=============
=Mod Premise=
=============
Cloak is a hood mechanics mod that changes the gameplay elements of how hoods function in Skyrim.

DO NOT CLEAN THIS MOD WITH SSEEDIT. THIS MOD HAS
ALREADY BEEN CLEANED AND ANY CHANGES ARE INTENTIONAL
AND NECESSARY FOR THE MOD TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

=============
=Description=
=============
The main component of Cloak is the implementation of Hood Mechanics.

The primary objective of this mod is to add an immersive element of gameplay to Skyrim. It never made sense to me that hoods were it's own piece of equipment which can be mixed and matched with any armor set. Naturally hoods are attached to something, like a jacket. Therefore this mod works to make hoods "attached" to one's Cuirass; should you wear appropriate gear, using the Cloak power will allow you to put on or take off your hood.

Some hoods can even obscure your identity so you can commit crimes without being discovered...

Cloak Version 1.00

- Initial Release.

====================
=Install, Uninstall=
====================

TO INSTALL THE MOD
1- Download Cloak
2- Put the ESP and BSA into the proper Skyrim SSE Directory
3- Launch Skyrim SSE
4- Activate Cloak

INSTALL NOTICE
I DO NOT recommend that you extract the contents of the BSA file into your Data folder as loose files, or let your mod manager perform an equivalent function on the contents of the file. Doing so can cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is intended to load a BSA alongside it's ESM/ESP file; circumventing this process causes issues.

UNINSTALL NOTICE
Skyrim doesn't natively support mod uninstallation and because this mod implements and overhauls both features from the base game and new features entirely, I DO NOT recommend uninstalling this mod mid playthrough as it most probably will break elements in your save file.

=FAQ=
=====

Q: How do I equip hoods?
A: With the Cloak power.

Q: How do I keep my identity private by wearing a hood?
A: For your identity to be kept a secret for future crimes you cannot use the Cloak power while trespassing or while currently engaging in combat. Also, only Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, and Nightingale hoods obscure your identity.

Q: Will you expand upon this mod in the future?
A: I don't know, this is a mod that I've completed a while ago and never really released. If there are any bugs I will fix them but other than that I do not see myself expanding too much upon this project. It's pretty much complete.
