It's not unusual for power armor to be adorned with a variety of pouches, bags, and cargo pods. While the size and lack of articulation in the power armor's own hands often prevents them from accessing this stowage in combat, the ability to carry extra equipment is appreciated by un-armored companions, those executing salvage operations, and for long patrols where the operator may be required to sustain their own operations for an extended period of time. 

This mod is only a hack job of Antistar's PEACE mod, a large overhaul which, among other things, added some really neat, lore-friendly-looking load bearing equipment to the vanilla power armors (and DLC armors).

Starting from around level 18, you'll start seeing stowage spawn on power armor. Yes, this includes NPCs like raiders and Brotherhood. 

The PEACE mod also changed power armor durability and protection ratings. For sake of compatibility, I've reverted these changes to their vanilla values. 

Install:

• You MUST download PEACE for the art assets, as this mod file is the ESP only. You may be annoyed by this, but PEACE is neat, and even though I don't use the mod itself, show some love for Antistar's hard work.
• Then delete the ESP within PEACE. We only need the art assets from PEACE, not the mod itself. This mod is incompatible with PEACE.
• Activate this ESP (which is setup as an ESL). 
• (Optional) There are a lot of mods out there which modify vanilla power armor records in a variety of ways, I highly recommend checking for conflicts in xEdit and creating a merged patch/bash patch where appropriate. I will not be creating a patch for [insert mod]. 
  

Notes:

• I can't get the pouches to work well with the Tesla armor from the Mechanist DLC. Sorry, it's a skill issue. 
• I'm not sure that some of the naming updates work in the mod menu.
• This mod requires all DLC.

  PEACE is a modder's resource - for Fallout 4 mods. (See below if you want to use assets from PEACE in something other than a mod for Fallout 4.)You do need to provide credit for what you use, though. Something like "MRE meshes and textures from PEACE, by Antistar" for example, ideally with a link to the PEACE Nexus page.
