About this mod
You know that cool outfit Cicero wears? This turns it and its generic copy into viable light armor. Standalone version also available.

What Do?
This quick, little mod takes both versions of the Jester Outfit Cicero wears and turns it into really good light armor. The generic version you can get without killing him is also craftable(under Ebony) and no longer enchanted. Stats are based on the Ancient Shrouded set(which you can easily get before finding them) and you can wear circlets with them.
Alternately, you can can grab the standalone, which takes all the changes I made to the generic Jester's Outfit and recreates them as a separate set that doesn't touch the vanilla outfits at all. Most texture/mesh replacers will still apply to it since it still points at the same places for those. Any replacer that for whatever reason changes where the Jester's Outfit or Cicero's Outfit looks to find its meshes/textures will not show up on the standalone outfit, though.
Crafting Info:
A: You can find the Jester's Clothes under Ebony and craft them using leather, leather strips, ebony, and linen wraps. The recipes are the same as for leather armor with one additional ebony ingot and linen wrap each for everything except the torso, which takes two of each.
B: Temper them at the workbench as usual using leather. To get the doubled improvement bonus, you need the Ebony Smithing perk.
C: You need to finish "The Cure for Madness" before you can craft the Jester's Clothes. This is the quest where you actually find the original -- you can craft multiple sets to enchant but my mod does not let you get the outfit before you're supposed to.
Things this mod does NOT do:
1: Add any new items.
2: Change any models or textures in any way. If you have a replacer, it will still work perfectly fine unless your replacer makes the two sets look different from each other. In that case, I would probably need to make a patch.
Special Ed?
Yes. Also Workshop.
Other Recommended Mods:
Amazing Follower Tweaks or some other thing that makes it easier to manage your followers' outfits. You'll need one to get Cicero out of his clothes so you can improve them.
Not Compatible With:
The base version is incompatible with any other mod that changes the stats of these two outfits. They definitely exist but I made this in the first place because none of the ones I could find seemed like they did all the things -- that is: they all looked like they were incomplete in one way or another. Now that I've actually fixed my own mod, it does do all the things.
The standalone should work with just about everything.
Merges, Bash Patches, Load Order, That Sort of Thing:
Since this mod doesn't touch any leveled lists, you don't need to rebuild your bashed patch or anything. You can even add it to the patch and disable my .esp if you'd like -- enchantments carry over because they're weird and everything else is simple enough that Wrye Bash can duplicate it no problem.
For Load Order, this can basically go anywhere. Not many things touch these outfits so any mod that conflicts with this one is probably a mod that you shouldn't be using with it at all. There is one exception: Utter Uniques Upgrade might be semi-compatible depending on how it works. If it only touches the enchantments specifically, Cicero's Outfit(and only it) should have both. Otherwise? Put my mod below that in your load order if you prefer the armor or above it/disabled/just get rid of it if you prefer the enchantments.
Uninstalling:
Hey, so you know how some(crazy) people recommend completely restarting your game every time you so much as touch any mod? That does not apply here. The only issues you might have from uninstalling would be with the actual clothes so to be cautious about that:
A: Make sure you're not actually wearing any of this stuff just in case. Cicero might have some extra armor rating if you don't bother stripping him but is otherwise fine. Save your game.
B: remove mod.
C: use the console to cheat in a fresh set of the clothes just in case -- might not be needed. Not really sure.
