📋 About This Mod
Y. A. A. R.(M) -------------------- This mod aims to offer a stylized, somewhat more revealing reinterpretation of the stock Armors, fitted to the Hentai Gentleman\'s Eye-Candy body. This is my second go at my first armor release, my old and somewhat ugly Iron replacemnt mesh and retexture; I\'ve significantly improved the appearance overall, hopefully creating a far more pleasing armor to look at. This comes in both \"Vanilla\" HGEC and in a Better Bouncing Boobs version. And, on the off chance that someone likes the old version better, I\'ll be keeping that one up as well. I will be periodically releasing other stock armors, similarly re-envisioned. This work is free for anyone to screw around with, though acknowledgments would be nice. -------------------- REQUIREMENTS: HGEC Body and skins installed. Also the BBB skeleton and compatible animations if you go for the bouncing version. -------------------- INSTALLATION: Simply drag the meshes and textures folders into the data directory, and overwrite whatever comes up. Easy Peasy. UNINSTALLING: Locate your Oblivion file, and proceed to data/meshes/armor/iron/f and remove cuirass.nif and greaves.nif; then go to your textures/armor/iron/f folder and remove cuirassc.dds, cuirassc_n.dds, greavesb.dds, and greavesb_n.dss files. -------------------- ISSUES: None, inasfar as I am aware. Everything appears to be functioning normally. But please note that if you want the (perhaps slightly exaggerated) bounce you\'ll need the BBB mod... unless you want your bubs to all be shooting off into SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE. ----------------- Thanks you for your time; I hope this effort meets with your approval.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 840 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- Gives Iron Armor a sleeker, more form-fitting silhouette for HGEC users.
- Simple replacer—no complex patches or compatibility headaches.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010—might not play nice with newer mods or engine patches.
- Only affects Iron Armor, so don't expect changes to other sets.
- Requires HGEC body mod, so it's useless if you don't use that body type.
For Oblivion players who use the HGEC body mod and want their Iron Armor to match that aesthetic. If you're not into body replacers or prefer more traditional armor designs, this isn't for you. It's purely cosmetic—no stat changes or new mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have HGEC installed first, or the armor will look broken.
- Use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to install and manage this replacer.
- If you're using other armor replacers, check load order to ensure this one takes priority.
