- Handmade textures from CaBaL, known for quality armor retextures
- Gives early-game armor a visual upgrade that fits the game's aesthetic
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so it may not be optimized for the latest Skyrim versions or mod setups
- Only covers Hide and Studded Hide armor, so you'll need other mods for the rest of your gear
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
- Load order doesn't matter much for textures, but if you have other mods that change the same armor, put this one lower in the load order to ensure it wins.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user screenshots and compatibility notes, since the description lacks them.
