THE SMITHING PERKS

Weapons Armor Clothing & Clutter Fixes makes the following changes to the Smithing perks.  These changes allow the smithing perks to apply more consistently to all armor and weapon types and will allow all weapons and armor in Skyrim to be improved further by having the relevant smithing perk.

One of the more significant changes is moving a number of items from the Advanced Armors perk on the "Light" side of the perk tree to instead be affected by the more appropriate "Heavy" perks. To accommodate this change, the Orcish Smithing perk has been renamed "Advanced Heavy Smithing" and will now allow you to further improve Steel Plate armor, Honed Draugr weapons, Blades armor and weapons, Nordic armor and weapons, and Chitin Heavy armor.
