📋 About This Mod
Improves the armor rating of Adamantium, Ice, and Royal Guard armor so that they're all more viable than glass armor, and also optionally renames Ice Armor to Stalhrim Armor. Now improves Bloodmoon's Bear and Snow Bear Armor as well!
This mod boosts the armor rating of Adamantium, Ice, and Royal Guard armors to surpass Glass armor, with an optional rename of Ice Armor to Stalhrim Armor. It also improves Bloodmoon's Bear and Snow Bear armors. A niche balance tweak for Morrowind players seeking viable medium armor options.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 141 endorsements and nearly 3k downloads.
- Makes medium armor actually competitive against Glass, which is a big deal for roleplayers.
- Optional rename adds lore-friendly flavor for Stalhrim fans.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — might not play nice with newer Morrowind mod setups.
- Only touches armor rating, so don't expect any other balance tweaks.
- Requires Bloodmoon expansion for the Bear armor improvements, which isn't mentioned in the description.
For Morrowind players who love medium armor but hate that Glass outclasses it. If you're a roleplayer who wants to wear Royal Guard or Stalhrim without feeling gimped, this is your mod. Skip if you want full armor overhaul — this is a focused stat tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, just drop the mod in and activate it — no load order headaches.
- Make sure you have the Bloodmoon expansion installed if you want the Bear armor improvements, or those parts won't work.
- The optional rename is a separate file or plugin — read the mod page to see how to enable it.
