Fair enough, I haven't considered the fact there are different torso cosmetics with different bust sizes.

They'll work with AC chests if running the mod that removes the `Set=` setting from the AC armours, this along with Appearance Manager (or UCR) will allow the other customisation slots. As for the wording, it's the first complaint i've had in the 3 years the mod has been up, but i can see how it could be deemed offensive, and changing it will allow me to answer the other common question - why they are only like that - the answer, honestly, is shaping them round the varying bust sizes is almost impossible, I'd literally have to make about 4-5 versions to account for sizes, and they'd still likely to clip all to hell. Honestly, I just don't have the time, motivation or talent to spend hours on something so relatively minor.

> Ballistic Vests for both genders also work well with Bare Torsos like those in the Anarchy's Children DLC.

I wasn't able to get this to work, because there's no Torso Gear option with AC torso, I think the user must have Unrestricted Customization for this to work.

> Female vests are fitted to their abdomen, stopping just below their chests, to allow users to still show off their female characters' 'assets' if they so wish.

Wish this was an option rather than standard. Also I find the wording disgusting, but maybe I'm just too woke.

Ah, fair enough.

@Eleanoire possibly, but doubtful to be honest. Like I said shaping them round the varying bust sizes is almost impossible, I'd literally have to make about 4-5 versions to account for sizes.

Can you make both versions for female characters if possible one day?
MrCloista  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 6:32am 
Funnily enough I had explained the same thing to Nert in one of the older comments.
MrCloista  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 6:31am 
@zin they don't? I didn't make the torsos these have been cut to fit, I only cut the ballistic plate vests themselves. I cut the female ones below the bust for simplicity and compatibility, it is almost impossible to shape them round the bust on a civilian style cosmetic as especially the ones Kexx makes come in varying sizes, so it would clip all to hell.

Why do the female ones always have to be sexualized?

@liamsaranich it's the covert ops uniforms which is listed in the description

great mod what mod is the resistance jacket in?
Nert 27 Feb, 2022 @ 12:50am 
Ah, makes sense
MrCloista  [author] 26 Feb, 2022 @ 8:44pm 
Because rigging them was almost impossible.
Nert 26 Feb, 2022 @ 7:57pm 
Why not have a female vest variant that covers the chest? It just feels odd to me, great mod otherwise.

I see, thank you. Also Happy New Year!
MrCloista  [author] 2 Jan, 2021 @ 8:25am 
covert ops armor i think? you'll have to check
tastiger841 30 Dec, 2020 @ 8:42pm 
I am not aware of other mods, do you know the names? Cheers
MrCloista  [author] 30 Dec, 2020 @ 3:04am 
Oh right, that's definitely possible. Infact I'm fairly sure others have already done it.
tastiger841 29 Dec, 2020 @ 8:29pm 
Thank you for your reply.

Sorry that I wasn't clear regarding my question: I wasn't referring to this mod, but a new mod which is able to implement what I stated.
MrCloista  [author] 29 Dec, 2020 @ 1:23am 
@tastiger841 There are no items/stats associated with these, they are purely a cosmetic option selected like regular Torso Gear like you see with the faction heroes, but for everybody.
tastiger841 28 Dec, 2020 @ 11:24pm 
Is it possible to create a tier 0 template similar to NightNinja54's ADVENT Armors?

Since there so many causal outfits, I think to give them no armor with no extra health, yet with low detection zone and high mobility and dodge.

Nice to see it on the workshop :) Congrats on the release dude !
N.C.V. 28 Dec, 2020 @ 4:04pm 
I'd throw my support for a TLP variant too.
MrCloista  [author] 28 Dec, 2020 @ 1:37pm 
I hadn't planned to, due to the sizing of the TLP stuff, but if there's a demand for it, I'd consider trying to come up with something. These alone took me about 15 or so hours of modding to get right though, so I'd not expect anything 'soon'.
Valvatorez(Cox Cable = awful ISP 28 Dec, 2020 @ 1:32pm 
@MrCloista Will there be TLP variants? Because the default style plate clashes badly with soldiers who have legs from Modular Legacy Armors.
Nighty-O's 28 Dec, 2020 @ 12:35pm 
Wow, I was JUST talking about how it was kinda lame how none of the armor pieces fit very neatly underneath the jacket!
Wet Dog Squad 28 Dec, 2020 @ 11:13am 
Thank you for this! I've been wanting an armored chestpiece to go with the Clothing Pack items and this is perfect!
