Thank you for all the nice comments. Was away for a while (nice first reason: playing MEA. Not so nice second reason: was in hospital). I will read all of them (for all my mods) and try to answer as much as possible - at first the ones reagarding issius and bugs. Sorry for the delays and thanks for your understanding.
Attention: Since there were a lot of less than nice comments (to say it politely) for the first upload I will take HN66's advice this time and delete or report everything that isn't "decent" or "polite". No comments wether or not this armor makes sense. If you want to express your thoughts or meanings, use another mod for it. There are enough mods out there more worthwhile for a sprawling discussion.
If you don't like it, move along. Certainly you will find another armor that fits your taste.
If you like it, feel free to leave an endorsement - the official "payment" for a modder, even if he/she isn't one of the "famous" ones. He/she appreciates it as well.
Great edit actually, it definitely meshes better against a realistic-sized bust compared to the old Madonna look lol. Nice to have for variety at the least, and would make a good mat swap option with a little FO4Edit tweaking. Thanks for this, makes me want to use the Sirius set again after skipping it my last couple playthroughs lol.
Great mod I think it makes the armor more realistic without the Madonna accoutrements thanks keep up the great work. In my opinion Friffy's mod the best armour upload ever to grace the pages of NEXUS and for you to enhance this with your mod makes this suit the perfect setup that should be in everyone's load order ... thank you very much and keep up the great work ..... ENDORSED and TRACKING
Have just re-installed this mod for a new game ... working perfectly EXCEPT my character now has a dark face but the rest of the body is pale ... ant suggestions ?
While I have no problem with either female or male shapes of the original armor, the female one made my char's waist ridiculously small for some reason (I use the vanilla body, not CBBE). Your mod fixed that, now the waist is basically the same shape as it was with the armor off.
I would adore a version/optional that adds a long overcoat fitted to the armor and body while wearing this, like the NCR Ranger's coat. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9034/? I bet that would look amazing, but it's not something I'm capable of doing.
YOu can just wear the Ncr Rangers coat with it or the handmaiden overcoat, whatever you want, if it takes the place of your torso and makes the outfit go away just change the coat in the esp to unarmed, then you can wear it on top of this, but I believe the overcoats can be worn over most outfits. I have done this to a few of mine.
I won't use the armor because I prefer more normal-looking clothes but I want to say nice work. "Female armor" looks ridiculous (as opposed to armor made to fit females). Many times in the past, I've downloaded some nice-looking armor just to be disappointed when I learn that it uses a different silly-looking mesh for females.
Thank you very much arrOwhead. And since this is my "bad" day I want to say that female "armor" does not only looks ridiculous - from what I can tell of most of the popular mods or screenshots, wihle male prodagonists have to look "bad ass" and "heroic", female prodagonist have to looks like cheap sluts. A female char isn't "great" if she wears armor that covers most of her body. "Easy Victoria's Secrets Pinup Sluts"... Strange gaming world... I have to apologize, I'm in a very bad mood today...
I have to agree with you Friffy. The female armors are kind of ridiculous looking. Huge double E breast covered by a thin piece of cloth or armor isn't going to offer any protection. People always complain about mods not being immersive but if you look at the armor and clothing sections not of that stuff is immersive hardly.
Da, must seem to be some sort of functional - i don't mind sensible adjustment for body shape between male and female - armor should be comfortable - but Madonna clothes not for warriors. Mebbe am 'stick from the mud' - but better that than 'Jerky Boy'. I like the Sirius sets with and without - my thanks to the fine talented persons who provide such of things.
as a guy I play female, but I'm always one to make a badass, scarred beaten character they usually have some tac vest, a hood or something if you look in the right places you can make badass females (just check the whole war and culty stuff in my screenshots. :) )
I first experienced this phenomenon in Skyrim mods. Female armors and clothing probably outnumber male 5:1 or more (probably much more) and it's tough to find anything you'd actually want to wear if you were going to face someone who wants to put a length of sharp steel into you. All the skimpy armor mods, Jesus. What can you count on the armor to do 9 times out of 10? Cover the legs and arms and shoulders, but leave exposed the breast... no thought to protect the heart I suppose. And make sure you reveal the belly, right where all those things like, intestines, stomach, pancreas, liver, kidneys, bladder lie just under a thin layer of skin, fat and muscle... meh, but who needs any of those things anyways when you can make sure everyone can see your navel and flat stomach. Oh, and the ass... not that it's particularly vital. There's a reason why in tactical shooting courses it's called aiming for "center mass" and not "center ass". It's one of the best places to get shot if you absolutely have to get shot, but still, the legs are covered, the arms are covered... I wonder why the ass isn't covered? Hmm... what a mystery. OH! and don't get me started on high heels and hyper-feminine running mods. I do play female characters (as well as male) but my females are hard. And a pretty woman can be tough, and a tough woman can have larger breasts (as it's mostly down to genetics and weight in the real world) so it's not to do with looks, and breast size (though, if I were a female with big breasts and I found myself in a violence-filled survival situation, I'd probably be wishing I had smaller breasts rather than larger). But my idea of a tough female character is that they're muscular, they're lean, they're athletic, they usually have practical haircuts (cropped short or pulled back) and they can move fast and kick ass and they definitely look like they belong on the battlefield. And they wear gear that actually looks like it would protect them.
Anyways, I generally operate by that rule, if I have nothing nice to say, then say nothing, and so when I see these mods, I just roll my eyes a bit and move on, but it's nice to vent a bit here around others who feel the same way. Thanks for offering some alternatives.
I love this armor! I'm actually thinking that I'll do a playthrough as a female character just because of this armor. Your character looks like a total badass. Too any of the female outfits are like some 13 year old's idea of a Mad Max hooker.
update -Version 2.30 of HN66s SIRIUS.12 Assault Suit is available and HN66s SIRIUS.16 Assault Armor -CBBE- and -SHB- has also been released. Will you be updating this file?
I was just looking at the SIRIUS.16 armour and noticed that it offers a similar style option for the breast plate. It kind of makes this mod obsolete unless you plan to continue using the SIRIUS.12 armour as anything more than a base mod.
If all you want is to have a better chest, then this mod is perfect. If you want a completely redone armor that looks like stripper Iron Man, then the SIRIUS.16 expansion is for you.

Did you change this armor bodysliders? Would it be possible for you to upload optional file that doesn't change original proportions?
Love the change btw!
