Description:

So I basically never played with armor that had low coverage and I was always bummed out that lots of heavy armor had "gaps" in their coverage. I tried to look for a mod that fixes that but couldn’t find any, so I made one myself!

This mod increases coverage for all shirts, pants and body armor that had at least some coverage.
Pants ==> 100% to both legs.
Shirt ==> 100% to chest, stomach and both arms (including hive).
Body armor ==> 100% to chest, stomach and both arms.
I DID NOT touch values like samurai cloth pants 50% stomach coverage and the like.

It was hard to decide what to do with items like chain shirt and chainmail as both now have same coverage but different stats, so I just nerfed chain shirt to match chainmail. Did the same thing for other similar matching items. I am not sure if that was a good thing to do so I am open to feedback on this one.

Compatibility:
I changed coverage values so load my mod after any mod that does the same.
Plus, as I mentioned above, I tweaked some values on items like chain shirt, leather vest and the like to match their long sleeved counterparts.
I DID NOT touch any resistances so it is compatible with No Cut Efficiency.

I came up with this idea about half an ago so I have no idea how balanced (or not) this mod is, but in theory it should make everybody tougher. I made this mod mainly for myself so no complaints please.

Ok, only now I noticed that increasing armor coverage increases the armor weight drastically. So now lots of NPCs are running around heavily overburdened. And there is no real fix for that…
