Well, I searched web for some easy way to change the gloss of armors and clothing and the only batch edits that came up included creating a new folder and copying all meshes in there. I think such an approach is quite tedious to set up even with MO (even though easier to maintain afterwards), and so I've written this script that changes gloss for all armors/clothes inside particular mod via xEdit (SSEdit).
Script was inpired by a similar script from zilav (reddit)
1. Either apply the script on the whole mod or select ARMA/NPC_ records you want to change (Do not confuse ARMA with ARMO, ARMA is usually the higher one).
2. Run the script (Skyrim - Update Glossiness), select what you want to edit and go make yourself a coffee; it might take a while if you edit a lot of armors.
Thanks to gulyo, there is a version that updates all armors in a specified directory (bodyslide as default).It's made with minimal use in mind, so no fancy GUI there, but it will get the job done!
2.) that's it.
(if you want to be glossy when naked, do that by hand please, it would be too much work for little reward to include in this script - might consider it if there is enough interest in it).
Version 3.0 Update: Script is now able to change even your body, heads or NPC heads!

------------------- How to Use -------------------
0. When choosing what script to load in xedit (SSEdit) , you have to also load the ones that have BSAs connected to them if you want to use assets from those BSAs!1. Either apply the script on the whole mod or select ARMA/NPC_ records you want to change (Do not confuse ARMA with ARMO, ARMA is usually the higher one).

------------------- Installation -------------------
1.) download and extract archive from Files tab to "Edit Scripts" folder in your xEdit (SSEdit) installation.2.) that's it.
------------------- How it Works -------------------
Script opens all .nifs (_1 and _0 versions) in selected ARMA records and tries to edit them. Depending on your drive, this can take quite long (It took me approx. 1sec per ARMA record on SSD). Even though it takes a while, it still beats hand editing your whole load orders. Important note is that it changes .nifs for particular mods loaded in xEdit, therefore it is up to you what armors you want to be glossy! Version 3.0 Update: Script is now able to change even your body, heads or NPC heads!
------------------- It's not working! -------------------
Please tell me what is wrong in comments or in bug reporting tab and I'll see what I can do. My xEdit scripting is quite limited, but I try my best to get things working.
