Most power armor mods add a way to get a full set of the power armor right from the start of the game. Power Armor to the People makes changes to this so that the sets fit into the progression when starting a new game, with full sets either removed, turned into partial sets, or moved behind locked doors depending on how high level the set is.

Note: This feature does not affect Creation Club power armor, since they come with a quest to retrieve them and cost real money. I personally use Creation Club Delayed to offset this (thanks to jsalex for pointing this out).
