About this mod
This mod serves to diversify and improve the stats and worth of Vaultsuits, Security Vests, and Boomer outfit sets to be more unique and stand out on its own more or be less irrelevant.
But only to a degree so as not be overpowered or balance breaking.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Description
Ever felt bothered by the fact that the Vault Suits have like +2 Melee Weapon despite there being no indication at all for it having this EFF?
Or that the Vault Suits become essentially a collectors' item even while you were still in Goodsprings?
Well fret not, if you were just as bothered as I was, this Uniquely Balanced overhaul is just what your (presumably new) game needs!
Within this overhaul Vault Suits may demonstrate unique identities such as that of Vault 22 or 34, and even have their EFF upgraded after completing the quest Suits You, Sarah. It's mostly just a CHA bonus, but for the classic Vault 21 suit they get a little bonus to match their vault, but more on that later.
To add to my Vault Suit rebalancing, I've also taken notice of two groups connected to it. The Security Vests from both Vault 34 and the Sierra Madre, as well as the entire Boomer set.

Installation
You can just install this with your mod manager or manually place it in your Data file in your game's root directory. Like my other UBV mod, It's a very basic .esp file.
Note:
There is a main file which consists of all 3 major edits.
There is also an alternative FNV Vanilla Hat Fix patch if you prefer for hair to clip through your helmets.
And if one of them doesn't interest you for whatever reason, you can simply download one of the optional ones that contains a singular major edit.

*To tell the truth I've been sitting on a lot of these edits, just waiting until they seem appropriate to be released as a mod*

Requirement
- This goes without saying, but for the edits that tackle the Security Vests, you'll need the Dead Money DLC.
- The Vaultsuits edit also includes one for the Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit from the Courier's Stash.
Installation

Note:
- As this mod only affects Vanilla and DLC armor stats, it should be compatible with just about anything so long as it doesn't manipulate the specified armor.
- If you load it above YUP or any other mods that alter these specific armor, expect it to not have any changes.

Vault Suits
Spoiler:

*Due to how tight and comfortable Vault Suits are described to be, all Vault Suits in general will give +1 AGL.
*The DT of most Vault Suits have also been increased to 1 as these suits are slightly more durable and protective than regular clothing.
*Vault 3, 11, and 19 Jumpsuits are grouped under Normal Vault Jumpsuits, and all have a focus on giving you +2 Speech due to how most of these Vaults have democratic elements in them, and that Vault Dwellers usually have a more stellar reputation than most Wastelanders or Tribals.
*Vault 22 and 34 both have unique elements that replaces its +2 Speech.
*Vault 22 is a Vault dedicated to the research of botanical studies, as a result it gets +2 Science.
*Vault 34 is an experiment Vault with a focus on a gun centric culture, giving them +2 Guns.
*Vault 21 jumpsuits are unique in that they share the +2 Speech of Normal Vaultsuits, but due to how you start with one, I couldn't just give you its unique EFF to properly reflect Vault 21's identity. So I compromised.
*Once the quest Suits You, Sarah has been completed Vault 21 Jumpsuits get its +1 LUK. I'd wager this would be far enough in the game for it to not hurt the game's progression, and that it'd be a nice LUK boosting item to have if you don't have anything else yet while on the Strip.
*Completing Suits You, Sarah also gives most Vault Suits +1 to CHA. In the Normal Vault Jumpsuits' case, their +2 Speech is replaced.
*The Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit is combat focused, giving it both +2 Guns and Melee Weapons.
*The WGH of the Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit has also been reduced to 5 to represent how light it actually should be.

Security Vests
Spoiler:
Show
*The Vault 34 Security Armor is similar to the Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit, however being more cumbersome, it loses its +1 AGL.
*The Vault Security Armor doesn't strike me as somehow more protective than Combat Gear, so it has its DT reduced to 15.
*The Armor also seems like it could help support energy weapons capabilities, so it gets +2 Energy Weap.
*The Security Helmets in general have their HP increased by 5 to be more durable.
*The Vault 34 Security Helmet is similar to riot police gear, due to this it has +1 PER and +2 Melee Weap. It also has a Set Bonus that gives it +2 Speech for authority purposes.
*The Sierra Madre sets are essentially the same as the Vault Security set, however they boast better overall stats and EFF.
*Sierra Madre Security Helmets both look to be more sturdy built than the Vault variant, giving them +3 and then +5 Melee Weap respectively.
*Sierra Madre Security Armor has the same EFF as the Vault variant, but has +1 DT more.
*As an upgraded version, the Reinforced variant has +5 in both Energy Weap and Guns, as well as +1 END.
*Both Sierra Madre helmets can get their Set Bonus with either the normal or reinforced variants, but not with the Vault Security Armor.

Boomer Outfits
Spoiler:
Show
*In addition to the +1 AGL of Vaultsuits, all Boomer suits finally increases your Explosives by +5! (giving you a reason to gnab them for an explosives run)
*Due to the Boomers being descendants from Vault 34, as well as their continued practice of their gun culture, they retain the +2 Guns of the Jumpsuits.
*The Boomer Flightsuit always struck me as an upgrade to the usual Jumpsuit, looking sleeker and all, so they get +1 DT and CHA.
*The Boomer Helmet is essentially an aviators' helmet. So it gives +1 END to help protect against the elements more, and an extra +1 DT.
*I didn't really know what to represent the Boomer Cap with as it's essentially just a veteran's cap, so it gets +2 Speech.
*The Boomer Hat on the other hand is an officer's cap, giving it +5 Speech for a commanding presence.
