📋 About This Mod

I started this project after seeing Seraphaenya\'s \"A little skin\" project, which can be found here: http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=299. This is a collection of weapons and armor I have been working on for a while now and finally decided to upload here. I didn\'t know anything about photoshop when I started and my wife spent a couple evenings showing me the ropes and I owe everything that I learned to her. I also spent alot of time looking at Seraphaenya\'s files to figure out what I was doing wrong ( damn alpha channel!!!). Anywho I hope you guys enjoy them and feel free to leave comments or critique\'s. I will be updating this file as I get new items completed. If you have any specific requests for colors let me know I can get a color change up relatively quick. Version 1. 0 Light Armor Set Medium Armor Set (scale) (Most of the work on this armor was done by Seraphaenya) Medium Armor Set (Chain) Well it was chain, now it is skin and leather. Mage Staff Longbow Version 1. 1 Dagger Set - With Permission from Adonnay (who\'s mod I used can be found here: http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=777 ) I now have the daggers included in the DAZip. Sadly you will have to uninstall the old version to get the daggers, sorry for that. You do NOT need Adonnay\'s mod for the daggers to work but I highly suggest getting it as the work he is doing is outstanding. The daggers are Tier 3 just like the other weapons, no set bonus or other stats though. Version 1. 2 All the LOD Issues should be fixxed. I did do a minor graphical change to the daggers ( hope you like them better now). ARMOR IN THE DAGGER SCREENSHOT CAN BE FOUND HERE: http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=855 Red Daggers: Just extract the red dagger file to your override directory to change the daggers from red to blue. The Armor\'s have their own unique set bonuses, they are usable by all 3 female races. If you would like stats or to rank them up I highly recommend The Winter Forge mod which can be found here: http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=122 . The Winter Forge will not affect the appearance of any of the items so you can use it risk free. Installation: Use either DAUpdater or DAModder to install the DAZip file. All the files are unique and should not interfere with any other mod. The only issue is you can\'t start a new game with the mod on you must load a save game ( I know jack about scripting, sorry). On the Horizon: I will eventually get a sword and shield up. A mage robe or two. I plan on doing some work on the light studded armor as well.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod is from 2010, make sure your Oblivion is patched to the latest version to avoid any old mod conflicts.
  • Use a mod manager like Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) or Wrye Bash to install and manage the files easily.
  • Check the mod's file structure after download—if it's just meshes and textures, you can manually drop them into your Data folder if you prefer.
