I have a technical question about how races work in Fallout 4. The first race mod I saw for Fallout 4 was 'Vulpine Race' and on the front end it was very simple: load requirements, load mod, start new game, and then go play. But then I tried the Ikaros mod and that mod was very particular, needing a certain version of looksmenu and needing to navigate it in the proper order to customize the face. Most of these can be chalked up to the fact that Ikaros is built to have race shifting after starting the game, but the thing that I couldn't figure out was why Ikaros requires a patch for armor and clothing to work. Even vanilla armor require a patch to work. With that said, other race mods seem to work without a compatibility patch. does anyone know why? I am interested in the mechanics of it. I would ask Trophihunter's discord directly, but I since his discord requires phone verification to chat and discord doesn't like my phone provider, I can't do that.
