📋 About This Mod
Note 1: You should load the Unofficial Skyrim Patch (USP) before Weapons and Armor Fixes (WAF), as WAF contains many many more fixes than the USP. You might lose a few USP fixes however (mostly those that affects the display of certain armors). If you prefer visual correctness over armor accuracy (important for crafting mods, for example), load USP after WAF. I\'ll try to get rid of these incompatibilities between WAF and USP in the next release. Note 2: The mod works extremely well with Smithing Perks Overhaul which makes sure Smithing Perks behave properly, and Complete Crafting Overhaul, which adds missing crafting recipes to the game, as well as most crafting mods. I VERY highly-recommend to use both SPO and CCO along with Weapons and Armor fixes for an optimal gaming experience. Note 3: I welcome bug reports and comments. However, make sure you are using the latest version and READ THE DOCUMENTATION before going \"I can\'t wear a helmet with my Archmage\'s Robes! WTF?\".

I mean it makes sense right? Well turns out the CK is buggy-beyond what you could imagine. It can barely stay open for more than 15 minutes without crashing. How a team of people manage to use every day for for years without jumping off bridges is beyond me, I\'ve used it for 3-4 days now and I\'m ready to eat a live grenade to end my misery. Then you\'d think \'alright, well all you need to do is save every 2 minutes, and reload on a crash\'. But this neglects one thing. The CK does not even save things properly. I\'ll repeat that, the Official Editor for Skyrim does not make files in the official Skyrim .esp format. I mean what the crap? Bugthesda indeed. What this means for you the user is that WAF will not be created with the official tools, because the official tools are buggy beyond redemption. Instead I will use SkyEdit (which is a bit buggy, but at least does not corrupt files) and TESVSnip (to review and fix whatever non-standard stuff SkyEdit made). It also means that WAF will most likely not ever be on Steam, so if you have a
