About this mod
Adapts the fantastic cloak mod "Cloaks of Skyrim" so that it uses SkyPatcher and optionally SPID for seamless, conflict-free integration.

RMB SkyPatched - adapts "Cloaks of Skyrim" to use SkyPatcher, hooking into my RMB SPIDifed - Core Framework for maximum compatibility in NPC distribution.
It doesn't require SPID itself, but does require my framework due to the shared ESP/resources, which allows for indirect integration into SPID patches built on it.
• Stripped files of edits to Leveled Lists, Outfits and NPCs
• Various SkyPatcher configs with tweaks and fixes - more information under the tweaking section
• Compacted FormIDs and Flagged Cloaks and Cloaks - Dawnguard.esp as ESL files, to avoid using LO spots
• Combined all three plugins into one, with a custom name to prevent old patches from being used
• Migrated all relevant changes to SkyPatcher operations
• USSEP Patch is no longer needed - a dummy file "Cloaks - USSEP Patch.esp" is included
• Fully compatible with HDT-SMP (just don't use their provided ESP files), retextures and remeshes
• Injects Cloaks into a Leveled List Framework, which itself is injected into various outfits, Leveled Lists and even distributed via SPID
• Install Cloaks of Skyrim
• Remove or hide the Cloaks.esp, Cloaks - Dawnguard.esp, and Cloaks - USSEP.esp
• Install SkyPatcher, RMB SPID - Core, and (recommended) Spell Perk Item Distributor. See requirements for links and details
• Install HDT-SMP or similar if desired. Remove or hide Cloaks_SMP_Patch.esp
• Install cloak texture replacers
• Install RMB SPCH - Cloaks of Skyrim
Tweaks
Location: SKSE\Plugins\SkyPatcher\armor\Cloaks - CoS\Tweaks.ini
All of these tweaks are enabled by default, but can be removed by removing the respective line or commenting it out with a semi-colon.
• Add pickup and putdown sounds to all Cloaks
• Remove hiding of tails for Cloaks
• Disallow cloaks from being enchanted
• Add survivalCold keywords
• Remove armor coverage for better C.O.C.K.S support
• Sets the weight for all of the cloaks
Weaker Enchants
Location: SKSE\Plugins\SkyPatcher\armor\Cloaks - CoS\WeakerEnchants.ini
This file controls the enchantments used by the generic cloaks - by default weaker versions of the enchantments are distributed. Delete this file or comment out the lines to restore the previous enchantments.
Names
Location: SKSE\Plugins\SkyPatcher\armor\Cloaks - CoS\Names.ini
This config gives you the ability to adjust the names of the various cloaks.
RMB SPIDified - Core v5.0.0 and onward now features an esp "RMB SPID - Core.esp" that sponsors a large array of LeveledLists. Cloaks are added directly to these LeveledLists, which can be referenced in SPID outfits via plugin dependency or distributed via SkyPatcher. Furthermore these LeveledLists can also be distributed via SPID itself without worrying about duplicate cloaks.
• _cos.refs is included in the package, containing references to LLIs used
• SKSE\Plugins\SkyPatcher\leveledList\Cloaks - CoS contains Cloaks.esp.ini, which distributes cloaks to the RMB SPID - Core LLIs
• SKSE\Plugins\SkyPatcher\npc\Cloaks - CoS contains Cloaks.esp.ini which distributes unique cloaks to Dragon Priests, for example
How does it work?
• RMB SPID - Core provides a number of Inner Sublists, Flat Lists, and Outer Lists
• Capes and Cloaks are added to Inner Sublists and Flat Lists
• Inner Sublists feed into Outer Lists
• Flat & Outer Lists can then be added to other Leveled Lists, Outfits, and NPCs via SkyPatcher -- or be distributed with SPID
• These outer lists will only distribute a single item
• SkyPatcher can add to these Inner and Flat Lists without manual or bashed patching needed
