A Version for the Skyrim Special Edition can be found here!


Description: This mod adds several alternate Stormcloak cuirasses and armor pieces to the game:

  • []Studded Texture Variant []Chainmail Texture Variant []Stormcloak Cuirass with Sleeves []Stormcloak Cuirass with Iron Pauldron []Stormcloak Cuirass with Steel Pauldron []Iron, Leather & Plate Boot Variants
  • Iron, Leather & Plate Variants

All armor pieces have a male and female version. In addition to that, do they own a unique inventory & ground model. They can be created at a forge and are temperable. The base body is the normal vanilla body. I won't to any patches for the different body mods out there.

Ingame Stormcloak Soldiers have also a chance to wear this armor instead of the vanilla armor.

Installation:

The mod archive contains an ESP- and BSA a file. Use a mod-manager of your choice to install these files or simply paste them in Skyrim's "Data" folder. If installing this mod into an existing savegame, don't forget to wait or sleep for 31 days. This is needed to make everything available immediately.

For compatibility with other mods I recommend to use Wrye Bash and create a Bashed Patch. I only edited three vanilla level lists & two Stormcloak Outfit lists to distribute the armors.
