📋 About This Mod

Cloaks of the Nords  

is a Cape & Cloak Replacement Mod which aims to retexture all capes and cloaks added by other mods such as Cloaks of Skyrim.

 The goal is to retexture them so that the lore, quality, and style of all capes and cloaks match that of Designs of the Nords. Elements included contain previous work by 

Foxia

 and 

KEBW1144

 which were used in the Designs of the Nords banner replacement mod. This mod is not complete. 

I will be updating this mod on a regular basis until completed. 

So far, I have only worked on capes from Cloaks of Skyrim.  For now, Worn capes are completed. I still need to retexture static capes and and I have just begun work on the cloaks. Please let me know if you have questions.

This mod was created with compatibility in mind. It was made for Cloaks of Skyrim as of now. You will have to make a choice on which textures you wish to overwrite from that mod. This has been tested successfully, but if you seem to find an issue, please send it my way and I'll do my best to get it fixed as soon as possible.

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 1,808 endorsements and over 62k downloads.
  • Fills a specific niche for players who want visual consistency with Designs of the Nords.
  • Lightweight texture mod that doesn't add new items, just improves existing ones.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2017 — may be outdated for current game versions.
  • Requires other cloak mods to be useful, so it's not standalone.
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have a cloak mod like Cloaks of Skyrim installed first, otherwise this mod has nothing to retexture.
  • Place the mod files in your Data folder or use a mod manager to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
  • Check load order if you use multiple texture mods — this should load after other cloak textures to take effect.
