I would like to be able to upgrade clothing to actually be half decent armor so that I don't have to take away Piper's trenchcoat if I want her to live.

You already can! Do a few quests for the Railroad and Tinker Tom will teach you how to add ballistic weave to certain outfits. Piper's trenchcoat is one of them. At Armorer rank 4 you can add Ballistic Weave Mk.5 that adds like 90 damage and energy resistance. (You can also add this to most underarmors, and still wear armor over them, for maximum defense. It's more than a little overpowered.)

Actually, this is my big wish for a mod, which I've already discussed over in the main Fallout 4 thread: I want to be able to add ballistic weave to any outfit. This would require a mod that added the "lining" upgrade slot to every outfit. At the moment, it seems entirely arbitrary what you can and can't add ballistic weave to. Piper's trenchcoat and MacCready's duster have lining slots, but the Drifter Outfit and Preston's duster don't, even though they have similar base stats. There's even an item in the late game, a certain character's unique coat, that has a lining slot even though it natively has 50 DR. There's no rhyme or reason to it at all.

I'm not sure if it's possible to change what upgrade slots an item has before the creation kit comes out, but if it is, I'd buy a beer or six for anyone who could do it.

I have the ballistic weave on my to-research list incidentally.

I'd also really appreciate it if anyone had a list of armour that doesn't, but should, have a ballistic weave option. Preferably including form/refIDs.

Thanks!

Here are some of the items that seem the most like they could have the lining upgrade slot but don't:
  • BOS Uniform (three versions: 000dedeb, 002223e3, 00134294)
  • Colonial Duster (0001f17b)
  • Drifter Outfit (000b2d8d)
  • Field Scribe's Armor (no base ID on the wiki)
  • Gunner Guard Outfit (00223cfa)
  • Leather Coat (000732b5)
  • Kellogg's Outfit (001153db) This one already has a good amount of DR on it, but so does Maxson's Battlecoat, and that one can take ballistic weave.
  • Synth Uniform (0012b91d)
I'm sure there are more, but those are some of the outfits that stick out the most to me. (Colonial Duster and the Drifter Outfit are the biggest ones for me personally.)

I tried the survival damage mods in the op, and used the suggested 100 player and 200 enemy one and tried it out at the corvega plant but goddamn it was super loving easy and i didnt even get any legendaries show up either, in fact i had more legendaries show up on hard... is there any better settings? im one-two shotting raiders and they seem to be doing regular hard more damage to me as far as i can tell. feels too easy and it's making me feel like i did something wrong.

You could always use the mod that just makes more legendaries show up and then play on Hard or Very Hard. That's what I'm doing. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/218/

Local Leader rank 1 is pretty much mandatory if you want to do anything with your settlements at all. If you don't have 6 Charisma, just console command yourself a rank of that. It should be baseline functionality anyway.

I decided to just wear the Black Vest with Slacks outfit with ballistic weave. It looks decent enough, and when I need more armor than that (since I can't layer stuff on it without a mod + clipping) I just get in power armor.

I really wonder if it was just an oversight on their part that lead to so many items not having the lining slot. If it was as simple as items that already had DR not getting lining, I'd at least understand, but it's not that at all. Even different color suits aren't consistent.
