📋 About This Mod
The original request by Inafog, for those interested, although the mod might not strictly follow any of the ideas presented there, can be found on the forums.
There is also an optional file that changes the looks of Umbra's armor to something more like the Morrowind version. It uses the meshes and textures from Vvardenfell Imports mod by themythofanst, so the bsa archive from that mod needs to be present and loaded for the optional file to function properly.
