AHW 1.0 readme / by Dikr

Description:

I always end up wearing the same vanilla headwear options that I like best. So based on those assets I made a collection of 20 new headwear options for more wasteland-worn headwear variety. If you like the mod, please endorse and/or vote it up. Thank you!


____________________________________________


Version 1.0 adds

- 7 new unique head wear items, most of them consisting of new combinations.
- 8 new visors (I love visors)
- 5 new shades (with customized reflections and transparency)


____________________________________________


Comes in two versions:

1. Recommended: "World Locations": the items can be found in the commonwealth and at some vendors. The rarest ones have legendary abilities and can only be found out in the world. Might conflict with other mods changing certain cells or vendor lists. See below for details.

2. For those who like it fast: "Craftable" all items can be crafted at the chem-lab under "Head Wear" and none have legendary abilities right away. Be aware: some pieces do require specific items or rare materials.

Regarding all versions:

- The shades and visors come with enchantments and can not be further customized, for the sake of realism.
- Larger pieces can be modded with linings and weaves are supported by Armorsmith Extended? and Legendary modification? for endgame viability.

Details on the cells and vendors changed for the "World Locations" version:

Warning: This is a major spoiler, only click if you have a thoroughly modified wasteland and / or vendor lists or when you encounter problems.

Known issues:

1. The shades might be pretty light in dark areas from some angles. It's a trade-off I had to make to make them look good in sunny conditions. Might require further improvement.

2. A couple of world models don't reflect in the worn model properly and some details had to be left out: I have yet to find out how to make the world models work with static objects as part of the mesh. If you can help me with that I'd love to hear from you.
