Hey so this isn't working with Layerable Apparel, if I put this mod after LA in the load order, it changes the stats but I can't modify it with Ballistic Weave or wear armor pieces over it. If I put it before LA in the load order, I can do all of the above but the SPECIAL bonus reverts to vanilla. Is this the reason there is an AE patch, was the same thing happening? AE kept crashing my game whenever I used an Armor Workbench so I'm trying out LA, but now this is happening. Is this problem something I can fix?
Well, I found a way to make Armorsmith Extended work after all, so screw Layerable Apparel. I love this outfit, Reginald's Suit was a such a visual disappointment. I had completely abandoned this suit, as cool as it was due to the fact that it was weaker DR than say, Military Fatigues + Armor set on top. Now it's can be better, and my Charisma gear IS my battle gear. Winning! Now, I am The Silver Shroud forever.
P.S. Anybody who wants to Shroud as hard as I am right now, I recommend Armorsmith Extended. You can add Ballistic Weave and wear armor set pieces over it now, and various other mods can make those armor set pieces invisible if that's your taste, since it it will cause clipping. The Heavy Combat Armor arm pieces actually look pretty great with this. If you are concerned with this breaking the game (as far as Ballistic Weave goes anyway, I have no excuse for the cheating by adding extra armor pieces), consider the following:
Adding only the MK 1 Ballistic Weave gives this a total DR/ER of 117, barely above the 110 possible with any normal clothes upgraded with MK V. Furthermore, Maxson's Battlecoat has a a DR of 50 and can receive these upgrades and that's just vanilla. Automatron included the weavable Mechanist Outfit with a base of 72, just 15 less than the Shroud Armor, making even the MK 4 Weave on Shroud Armor weaker than an armorsuit that is available without modding the game, and the Mark 5 only 15 points higher than it.
Thank you, a simple but very good mod. I am new to using F04Edit much, and I don't understand how to change attributes in F04Edit, except to mimic a line I find, like a +1 +1 CHA AGI. I recognize the line it is in, but could you please direct me to where I could go to get to first base on this? I tried forums but got no reply. What you did is exactly what I'm trying to learn. Thank you. UPDATE: Doh, figured it out (youtube). But thanks again.
