📋 About This Mod
Changes of April 2026: Moved the hood yet again due of past feedback! (& that during a recent replay it didn't appear for myself either now for some reason???) The hood has now been relocated on the floor right in front of the bed in Deepscorn Hollow, due placing it in either the unusual box (the box that contains the Crimson Eviscerator) or the Greywyn's Armoire dresser containers it doesn't appear for some reason! So, hopefully this relocation is more suffice.
Do you find it kinda dull that the Raiment of the Crimson Scar (from the DLC Vile Lair) appearance uses the Dark Brotherhood Shrouded Armor textures &/or meshes? You want it to look a bit different? Well, I got a bit revamp fix for it for everyone!
First, copy/paste the contents from the 00 core + vanilla folder, for it has the important files! After that copy/paste any of the replacers folder contents of your liking over the vanilla. Enjoy!
This includes a ESP to make it possible, textures (a few from Vanilla Gear Redux), & some various (mostly female HGEC) mesh choices I borrowed from other modders!
The main texture file of this is a recolored of the Dark Brotherhood Shrouded Armor texture files, they now a more Crimson red color!
This also adds a matching hood in the game as well! It can easily be find on the floor in front of your bed in Deepscorn Hollow!
With permission from Dead47 I'm using their red texture from their Dark Brotherhood Armor Extended mod.
Most like the original creators of the meshes & textures I used from, free to use but please give credit if used. Exception is the optional texture download, you'll have to ask Dead47 permission to use that texture.
