SSEEDIT (probably TESEDIT compatible) script to convert armor to cloth and update keywords, price, weight, armor values.

[poporaltemporal]

I was way tired to fact that there was no good and fast way to convert mixed armors to cloth. My characters are always mage and roleplay and immersion sense I do not enjoy the mod that list lingerie or gowns as heavy armor. So I studied little bit of sseedit scripts as I had ran them to before.

I ended up creating small script that does several useful things:
1) It removes all old armor / item related keywords from ARMO and MISC signatures.
2) It detects armor type with slot type.

3) It sets keywords ArmorCloth, ArmorJewelry and so on. These keywords are selected with the slot number type. Keywords include vanila vendor keywords for jewelry, cloth and armor
4) It reduces armor to 0

5) It tries to set somehow sensible item gold values for item pieces and jewelry.

6) It reduces weight of these items to low weight something you would expect for jewelry or cloth.
7) Only processes ARMO and MISC signatures. Doesn't touch anything else.

Script should be easy to modify. I have been thinking that you could add BAKA keywords or SOS keywords easily with this. No curious thing is that there is no keyword for earrings probably due to enchanting. I thought I might extend this script to add universal keyword for earrings perhaps highheels?

For those new to SSEEDIT scripts here is short instructions how to use.

This is my small thanks and contribution for all the awesome mod creators all over internet. There are too many to list here. ?

 

((I was actually amazed on how well and easy sseedit is to extend to process this data. If you have development ideas or needs for simple scripts that don't exists I might consider making them for you.))

That's handy. I've seen so many clothing mods out there that decide that the clothes are actually really valuable heavy armor. Being able to nerf them in bulk saves so much time.

This little script got me inspired and I will create soon more script that handle SOS and SLA etc keywords. Just takes time as even SSEEdit scripts are very handy the API seems to support only C subset of delphi and is minor mess. Takes bit practise to find out things.

My plan is to create mod that expands keywords adds earrings and other piercings. Armor mods slot nose piercings and earrings to different biped slots and its also big mess. Probably end up making patch to SOS / other mods as lower body slot seems to be blocked. I think its due SOS. Yet it does not make any sense that if you wear lower body undergarment that your dick blocks it from being worn.

Anyhow takes probably around a week to do all of it because the things I am encountering.
