📋 About This Mod



As I said in my profile, I'm taking a break. I'll try to check regularily for comments, but I won't take any request ! Happy gaming and happy modding everyone, see you soon !

I loved theses "loose shirt" mesh the npc were wearing and wanted them for my Rooks so bad... So I decided to finally do something about it !

※  New  ※

◆ Hood pack : retextures for the rogues and warriors hoods, for mix and match with the other retextures !

Load them after the main retextures !

  • []I didn't share for mages as my pointless poncho retextures are doing exactly the same for the mages hoods !

    ◆ update 2. 0 on all the swap files (main and optional) and the library file

    • []Fingers crossed, it will fix some issues !

      ◆ ressources : fbprojects for every swaps in the misc section

      • []If you want to add things to the armors for yourself, there's a base for you to start ^^

        []If you need help doing so, I recommend you to check violadesdragons' guide on mashup and mesh swapping, and Gabett's  Beginner's Guide to Frosty Editor and Mod Making !

        ◆ Faction themed recolor : muted Mourn Watch - inspired by Izzli's Muted Mourn Watch palette
