Want to wear clothes but want to have armor values. Help?

[DucksAreReal]

I want to wear the very many different clothings available in nexus but at the same time I want to have normal armor values as I progress through the game.

 

Is there a mod that will let me have this? Like an invisible accessory that I can equip or something along the line?

 

Many thanks for any help, I love you.

I think you'd have to make something like that yourself. You could look at Extensible Follower Framework which applies the appearances of certain armor types (regardless of what the player equips) while letting the player gain the bonuses of whatever they equip.

 

An easier way, though would be to modify the different clothings you like to have an armor value, it's fairly easy to do in the creation kit, or even a text-only editor like tes5edit, or TESVSnip. Just change armor value to whatever you want, and the armor type to light or heavy (whichever you prefer) as clothing types have 0 armor no matter what the value is set to. I also think the clothing type is what makes an item qualify as "mage robes" for the purposes of the various perks.

I'm doing the second thing you said right now with the Creation Kit. If that's the only easy way to do it I guess I can live with that.

 

Thanks for the reply, you're very sexy.
