operatics Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi All, It seems very strange to me that there is no tailoring mechanic built into Skyrim. We can create all sorts of awesome armors, and there's even a perk tree dedicated to doing so. Why can't we craft clothing and robes? My idea is to have tailoring added to the game, included in the Smithing tree. To make it more compatible with mods that alter the perk trees, I don't think there should be individual tailoring perks added, but rather that certain "patterns" would be unlocked according to the various perk tiers, i.e. Dwarven, Ebony, Daedric, etc. This is also very interesting because custom clothes could be made with those themes in mind. What would the ancient Dwemer clothing look like? It leaves a lot of room for creativity in making interesting new clothing designs. Higher tier clothing could even have unique bonuses for thief or mage characters, or speech craft bonuses for all characters, too. Imagine actually wanting to change into nice clothes upon arriving into town, solely for the Speech bonuses when you go to sell your wares. It adds a lot of immersion and it could actually be a helpful mechanic. Other things could be made, too, like bandages (a la WoW). I hope something like this gets developed one day! It would add a nice crafting element to non Light/Heavy armor builds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareElmo Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 tailoring mod already exists. Brodual did a youtube video on it. Looks pretty decent. Although i dont think i integrates levels, just lets you use a loom to make clothes (from memory)sorry to burst your bubble! Try contacting the mod author with ideas for expansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's problematic for anyone who uses an overhaul that affects the perk trees (which I believe is basically everyone now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
