📋 About This Mod
This mod simply changes the appearance of the starting armor into other armors depending on race and gender, list below. All armors should be tintable. Few important things: in CC your character will always show up in warrior version of the armor and the skin tint on it will not match with the face but later in the game everything works fine, there is nothing i can do about this.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 344 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Does exactly what it says: replaces the mercenary coat's look.
- Zero hassle—just a visual swap, no new mechanics to learn.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—might be broken with current game patches.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on the new look.
- Only affects the starting coat, so if you want variety later, this won't help.
For players who hate the default mercenary coat and want a different look right from the start. If you're after a full armor overhaul or gameplay changes, skip this—it's purely cosmetic.
