📋 About This Mod
This mod is a conversion of Dragten's Bandolier mod to fit the UNPB body. The modifications were made based on a character with the standard UNPB body wearing the West Wind Assault armor.
The bandoliers and pouches will fit fairly close to the body. Please bear in mind this may not be a perfect fit depending on what armor your character is wearing.
I have received feedback that this mod is a good fit for the CBBE and regular UNP body as well.
Installation
You must install the original Bandoliers mod first. This patch will not work without it. Install this patch using NMM and overwrite files when prompted. If you are installing manually, simply unzip the .rar file and copy over the meshes to their appropriate folder.
IMPORTANT - If you wish to use the Dawnguard items (notebook & flask) you must install the original 'Bandolier - Dawnguard' mod first. This mod requires the official Dawnguard DLC and will not work without it.
If you install the Dawnguard patch after the original patch with NMM, please choose 'No' if asked to upgrade. This will install the mod normally.

ISSUES / CLIPPING
These modifications were made using Nifskope. I am only familiar with basic manipulation of meshes such as resizing and positioning. You will see some clipping issues when using the bandoliers especially if you have a character with larger breasts. This is unavoidable without using a more complicated program. If you wish to disguise the gap between the bandolier and your character's back, I would recommend using a mod that provides backpacks such as Frostfall.
The large bandolier (5 pouches, no shoulderpad) will not fit on characters less than about 80 weight. For some reason, the zero weight version of the mesh is not retaining the fixes I have made. If anyone can help with this or perhaps even fix it, please get in contact with me.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone using this patch with different body types. If it is a good fit, I may change the description to state that it is compatible.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,140 endorsements and 73k downloads
- Essential fix for UNPB users who want to wear bandoliers without clipping
- Simple mesh swap—no extra scripts or gameplay changes
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—may not work with the latest Skyrim version or other body mods

- Only fixes meshes; no new bandolier designs or textures
For Skyrim players who use the UNPB or CBBE body and want the Bandolier mod to fit properly. If you're on a different body type or don't use Bandolier, skip this—it's purely a compatibility patch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install the original Bandolier mod first, then overwrite its meshes with this fix.
- If you use a mod manager, let this mod overwrite the original files to ensure the body-compatible meshes take effect.
- Check your load order—this mod has no plugin, so just make sure the meshes are installed after the original.
