wanna have a mod that allows me to improve all weapons and armors to an equal level, as in if I like the way leather armor looks, and I am a master smith(and Dragonborn), let me improve it so that it would be just as effective as any other armor of the same class.
I'd prefer no changes to perk tree, seeing as I have a mod that alters it in a great way if you ask me, named "treebalance -smithing tree"
it could perhaps simply check for the highest availble value for the class of item you improve and set the stats there, or it could be a late-game thing, where when you have the dragonsmithing perk it'll allow an improvement to just above the max stats of all in the game. it would open up for any weapon/armor to be viable in end-game, and not just for show
