📋 About This Mod

Would everyone be interested in a custom crafting menu for this mod, I have figured out how to make my own menu for my items which would cut down on lag and overcrowding. Only thing is it would be craft able only from your inventory (through a special item) and would have a single tiny script that would run when you click on said item. Looking for actual feedback. Yes? No? Please post in thread.

This is my first SSE upload, please let me know if there are any issues. Also dont forget to endorse please.

======= Update =======

2. 4: - Changed Fur Crafting Kit recipe requirements. - Renamed everything to hopefully make more sense. - Updated all keywords to work with Frostfall 3. 3. 1 and up. - Changed manual installation folder setup to prevent users from having more then one main .esp. - Added two higher tier hood options. - Created SSE PC version. - SSE Xbox version.

========== Description ==========

Winter Is Coming - Cloaks adds lore friendly cloaks and hoods into the world through the use of level lists and crafting, this will add more diversity to the game while keeping the "feel" of Skyrim. I was heavily inspired by Viking art and the HBO series Game of Thrones( A Song of Ice and Fire book series), none of the cloaks in the mod however are based on Game of Thrones simply inspired by.

Currently in game:

Bear Claw Cloaks: 9 Bear Hoods: 9 Armored Light Bear Hoods: 9 Armored Heavy Bear Hoods: 9

Wolf Skin Cloaks: 12 Wolf Skin Hoods: 15 Armored Light Wolf Skin Hoods: 15 Armored Heavy Wolf Skin Hoods: 15

All items work with all vanilla races, genders and can be found, bought or even crafted in game at the tanning rack. Armored items can be tempered and both hoods and cloaks can be enchanted as well.

WIC is fully compatible with Frostfall 3. 3. 1+ and with the legacy 2. 6 version.

======== Crafting ========

To craft any of the items in WIC you MUST first have a Fur Crafting Kit, you can either craft the Fur Crafting Kit at the Tanning Rack or you can try and buy them from a merchant. Without a Fur Crafting Kit NO items will appear in the crafting menu, this is to help cut back on
