Black and Gold Elven Equipment with Masked Helmet

Craftable Thalmor Equipment - Standalone Version

A standalone version created by JulianP which replaces Thalmor NPC elven equipment with new black and gold Thalmor armor and weapons, while leaving the default elven armor and weapons unchanged. Also adds recipes to craft Thalmor equipment at the forge. Includes OPTIONAL files for \"Maskless Thalmor\" (Thalmor Npcs will only wear the maskless version of the Thalmor Helmet), \"Crafting-Only\" (Thalmor equipment will be exclusive to the player through smithing. Thalmor NPCs will wear their default elven equipment), and \"Early version save game compatibility\" (Some save games that rely on version 1. 2 and lower will experience issues upgrading to newer versions, and so should use this optional plugin. As a side effect, this plugin will remove light elven armor from the game). IMPORTANT: For those upgrading from version 1. 4 \"Crafting Exclusive Version\" you will have to rename \"ThalmorStandalone.esp\" to \"CraftableThalmorEquipment.esp\". Not doing so will result in the loss of any previous Thalmor Equipment you have already aquired. This was an oversight on my part, and I apologize for the inconvenience! Note: For those using the mod \"PISE,\" This mod may be compatible but should be loaded after PISE. About Crafting... Crafting Thalmor weapons requires the perk \"elven smithing\" and crafting thalmor armor requires the perk \"advanced armors\". The Thalmor Armor has an armor rating that is better than elven but worse than glass, and the Thalmor weapons have the same damage as elven weapons, but are slightly faster and costlier to craft and upgrade. Both masked and maskless versions of the thalmor helmet are craftable. Thalmor armor is listed under the \"Steel\" category, Thalmor weapons are listed under the \"Elven\" category.

Black and Gold Elven Equipment - Replacer version

This version REPLACES all elven armor with the black and gold texture and masked helms (Beast race helmets in optional download). Also included a fixed mesh for Elven warhammer, battleaxe, and Greatsword (NPC equipped and Dropped models), and a .esp to fix elven ear clipping with helmets. This version does not include any new recipes or items. Also included in the readme are optional install instructions for masked helmets only or textures only. Known issues: - In the Standalone version, A small amount of stubborn Thalmor may continue to use their old armor, or go naked. This issue should only appear in saved games prior to installing this mod, while new games should show all thalmor dressed in their appropriate attire. - The masked helmet shouldn\'t show clipping with most faces (extra long noses and chins, as well as orc mouths might be a problem) but will show clipping with most beards.
