OVERVIEW
Mix & Match overhauls all relevant armour perks to scale depending on how many armour pieces you are wearing. The goal of this mod is to allow the player more freedom to mix and match different armour types while still taking advantage of all the perks you worked so hard to unlock.
FEATURES
See the full list of changes in the changelog or readme.
Mix & Match achieves this by adding three tiers to each perk that gives set bonuses. For example, the Well Fitted perk will give you a 10% armour bonus if you're wearing two pieces, a 20% bonus for three pieces. But only a full set of four pieces will give you a maximum of 25% armour bonus. All the other set bonuses work the same way. This means you could wear only three pieces of an armour type and still get a whopping 20% armour bonus as well as a portion of any other perk that requires a set bonus. Alternatively, you could wear two pieces of each armour type to get a 10% armour bonus from perks in both the Light and Heavy Armour skill tree and take advantage of both skills, although not as powerful. All the perks still stack the same way as in vanilla, meaning you can get an additional armour bonus from the Matching Set perks as long as you wear two matching pieces or more.
"It just works!"

PERKS CHANGED
Mix & Match also change the perks to work with four or more pieces to allow compatibility for armour mods that have extra pieces.*
*Potentially overpowered if combining more than four pieces of light and heavy armour at the same time allowing full use of both skill trees, depends on the mod in question.
