📋 About This Mod
Please visit us on Discord:
Desert Punks is a new, lore friendly, well done outfit pack. I've Compacted the ESP for ESL (to take one less slot from your ESP limit), bumped resistance values, changed armor slots to allow armor options, and created two Leveled Lists for injection.
Raiders really only have one valid Leveled List (LL) for Injection of outfits, LL_Armor_Raider_OnePiece_variants. Unfortunately those only show on dead bodies or specifically selected NPC. Raiders are intended to have outfits built piecemeal using LL_Armor_Raider_Underwear plus other armor pieces. Throw an outfit on that LL and the game produces naked raiders when an armor piece is added.
Desert Punks already has 3 underarmors in the main mod which will work fine on underarmor LLs and won't have any clipping armor. About 1/2 of the remaining sets are configured as Underarmor. The have some clipping but overall work fine.
The remaining outfits have their Armor slots mostly set to just Torso, leaving the arms and legs open to armor pieces. Some armor pieces WILL NOT work well here as the clipping will be very bad. Other armors actually seem appropriate while clipping with leg or arm wraps.
Wastelanders have been given some Desert Punk sets to add a little variety too. We'll just consider them bad-ass wastelanders who killed raiders and got new threads. So if the people wearing these outfits are shooting at you, they are Raiders. Plus, the Raiders will very possibly wear Raider armor and head-wear too.
The 3 underarmor pieces have no armor rating. The other outfits have an armor rating of either 20 or 40. That way a person still has some protection if they want to wear these outfits without other armor pieces.
A Complex Sorter .ini file is included for those who use it. Ignore it otherwise.
Leveled List Injection
Two outfit sets were put together for this mod:
- LL_Desert_Punk_Armor
- LL_Desert_Punk_Underarmor
Wastelander version Injection:
- Full Armor sets spawn to LL_Clothes_Wastelander
- Underarmor spawns to LL_Armor_Raider_Underwear
Raider Overhaul One version injection:
- Full Armor spawns to RO1 Full Outfits - No Headwear. Headwear spawns is simultaneous but from a separate LL.
- Underarmor spawns to LL_Armor_Raider_Underwear
Installation
Choose a Version.
The new .esp compacted for . ESL are the versions being maintained.
The Patch versions are older and only for Desert Punk Raiders version . 20
Raider Overhaul One users should get the Raider Overhaul One versions as the injection is optimized for RO1 Leveled Lists.

This patch compacts the Desert Punks outfit pack for Skyrim, converting it to ESL, boosting resistance values, and adjusting armor slots for better compatibility.

- ESL compaction saves mod slots, a big win for load order management
- Leveled list injection means the outfits show up naturally in loot and enemies
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods
- Requires the original Desert Punks mod, which isn't included here
For Skyrim players who already use Desert Punks and want better stats and integration. Also great for mod hoarders who need to save ESP slots. Skip if you don't have the original mod or prefer vanilla balance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Desert Punks mod installed first, as this patch requires it.
- Load this patch after Desert Punks in your mod manager to ensure the changes apply correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the ESL flagging automatically.
