Have you noticed that every bandit in Skyrim is decked out in full armor 24-7-365?

Well, in my opinion that is highly unrealistic. There would not be enough armor for all of them even if they robbed every smith in the country. This mod adds a very small chance that the bandits will wear clothing pieces instead of some of the armor.

If you use a bashed patch, this should be compatible with everything. Refer to Wrye Bash documentation to learn how to set up a bashed patch.

Bandits from other mods will only wear cloth if the author of the mod has used vanilla leveled lists to equip them.

I am aware that this is not a mod for everyone. Some will find it ugly and/or immersion-breaking, and some might even demand my immediate execution for ruining their gaming experience. Well, I made this mod mostly for myself, and decided to upload it for the people who have even more rudimentary modding skills than I do. If you don't like it just uninstall. There are no scripts to mess up your saves.

Version 1.01 fixes an issue where some bandits would appear naked. Solved by removing hooded robes from list.

Thanks to Bethesda, the entire modding community and the coffee farmers in Colombia.
