📋 About This Mod

This is a pluginless mesh replacer for a handful of pauldrons. The main goal here was to maintain the feel or the original sets while streamlining the shoulder armour. Some came out better than others, but all in all, I'm happy with the result! If you don't like a particular one, you can always remove the corresponding mesh before installing/overwriting anything.

I particularly like how the Adamantium, Iron, Orcish, and Steel sets came out! The Dwemer was a clipping nightmare to work with but it's something!

Some very impractical-looking pauldrons have been left untouched because they are just too iconic! What's more, if you're the sort to wear them, you probably aren't too concerned with practicality.

Hope you enjoy! Cheers!

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of the mesh replacers and easily revert if you don't like the look.
  • Check the mod's compatibility with other armor mods you use—mesh replacers can conflict if they edit the same files.
  • Since it's a mesh replacer, load order usually doesn't matter, but placing it after other armor mods ensures it takes priority.
