1 the armor is to damaged thus the need to repair. a overhaul of how damaged armor is handled. the way it is now. armor can be worn even at 1 percent condition. im looking for a mod that makes armor unwearable if falling below a certain value unless repaired back to a wearable value.
2 the wrong size, either to small or big to fit in.
3 lesser versions of random equipment
the next mod is a overhaul of how you restore damaged armor.
1 needing to be in a certain area to work on armor maybe some other item besides hammers. basically any mod that makes repairing armor more immersive.
You may want to check out http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28924. I still do not know what that mod is all about, but it seems to be high on the "immersion" list for some reason, haha.
