Weapons & Armor Fixes - Optional Files
OPTIONAL FILES
Weapons and Armor Fixes Remade includes several options that have been made available as separate, stand-alone files. There is also a single, all-inclusive version available that contains all of the options in a single file.
TRUE ORCISH WEAPONS
This option changes the quality progression of all Dwarven, Elven, and Orcish weapons in the vanilla game.
The vanilla stats and progression for these weapons are inconsistent with both the armor scaling and the arrangement of the perk tree. This creates several balance and gameplay issues. By the time you get the Orcish perk there's little reason to ever craft Orcish weapons, since Dwarven weapons are superior and you get the Dwarven perk sooner. Orcish weapons require more pe... -
Weapons & Armor Fixes - List of Changes
BUG FIXES AND OTHER CHANGES
The following is a small sample of the changes made by Weapons and Armor Fixes Remade. I've tried to list the more significant changes, as well as providing an overview of the different types of changes made by this mod.
BUG FIXES
Bash and Block data still needed to be fixed for many items. For example, Heavy shields with Light shield data. Likewise there were a lot of instances where the Equip/Unequip sounds, Critical Damage, Stagger, Reach, and other stats were incorrect for a particular weapon.
Ancient Nord armor is no longer tied to the daedric perk. The Matching Set perk and the Fists of Steel perk will now also apply properly to this armor.
The 1.9 patch corrects many of the armor sets missing from the... -
Weapons and Armor Fixes - Integrated Compatibility Guide
INTEGRATED COMPATIBILITY GUIDE
This guide is written for modders who wish to incorporate compatibility with Weapons & Armor Fixes into their mods.

1. Load WAF & your Mod into TES5Edit
2. Go to the keyword category. Select all the keywords in WAF that have the WAF_ prefix. I would suggest also selecting all of the SPIKE keywords, as this will maintain compatibility with Guard Dialogue Overhaul.

Weapons & Armor Fixes - Crafting Categories
CRAFTING CATEGORIES
Weapons and Armor Fixes Remade makes several changes to the crafting categories to help organize and declutter the crafting menus. Some of the items listed below cannot be crafted in the vanilla game. This mod does not add new recipes, so other mods that do add recipes may potentially relocate the armors into other categories.
FACTION: The "Imperial" category in the crafting menu is now named "Faction" and all faction armors & weapons will appear here (assuming they have crafting recipes and appropriate keywords). Faction gear now included in this category are: Imperial, Stormcloak, city guards, Forsworn, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Wolf Armor, Blades, and Nightingale.
HIDE: Studded Armor has bee...
