📋 About This Mod
Frankly HD Shrouded Armor and Weapons
What is the music of life?
Silence, my brother.
High resolution (4k and 2k available) retexture of Shrouded armor. Made following the color scheme of the original, an alternative dark-purple color scheme close to it's Oblivion counterpart is also available.
The design of the back of the male armor has been improved incorporating some details from the female set to not feel as empty and unfinished as vanilla.
Vanilla normal maps were upscaled with a neural network software leading to much crisper and clearer details than one normally gets with upscaling on traditional image editing software.
Meshes have not been touched, it is therefore compatible with every mesh replacer.
Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch is recommended since it restores some elements of male armor that were cut in vanilla, for example, the belt that can be seen in female.
Frankly HD Shrouded Armor is a high-resolution 4K and 2K retexture of the Dark Brotherhood's Shrouded armor, featuring heavily enhanced normal maps and an optional color scheme. With 1,907 endorsements and 45,652 downloads, it's a popular choice for Skyrim players seeking visual upgrades.
