📋 About This Mod
If you are like me, then the idea of your ruthless assassin in a robe is a little bogus. So I took Naglio\'s awesome clothing and made it a light armor with a similar enchantment to the Black Hand robe. You\'ll find it in the house beside the basement door. It\'s my first mod so please rate and give me CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. (\"your smelly mod won\'t work!!!\" is hardly constructive.:) Version 1. 1 has the fixed texture paths (sorry to anyones whose game crashed) And thanks Jorril for telling how to fix it! Credits go to: Bethesda Softworks -Exnem Female Eyecandy Body Replacer -RAIAR HGEC body -Xiamara Clothing Resource for HGEC 1. 1 Naglio Original mod Dezdimona For putting up my myriad of nOOb questions. You Rock! Oh and use this any way you want, just put my name and everyone else listed somewhere. Note I did not change any meshes or textures on this outfit. All credit for the outfit itself goes to Naglio. All i did was pull the pieces I wanted, made them armor, and stuck them in a chest.
Adds a chest containing a new Black Hand armor set to the Cheydinal Abandoned House in Oblivion. A simple, lore-friendly addition for players who want a unique armor piece without complex quests or scripts. Last updated in 2009, so compatibility with modern setups is uncertain.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009—may have compatibility issues with newer Oblivion patches or mods.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to activate the mod in your Oblivion launcher's Data Files section after placing the file in your Data folder.
- The chest is in the Cheydinal Abandoned House—if you've already cleared it, the chest should still be there, but check the basement.
- Since the mod is old, consider using a mod manager like Wrye Bash to avoid conflicts with other mods.
