LE Armor Rating % Display

[ArcieAdam]

In a previous game, I used the now unsupported (and unfindable) Armor Tweak mod, What You See is What You Get, that adjusted the AR formula so that what was displayed in your AR was your actual damage reduction percent. In my current playthrough, I'm using the T3nd0s Skyrim Redone mod, and I'm unsure which is the problem, but armor became functionally useless. There was no difference between an AR of 80 and 0, and at level 30, small time bandits could still kill me in a single hit.

 

Uninstalling the Armor Tweak mod fixed this issue, but now I'm stuck looking at a large number that I need to do a relatively simple calculation to figure out how much damage I'm negating, but it's still a pain to work it out in my head when comparing armors, or judging how much damage I'm negating on a whole.

 

So my idea was this: Instead of messing around with the armor rating formula (Though I don't like that you can hit the 80% cap so easily so early), why not create a mod that simple adds a % next to the AR display, that simply makes the calculation for you and displays that? I have no modding experience, but I don't think it could be that difficult judging by the scope of mod projects on the nexus, and I'm sure it would be popular.

 

So I'm looking for a mod that simply adds a % next to your Armor Rating so that two numbers display, the second tells you plainly what your damage reduction % is, but doesn't affect the formula, so that if you're using a mod like SkyRe, or something that alters AR so that the cap is more difficult to reach, you can still use that and see what your real damage reduction is with that mod.
