DESCRIPTION

Hello, and welcome to this mod.

This is a standalone version of the Black Mechanic Jumpsuit, created by Ryu and uploaded by marjin.

The clothing item in this mod is based on the Red Rocket Jumpsuit, with a few minor additions. It has the Legendary and Misc armour lining APPR slots, as well as some keywords to provide for upgrading options at the armour workbench. If you want to make this legendary, you will have to use console commands. You can aquire this jumpsuit through console commands, or by crafting it at the chemlab under Utility.

In my personal game, this outfit is added to various levelled lists so that it can be found throughout the Commonwealth and even as a legendary item. Such distribution is beyond the scope of this mod.

For images and further information, please see the original mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6322

As always, if you are already satisfied with the original mod this one is based on you don't have to download this mod.

This mod release is a beta test. While feedback may be helpful, be aware that not every suggestion may be taken into account. Furthermore, if you would be more satisfied with the mod going in a different direction than the one I have chosen, please note that permission is given for further modification (see below for full details).

This was my first attempt at creating an esl, so please inform me if it doesn't behave like an esl should.

CONFLICTS/ISSUES

This mod was used alongside over 100 other mods, all either downloaded from NexusMods or of my own private creation (including custom patches).

Known Issues: Some clipping on the left sleeve, though that might be because the Armour Addon doesn't have the Pipboy slot ticked - or because the character I playtested this outfit with was using a custom replacer Pipboy, or because I use the CBBE Curvy body. No such clipping is observed in first person view.

As this is a material swap, it will work with practically any body shape.

Skimpiness Factor: Only if you have a mesh replacer that affects the Red Rocket Jumpsuit mesh.

Playtest Report: The records for this mod were copied from a personal compilation of vaultsuit and jumpsuit retextures, into this mod's esl. The outfit was initially tested using that mod.

My load order includes a fairly recent version of CBBE, and the Unofficial Patch, but not AWKCR or AE. No mod manager is installed or used, and in all cases manual installation is recommended and assumed. While I do have Edit it is not up to date, and I use it primarily to manage custom patches at the end of my load order. Although I play with over 100 mods installed, compatibility with any given mod or load order cannot be guaranteed or assumed.

My current roster of playtest characters are mostly retired, having completed the main questline and most of the DLC questlines at level 80 or above (average 200 hours play). Your gaming experience may differ if your characters are of notably lower or much higher level, or have not advanced particularly far in the game's storyline.

I am reasonably certain that any problems I encounter are usually due to other mods that have issues of their own, pre-existing known bugs in the game, or the general issues that may arise from having over 100 mods installed.

Disclaimer: I do not play on survival mode, as the imposed restrictions make it impossible to fix issues I repeatedly encounter in the base game. Therefore any issues encountered using this mod in that mode cannot be addressed.

IN CLOSING

This mod was playtested with the Game Of The Year edition of Fallout 4. All six DLCs are installed, although they are not required for use of this mod. The only utility installed and used is Simple Plugin Manager.

Screenshots are not currently a priority, and in some cases might not accurately reflect the nature or usage of a mod. Where screenshots are provided, note that they reflect the settings and load order particular to personal use.

This ReadMe is a balance of clarity and brevity, and is is assumed that the end user of this mod has read the ReadMe and understands that any issues that may arise during modded play are beyond the mod author's control.

These mods are my way of sharing some of the fun I have playing Fallout 4. If you like my mods, please give a thumbs up so others can know they are appreciated; and, feel free to recommend them to others. Thank you for reading, and enjoy your gaming.
