Description
===========
This mod will change the required condition for the guards to comment your armor/ weapons.


Details
=======
In vanilla Skyrim, most guards will comment on your armor and weapons (swords mostly) according to what kind of armor you wear. Usually they comment on the material the armor/ weapon is made of. Then, you start installing some new armors/ weapons from other mods and then you notice the guard stop commenting on your armor/ weapons.
This happen because the condition for that comment to show up is the player must equip the exact armor (i.e guards will comment about how unreliable iron sword is IF you equip vanilla iron sword).
If you want the guards to keep commenting your equipment while wearing armor/ weapons from other mods, then this mod is for you.
What this mod does is simply change the required condition of the comment from "based on equipping the exact armor/ weapons" to "material based" of the armor or weapons.
for example, in vanilla the guard will comment about your steel sword because you equip the exact 'steel sword', if you wear another sword made of steel from another mod, the guard will stop giving comments. Now after you activate this mod, the guard will still give comment on your sword whether you're equipping the vanilla steel sword, steel katana from 'Weapons of Third Era" or even Bastard Sword from "Jaysus Sword".

To put it simply, before you install this mod :
1, Guard's comment on sword will show up only if you equip the exact vanilla sword (iron sword/ elven sword/ ebony sword/ steel sword).
2. Guard's comment on armor will show up only if you wear the exact cuirass (iron armor/ iron banded/ dwarven armor/ dragonplate cuirass/ dragonscale cuirass/ leather armor/ hide armor/ steel armor/ steel plate armor/ orcish armor/ scaled armor).

After you install this mod :
1, Guard's comment on sword will show up if you equip any sword that is categorized as iron/ steel/ elven/ ebony/ daedric.
2. Guard's comment on armor will show up if you wear at least 3 apparel (normally chest, boots, and gloves) categorized as iron/ steel/ steel plate/ dwarven/ leather/ hide/ ebony/ orcish/ scaled/ daedric/ dragonplate/ dragonscale.

Now with the new version, Guard's comment about skill will change too. It will not depends on player's skill level anymore (except for magics skill). I do this because I think it's a little weird that guards comment about your skill based on skill level (comment about light armor skill even if I don't wear light armor at all). Detailed explanation :
One Handed Weapon Skill Comment : will show up if you wear any kind of one handed weapon.
Two Handed Weapon Skill Comment : will show up if you wear any kind of two handed weapon.
Heavy/ Light Armor Skill Comment : will show up if you wear at least 3 pieces of the corresponding armor (3 pieces of light armor/ 3 pieces of heavy armor).
Archery Skill Comment : will show up if you wear any kind of bow.
Speech Skill Comment : will show up if you have successfully persuade people 50 times.
Barter (Speech) Skill Comment : will show up if you have traded with merchants for at least 200 times.
Sneaking Skill Comment : will show up if you have tresspass more than 25 times. The other comment will show up if you have more than 50 sneak attacks on your misc stat.
Alchemist Skill Comment : will show up if you have made 50 potions and 50 poisons.
Enchanting Skill Comment : will show up if you have enchant more than 50 weapons.
Pickpocket Skill Comment : will show up if you have pickpocket more than 50 times.
Lockpcik Skill Comment : will show up if you have picked more than 50 locks.
All Magic School Comment : will show up if the corresponding skill level is at least 75.

If the above settings are awkward or doesn't make any sense, feel free to give me suggestion. I might consider it.

Optional file is also available for those who doesn't want the skill comment to change or perhaps prefer other alternatives.

If you're updating, please uninstall the previous version first and create a clean save.
