Smithing Overhaul

If your like me, you've always thought it rediculous that just because your skill level/perks gives you the ability to craft a specific quality of good, i.e. Elven, you also suddenly have the knowledge of how to make everything in that catagory too.
Well this mod serves to remedy this by making 'Plans' for all the armor and weapons, purchasable from a blacksmith, and required to be learn't in the same fasion as spells, before you can make the item.



Welcome to my first published mod!

This is a work in progress so bare with me but all content so far should work without any hickups.

I would also like to add all official DLC weapons and armor too, but i may make these stand alone to prevent conflicts.


The Plans:
* Bought from any Blacksmith (please tell me if i've missed any).
* Higher level plans require a higher player level in order to purchase them. This ensures better use of all armor types instead of rushing for the best and using Daedric at lvl 10.
* Available to buy before like items can drop or be found in chests to provide some advantage to crafting your own.
* Plans can be learn't prior to earning the relevant perk but the recipe cannot be used until the perk has be earn't.
* The blacksmithing tutorial will still work fine, i added the hide helmet plan to the items given during the quest.


Reverse Engineering:
* There are currently only 2 'Deconstruction Benches', the first at the Skyforge in Whiterun and the second near the blacksmiths in Solitude, just outside the fletchers (couldn't find space outside the blacksmiths).
* Weapons and armor can be now be reverse engineered!
* Any armor piece or weapon can be reverse engineered provided you have the relevant smithing perk and you don't already know the recipe. All else will be hidden.
* The armor piece or weapon will be destroyed during the process.


Compatability:
The location of the Deconstruction bench at the skyforge does not interfer with the Complete Skyforge Mod.


If anyone finds any inconsistencies or errors, or just has an idea to improve this mod please let me know so i can do my best to create a mod you can call a 'keeper'.


If you like this mod please rate it!

Look forward to hearing your feedback,

Oz.


Note: I've been too busy with real life and the making of this mod to actually play the game (other than to make sure it works) and see if its balanced with regards to prices, levels obtained at, chance of plans appearing in vendor list, etc etc. Your feed back on this would be greatly appreciated. Those who wish to contribute in this regard will get a special thanks in the description.
