📋 About This Mod
No more Backpacks
A very simple and tiny mod for those like me who doesn't like the Backpacks in Sola armors. The mod will be applied to the Battlemage, Enchanter and Apprentice armors (not to be confused with the Mail armors).
His back will now be completly clean. Given that the armor was made to work with the backpack at the top, the Superior and Refined armors, which adds a cape to the mesh, will slightly clipp and the unions between the chest and waist cape meshes will be more obvious. The belt that goes across the torso from front to back was slightly modified to avoid mayor clipping into the cape, for more reference please see the images above.
No more hand claw
Now this is a optional mod that removes the claw thing from the Battlemage Coat/armor arms upgrades in Solas, which also bugged me from day one. The little claw thing in his pinky finger of the right arm wasn't removed 'cuz then he will lose it. This mesh was hidden inside the hand to avoid the mesh go out and dance through the screen, however some minor hand animations will make the mesh piece to pop-up, however it's almost unnoticible.
