📋 About This Mod

2. 0 New update after 13 years! Forwarded UOP changes (now a hard requirement). Split Vanilla and Shivering Isles versions into separate archives. Added Thief armor to Theranis (I can't believe I missed this! Thank you GoVoYT).

1. 4 Opps forgot too add Thief armor to Wrath

Really Final 1. 3 Renamed the unique Leather chest piece used in An Unexpected Voyage quest to Blackwater Cuirass and Lynch, Minx, and Selene now wear Thief armor to match.

Final 1. 2 Removed the hide amulet flag from all chest pieces since amulets can be viewed with these meshes. Updated Italian version as well.

1. 1 Added Thief armor to Armand Christophe, Dynari Amnis, and Dovyn Aren and edited the Lost Histories quest so that Amusei will get Thief armor instead of Leather (but this change wont take effect if you have already done the quest).

1. 0 Initial release.

Requires Unofficial Oblivion Patch.

Fixes perhaps one of the biggest oversights in all of Oblivion, all Leather armor, normal or enchanted now use meshes that were originally intended for it. The old Leather armor which was probably meant as armor unique to the Thieves Guild is still around, all NPCs that wore Leather armor that are part of the Thieves Guild now wear new "Thief" armor (stats the same as Leather, The Gray Fox wears some with the same enchantments as the Leather armor he originally wore) that uses the old meshes. A respawning chest is added to the Guildmaster's Quarters with a full set.

This adds no new meshes or textures, all resources come with the original game (that were just not used). A SI version is included that covers the enchanted Leather armor that it adds as well, but only one of the .esps should be used at a time.

The armor is compatible with the HGEC Body when used with the EVE HGEC Eyecandy Variants Expansion as it covers the meshes of the originals as well. Also reported to work with Robert's Female.
