Changelogs
Version 1.8
Rebalanced Lustmord Vampire Armor -Lustmord armor is now weaker than Light Stahlrim, but, if you equip the accessories, they give you a bonus that puts you right up there with it. -The spell to summon the forge that lets you craft the armor has been given a cost consistent with expert summon spells in Mysticism. To obtain the armor now, you must either be a skilled Conjurer, have enough magicka to brute-force the cast, or have the enchanting or alchemy ability to lower the cost. No easy ebony-tier armor at level 1. -Incorporated Tortle2Tortle2Turtle's Lustmord Immersive Start, now, the quest to obtain the armor will not start on new game. Instead, you must get the quest by speaking with Keerava and the Bee and Barb in Riften.
Version 1.7
Added optional versions of Twilight Princess and Wayfarer's Coat designed to be consistent with the smithing tree of Adamant-A Perk Overhaul by SimonMagus. These versions require the Journeyman's Armor perk to craft. Alternatively, these mods can be used without Adamant in order to require the Steel Smithing perk to craft, if you feel they need a further restriction.

So, you see a great-looking armor mod on Nexus. You think, "man, I want that in my game, NOW." However, after downloading your new armor, your level 1 character now has an endgame-worthy set from the moment they leave Helgen!
Luckily, S.A.S.S. is here to save the balance of your game!
This page contains plugins which attempt to accomplish one main goal: rebalancing the armor ratings around vanilla, based on the difficulty in obtaining the materials used for creating them. So, for instance, if a new armor is made with leather and leather strips, it will have a leather rating, not Daedric.
In addition, in some cases, I will also introduce other small tweaks. This will occur when
1. Maintaining the "vision" of the mod. If the armor is intended to be used as high-tier armor, then it will remain so. However, the requirements for obtaining the armor will be increased. Ebony-level armor created at a magic forge, for example, will require that the spell used to craft the gear be much more expensive than a normal novice-level spell.
and
2. Introducing other balancing methods into the mod. For example, locking the armor away behind quest requirements, level requirements, or perk requirements. These changes will be clearly noted.
