📋 About This Mod
With great contributions from Eckss.
If you're seeking to enhance your Skyrim with a greater selection of armor sets without breaking from the natural feel of the game, this mod is for you. It adds many new armor sets that have been seamlessly integrated into the world. The items are balanced and spread across your gaming experience. You will be finding new, power appropriate armor sets starting from level one up to level fifty and beyond.
This mod will be constantly evolving to bring new life into your world. Currently this mod adds 55 new sets of armor to the game (over 60 including variants), tons of additional non-set helmet options, 396 new shields, and a large number of other items such as eye patches, capes, earrings, scarves and more! They are all craftable, upgradable, enchantable and are integrated into the game through leveled lists, quest rewards, placement in dungeons and/or onto specific people.
New in version 7, there is now an MCM menu that supplies tons of ways for users to customize their Immersive Armors experience. For users that do not use SkyUI, you will find this menu as a spell in your spell book instead.
Version 8 further expands the MCM options for more customization, and allows for greater mod compatibility. See the change log for more details and other minor changes.

I would like to thank the users of my mods, and the Nexus community at large. I am honored to be a part of this community, and to contribute to it. Thank you for your patronage of my work, whether it comes through comments, endorsements or even a kind donation. You are the reason that I spend long hours of work bettering Skyrim. The Nexus community is the reason I continue to create mods. Thank you.
This mod REQUIRES version 1. 8+ of Skyrim. Before anything else is considered, make sure this is in place.
Q: BOSS says SPIKE.esm is not present or active - what do I do?
A: The BOSS version you're using is out of date. SPIKE.esm is no longer required. Update BOSS to v2. 2 (or better). BOSS v2. 2.
Q: WyreBash mentions some error with a helmet entry?
A: This is a false positive and should be ignored.
