I'm having trouble removing the restrictions given to shields/helmets/armour for Druids. I used the Big World Mod setup program for the installation of BGT and it automatically installed the Item Revisions pack without giving me any options. I've tried running the setup-item_rev.exe to remove the restrictions but it shows that that part of the module isn't currently installed.
Restrict Fighter/Druids to Armor that Druids Can Wear (*)

Is there anything else that affects Druid armour usability?

Well, it's part of the primary component of the mod. This:
~ITEM_REV/ITEM_REV.TP2~ #0 #0 // Item Revisions by Demivrgvs: v2 (Hotfix 20091009)

Now, if you wish to make a hack out of the thing, I can help you...

These two changes are a part of IR's main component and can be reverted with this mini-mod. When IR v3 is released, these will be moved out of the main component and become available solely in the global components.

Did you forget the Fighter/Druid multi-class?
PS: What's this supposed to be? The (\([%lnl%%mnl%%wnl%].*\)*\) in 
~Not Usable By:.*\(\([%lnl%%mnl%%wnl%].*\)*\)[%lnl%%mnl%%wnl%][ %tab%]*Druid~
-just out of interest? :)

I don't think so. The two changes are "Druids can't wear helmets" and "Fighter/Druids can't use armor (and shields etc.) that Druids can't" and there are separate components for each.

PS: What's this supposed to be? The \(\([%lnl%%mnl%%wnl%].*\)*\) in 

REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~Not Usable By:.*\(\([%lnl%%mnl%%wnl%].*\)*\)[%lnl%%mnl%%wnl%][ %tab%]*Druid~
 ~Not Usable By:\1~
-just out of interest? :)

It registers a bunch of lines of text of anything (and stores the result). [%lnl%%mnl%%wnl%].* means a newline character followed by any amount of text. Wrapping it in \( \) and adding a * to that means any number (0 or more) of these lines. Adding a further \( \) around the whole thing will store whatever text was matched, so we can use it later as \1. The whole operation is to remove a line containing Druid from the "Not Usable By" section of the description.

Thanks for the help guys, although I managed to bork my installation last night by attempting to uninstall another mod (I'll get the selection right yet!) so I'll put your advice to use when I've reinstalled the mods I hopefully want. sigh...

EDIT: That posted file worked a treat, many thanks! :)

Sorry for double post, but I think it's different enough from my previous to justify it.

I modified the file so that not all but some Armours were wearable by Fighter/Druids, as I didn't feel comfortable with Jaheira being able to wear Full Plate Armor. The effect of this is that Chainmail and below are now usable whereas Plate Armour isn't.
