📋 About This Mod
---DESCRIPTION---
This is a recolour of the Sunless Armour which removes the chainmail cape on the chest piece and leggings. Included as well are Black and Red Colour Options.
The texture files are uncompressed to prevent artefacting. I have yet to fully experiment with the iGP11 conversion options to achieve a better result.
As such, if unzipping 480mb of textures is a problem for you, I have uploaded the options individually. You can find them in the downloads section. Otherwise feel free to delete those you don't want or need.
The files are located within folders so they can be identified and mixed up if you so desire. e.g if you want red armour but a black veil
---INSTALLATION---
Install iGP11 if you haven't already. It is the tool which allows texture replacement. Link to iGP11 if you need it: http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/mods/28/?
Go into the folders and place your desired files in your tex_override folder in the game directory. e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS III\Game\tex_override
Run the game using the iGP11 launcher shortcut, or using its configurator.
Now go out there and be the edgiest darkmoon around ^^
---NOTES---
Please credit me if you use these recolours in any mods of your own.
A compact cosmetic mod for Sunless Armour, offering black or red color options with or without chainmail. With 118 endorsements and 2,575 downloads, it's a niche choice for players wanting to customize their armor's appearance. Last updated in 2016, so compatibility with current game versions is uncertain.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Niche but appreciated (118 endorsements) — if you want to tweak Sunless Armour, this is one of the few options
- Two color choices and chainmail toggle give you four variants to mix and match
- Lightweight and focused — no bloat, just the armor tweak you asked for
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may be broken with the current game version, so test carefully
- Only affects Sunless Armour — if you wanted more customization, this won't scratch that itch
For players who use Sunless Armour and want a quick color swap or to ditch the chainmail. Skip if you're looking for broader armor overhauls or if you're on a newer game version where this might not work.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, manually drop the files into your Data folder and enable the mod in your launcher
- If you're using a mod manager, make sure to load this after the original Sunless Armour mod to ensure it takes effect
- Test in-game by crafting or acquiring the armor to see if the textures apply correctly
