About this mod
This mod takes Sandman101\'s fantastic Armor and Weapons mod compilation and balances them. There is a special esp for use with BTB\'s GI which is to be used instead of BTB\'s Equipment esp.

Sandman101's H.E.L.L.U.V.A. mods are a wonderful creation. However, the weapons and armors that are added stay true to the original modder's intent, thus being unbalanced or possibly overpowered. What I have done is taken the armors and weapons added by the mod and balanced them.
The balancing is quite extreme. For example, I wanted the prices to be low so that these would be useful armors to use, but not a money maker. So the daedric armors/weapons in this mod have prices close to 2500 (as opposed the vanilla daedric which is 70k for armor or 120k for the most expensive daedric weapon). My intent was to balance HELLUVA items to be used alongside another balancer, such as Alaisiagae's Armor Integrative Modifications or BTB's Game Improvements. If you'd rather not use those mods, I have also created a version that modifies vanilla items as well. New in version 2 is the addition of left glove meshes and icons for all HELLUVA armor.
-The vanilla addon and the BTB version have Alaisagae's Left Gloves addon (which includes Lurlock's Left Gloves). In addition, the BTB version include Alisiagae's Unique Finery mod.
-The TR addon will balance all the TR weapons and armors. Currently based on the Sacred East release.
-The Creatures Addon is meant for PirateLord's Creatures XI. This addon will balance the weapons/armors added and should be used after Creatures XI As this only changes the stats of the weapons/armors used in the mod, it will work with any future version of Creatures as well, though it will need an update if he adds new weapons/armors to it.
-By request, I've also created a version that strips down the armors in the mod to only Completion Set armors, meaning new armors that complete armor sets from vanilla. There are versions of this, a BTB version and a normal one.
I also encourage people to look at the included spreadsheet to see how I balanced things and if there are things you wish to improve upon.

This mod REPLACES the Helluva esps (make sure to keep the esm though). Currently v14 of his mod is integrated into this one (the 14.x versions do not change the equipment plugin so there is no need to update yet). If using the BTB version, this replaces Unique Finery and Lurlock's Left Gloves as well, so uncheck those esps if you use them.
To avoid confusion, below lists each esp and what mods and resources you'll need you'll need to use with them

Alaisiagae provided me with a very nicely organized spreadsheet which she used to balance vanilla weapons. Initially I simply modified this to modify all the HELLUVA items as well, however as the mod evolved expanded the equations and the balancing. Thus, the mathematical genius that is Alaisiagae is what allowed me to create this mod. Much of the credit goes to her that.
There are also 3 optional esps you can choose from, so you can mix and match as you please. Please note that the Vanilla addon would be redundant if you choose a BTB or Completion Set versions above.
HELLUVA Balanced Vanilla Addon (Modifies Vanilla equipment. Useful for those without a seperate equipment balancing mod).
HELLUVA Balanced TR (Useful for those that want Tamriel Rebuilt's weapons and armors balanced as well).
HELLUVA Balanced Creatures Addon (Balances the weapons/armors in PirateLord's Creatures mod).
TO BE CLEAR: Complete doesn't contain the vanilla additions, just the HELLUVA resources. If you want to have it all balanced (probably because you don't have another balancer) then you ALSO need Vanilla addon.
Known Issues or Bugs
====================
As there are many new items from this mod, there have been a couple of armors that had the wrong stats attached to them. I have corrected the ones given in bug reports but there may be a few more hidden in there somewhere. If you notice one please notify me at Bethesda forums.
History

1.0- Initial Release
1.1- Improved balancing and a much more compatible BTB version
1.2- Found 8 weapons which were categorized incorrectly.
1.21- Corrected a reintroduced bug from the last patch
1.22- Somehow a single dire weapon refused to take the changes I gave it. Fixed that
2.0- An overhaul to the mod. New stats as well as left gloves and Ali's Unique Finery integrated
2.2- Updated BTB Version to his latest version 14 and new to this version is a Completion Set esp.
