📋 About This Mod

This mod makes all (with the following exception) vanilla clothing and spacesuits craftable at the Industrial Workbench.

Unique clothing with a NPCs name was recreated as new items with the names replaced with something more descriptive of the outfit. The new items are craftable instead of the NPC named items.

v1. 0 Has gone under a broad balancing in terms of research, perks, and resources required to craft items.

I'll probably go back in the future do so some fine tuning to make certain items more difficult/costly/immersive to craft.

Known Issue:

There is some lag when first entering the bench, and after crafting something, from adding all that stuff (and I wouldn't be surprised if there is some unneeded code lookup slowing things down like there was on switching weapons at launch). Bethesda really should not have gotten rid of the categories system when opening a crafting bench. That's an obvious fuckup on their part. They really should have seen people wanting to craft more things coming.

This can be mostly mitigated with using Workbench Filter Framework Creation from Bethesda.net, and you can get a patch for this mod to use it here.

As all .esm plugins made with xEdit, this mod requires Plugins.txt Enabler.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the Industrial Workbench unlocked—it's a late-game crafting station, so you might need to progress the main story or research it.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, just drop the file in and enable it; no load order tweaks needed for this one.
  • Check the workbench's crafting menu for the new recipes—they should appear under the clothing or spacesuit categories.
