📋 About This Mod

The phrase "if wearing robes and no light or heavy armor" is the bane of my existence. Wearing robes already bars you from receiving most of the wonderful perk effects and bonuses from Ordinator's light armor and heavy armor trees. Wearing a full set of robes only lets you benefit from a possible three perks! Bah!

What Does This Mod Do?

This mod lowers the requirements of any robe-based perks in EnaiSiaion's beautiful perk overhaul Ordinator. The condition "if wearing robes and no light or heavy armor" originally required you to wearing a clothing item in your body slot (e.g. a tunic, college robes) and no armor. This mod changes that condition to "if wearing robes" and nothing else. Meaning as long as you are wearing a clothing in your body slot, you can wear as many armor pieces otherwise and still benefit from perks such as Energy Shield, Robes of the Magi, and protection spell bonuses too! To balance out the potential power boost first level of Mage Armor gives a 75% increase in potency, rather than the original 100%. The last two perks still give 50% each, allowing for all three ranks to give 175% bonus armor instead of 200%. I also plan to balance out the other perks too. Additionally all other robe-based perks (except Energy Shield) have their magnitude reduced by 5%.

Is This Balanced/Lore-Friendly?

I am a heavy believer in BYOG (Balance Your Own Game). For me, robes aren't treated as a class of gear like light armor or heavy armor, but just a lack of armor. Especially with Ordinator, wearing one piece of clothing immediately cuts you out of gaining perk effects. Here are some reasons you may need this mod.

[]In the vanilla game, pre-enchanted clothing items don't exist in random loot. You can find Apprenctice Robes of Destruction, or Steel Boots of Muffling, but something like Barkeeper Shoes of Sneaking cannot be found. Meaning that barring unique items like Cicero's Shoes, the only randomly generated enchanted gloves or boots you can find are light or heavy armor. And if you're a mage (without this mod) you're shit out of luck.

[]The aforementioned being, well, mentioned, the only way to get non-unique enchanted gloves or boots is by making them yourself; and maybe you don't want to spec into enchanting every god damned time.

[]You can get around this with the combined effort of the mods Lootification or Loot and Degradation, but Lootification for SSE (for me at least) is super buggy and doesn't work. That was the only way for a mage to use Ordinator's perks and have cool gloves too; until now!

[]What if you want to wear a dragon priest mask with robes?

[]Maybe you use True Armor or Know Your Enemy and want some specific stat boosts from armor types.

[]Maybe you want to look like a Vigilant of Stendar and rock the steel boots/glove combo

  • Fixes a frustrating limitation for mage builds that want armor on hands and feet
  • Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul anything else, just relaxes one restriction

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Ordinator's robe perks, so if you don't use Ordinator, this mod does nothing
  • May conflict with other mods that alter Ordinator's perk conditions or robe restrictions
  • Last updated in 2018, so it might not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions or Ordinator updates

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Ordinator installed and active before adding this mod, as it modifies Ordinator's perk conditions.
  • Load this mod after Ordinator in your load order to ensure the changes take effect properly.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
