SSE Maybe Figured Out How to Fix Armor Scaling Without SKSE. Plz help

[boblikesoup]

Sorry if this is redundant, but I can't find any Skyrim SE mods that fix armor scaling. I'm not a modder, but I know without SKSE you can't change the core armor rating equation. I'm so pissed off at Bethesda for such a retarded system.

 

Problem:

At low levels armor is basically useless, at high levels armor is exponentially more powerful.

 

 

Proposed Fix:

At the end of load order, have this mod that multiplies armor values based on the armor section.

For example:

Helmet #1 armor w/out mod: 10

Helmet #1 armor w/ mod: 20

Helmet #2 armor w/out mod: 25

Helmet #2 armor w/ mod: 35

 

Chest #1 armor w/out mod: 25

Chest #1 armor w/ mod: 50

Chest #2 armor w/out mod: 60

Chest #2 armor w/ mod: 84

 

It's essentially a diminishing returns multiplier for armor based on the body segment. Algorithms will follow the lead from this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/85358/?

The drawback I see is it will be easier to hit max armor cap with worse gear, in which case you could then just uninstall this mod after the first half of the game. I've never personally even reached max armor before so it wouldn't even be an issue for me.

 

If someone can tell me if this is possible, I will figure out all of the equations needed to balance each armor segment.

Alternatively, please someone let me know if something like this be possible https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73976/?

Thanks.
