📋 About This Mod
As titled. I love what xenogearslucas did for the armor found in Unique Crimson Scar Mantle And Shroud For Vile Lair Redux.
But I don't use that mod and thought it would be cool to make it a replacer for the vanilla raiment of the crimson scar armor and add in a hood as well!
Obviously this requires the Vile lair DLC and you acquire it the same way you would do the vanilla armor. (from the grimoire in the bed/coffin room after you have purchased that upgrade for the lair)
The added hood has stats that are the same as the Dark Brotherhood shroud but buffed to match the higher tier Crimson Scar armor. This may be a little strong if you are a very low level, but you need to have a fair amount of spare gold to get the upgrades to get the armor in the first place so I think its fairly balanced.
The mod requires a skeleton like this or if you are using ORC or similar that includes a skeleton you will be good to go.
The meshes work fine and fit well with vanilla bodies (as pictured)
All credit to Xenogearslucas for the meshes and textures and making permissions open, I simply knocked up a plugin and will upload here with the same permissions.
I made this for personal use but thought some others may enjoy it as well.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (28,960 downloads, 70 endorsements) — people grab it but few bother to endorse.
- Simple drop-in replacer: no new items, just better-looking gear for your character.
- Last updated in early 2024, so it's recent enough for current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 70 endorsements — it's a niche visual tweak, not a must-have.
- No screenshots or detailed description provided, so you're flying blind on what the new textures actually look like.
- Since it's a replacer, it overrides the original look — if you don't like it, you'll need to uninstall manually.
For fashion-conscious players who want a fresh look for the Crimson Scar gear without adding new items. If you're after gameplay changes or new armor sets, this isn't for you — it's purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original texture files if you want to revert easily.
- Use a mod manager to keep track of the replacement and uninstall cleanly.
- Check the mod's images on the Nexus page before installing to see if the new look suits your taste.
