility patch for hothtrooper's weapon compilation, but it's a lot more comprehensive and complex than the armor mod, so it's defin
