WTF?


This mod aims to bring a little cultural diversity to Skyrim, primarily in terms of clothing and armour. Version 1. 0 covered only Khajiit civilians; version 2. 0 and above offer options for Argonians and Dunmer as well. It is completely modular, meaning that you can install exactly what you want, and nothing more.

Better screen shots will follow.

Khajiit Components


i) Khajiit Clothing

This was where the mod started, so I'll spend a little time explaining what the original idea was.

Basically, this component takes Dreamburrows Regal Assassin Armor as a basis and alters most NPC Khajiit to use some form of it instead of the standard merchant or farmer outfits.

My aim was to make the Khajiit feel even more like outsiders, wearing richly exotic clothes that the Nords of Skyrim, with their love of good, hard steel, would probably consider a little flamboyant or even ostentatious. Their clothes are meant to represent both cultural difference and identity.

Dreamburrows' outfit is quite beautiful, in my opinion, and it comes in both cloth and light armor, each with six colours and two variants of hood and/or scarves. I thought that should be enough to guarantee that not every Khajiit you meet will be wearing exactly the same clothing, but still look like they belong to the same culture.

I took a couple of approaches to the various Khajiit in the game. Firstly, the main characters which you can interact with, mostly among the caravan
