This mod adds some Power Armors to certain named individuals in the commonwealth.
The goal is to implement top notch clothing & armor mods in an immersive way.

This includes the following changes:
Slag, the leader of the Forged, wears the Red Shift Power Armor.
Sparta, a raider leader, wears the T-65 Power Armor.
The Gunners are in possession of a single Hellcat Power Armor. 
Some lore is included in the terminals at the specific locations about why the PA would be there.

More Power Armors might be added in the future.

The set is NOT craftable and only obtainable from whomever wears it or whichever vendor or location may hold it.
Once obtained, they can be modified like usual.

The description has been made as simply as possible.
If you want to know all the tiny details about what is changed, check the Articles.

Download with any mod manager.
Red Shift Power Armor is required.
Hellcat Power Armor is required.
T-65 Power Armor is required.

The Hellcat Power Armor mod comes in esl format. It's trash for sorting.
There is an optional file on this mod page that you can use to replace the included esl of that mod to an esp.
This mod will not load without doing this.

The T-65 Power Armor mod has both esp & esl files on the file page.
Make sure you grab the esp version of the mod. 2k or 4k does not matter.
The mod will not load with the esl version.

The goal
The goal is to implement other mods into the game in an immersive way.
In my eyes, that means you find the armor somewhere in the world. Be that an NPC, a vendor or a location.
Most clothing mods are easily obtained & most of the time overpowered in stats, unbalancing the entire game.
Therefore I gate them behind something, and balance them to fit seamlessly into the vanilla game.

Balance Patches
Most gameplay overhaul mods will be compatible without needing a patch.
I support 3 gameplay overhauls. These are Unbogus, Lunar & Better Locational Damage.
Horizon is no longer among supported overhauls. It does it's own thing regarding clothing and it's complicated and time consuming to patch.
For now the Horizon 1.8 patch can be found under optional files. Upon the release of Horizon 1.9, this patch will be retired.
I will also check popular mods that do something similar or might conflict. If it needs a patch, It's possible I make one for it.
And if I personally use a mod that conflicts, a patch will also be available for those.

Horizon patch
It fixes the pieces, the linings & constructibles which are all changed in horizon. It pretty much makes the 3 PA's work properly with horizon's PA system. 
The reason for mentioning this is that the patch works without the main file of this mod. So if you use horizon & these 3 PA's, you can use this patch to make them work without having to install the rest of what this mod does.

Patch conflict
The individual patches work with that mod specifically. It is possible that 2 patches conflict with each other.
I'm not interested in making patches within patches. I'll just end up with infinite combo's and it clutters everything.

Weird issues with <insert mod here>
Do not use any other patches for this mod or the required clothing mods. It will cause issues.

Naked or vanilla outfit
The NPC was already spawned on the save you are using.
Go as close as possible to the NPC, open console, click on the NPC until a code appears, type "resurrect", enter.
After closing the console, you will see the NPC disappear for a second and spawn in the correct outfit.
If this does not correct it, something else is overwriting this mod. Probably another mod, let this mod win the conflicts in that case.

Texture glitches
Purple, you are missing textures.
No body, you are missing meshes.
Weird shine, you are missing materials.
Clipping, you are using a body mod.
