Probably noob question about armor crafting

[the_mess]

Guys, I started playing F4 for real just recently because I coudn't do it until now due to job/life/etc. So I downloaded tons of mods of course. But I noticed that not every armor/clothing item is visible for crafting in the armor workbench. Why is that? Do I have to lvl up my armor craftsmanship to unlock the mod armors? Or its simply that not all armor mods are available for crafting but only from loot/pick up/console?

Some armors are crafted in the Chemistry Workbench, some in the Cooking Workbench... Furthermore if you download AWCKR and the ARMORSMITH mod some armors are also in that workbench. All depends on the armors you download. I have not yet seen armors ONLY implemented in leveled lists; other than some from fx RaiderOverhaul.

 

EDIT: Furthermore, if you use Nexus Mod Manager to download and install mods, remember to give administrative rights to the Nexus Mod Manager .exe-file. Otherwise the mods will not install properly

I've read about those AWCKR and AE exclusive benches but I can't find them. Do I have to build them? Sorry I can't check for myself right now because I am at work. But yesterday when I was "building" my game I didn't saw such benches at the sanctuary or the red rocket for example.

Yes, you have to build them. You'll find them under the "Crafting" category in the WS.

Also there are a few mods with items only attainable through console or specific vendors or at a specific location.

Normally the first thing I edit in the esp, change it so they are craftable or gettable from other places, though the fallout 4 ck, does my head for the crafting side.  So many keywords/forms/constructable objects, with no clear description of what the hell the do or why you need them, ck wiki is not much use either for getting help.

Yeah I am aware of that since F3. I just thought that ALL custom items in F4 are craftable by default, even if they are distributed to specific vendor or location.
