How to change armor types? (Light armor / heavy armor etc.)

[Zjoffie]

Hello guys,

 

I've played Skyrim for a long while on xbox and recently bought the pc version for modding purposes. I'm playing a pure mage character and downloaded theTemptress Race by Psychos1s and Brokefoot.

This mod also includes an armor set consisting of 3 pieces of cloth and a few pieces of light armor.

 

My question is:

Is it possible for me to change the light armor type to cloth? (And also the armor rating ofc.) I want to be able to use the mage armor perk.

 

Thank you in advance for any help given!

Do you mean in the CK or in game? In the CK its easy as pie, in game, not possible

CK being creation kit im guessing? Just googled that.

 

Is there no .ini file i can just change where the item is located or something or do I HAVE to download the creation kit in order to alter a few items?

Thanks for your reply.

Your options: Either change the armor in CK or you change the armor using a SkyProc patcher (like ReProccer) to specifically change the amor type of THAT armor you wanna use to Cloth using a custom made (by you) XML file and run the patcher after it.

What prod80 said.

 

Bite the bullet and download CK. it's really the bare minimum for modding.

 

Honestly you'll be glad you did after a few weeks of tearing your hair out :)
