📋 About This Mod

Description Based on the Male Cleric Armor mod. This mod adds up to three new male only cleric armor variants to the game of different armor ratings. This allows the player to keep a clothing, light, and heavy variant installed simultaneously without having to uninstall and reinstall the mod from NMM to switch. Each armor type variant allows the user to select unique rune colors and skin replacer options. This mod doesn\'t require the original Male Cleric Armor mod to function; but installing the original mod can allow you up to four simultaneously installed variants. Armor type determines both the weight and stats of the armor in-game. Light and cloth choices can be crafted under the leather crafting perk, while heavy armor is crafted under the ebony category. In all cases we have taken care to ensure the stats are reasonable and balanced. Heavy armor closely follows the base ebony stats, while light armor is very close to dragon plate stats. The crafting recipes are variations of the basic Ebony armor recipes adjusted for the type of armor in question; but there are some important differences that will make acquiring the required ingredients a slight challenge. 0ew4QNkDyTA BZoQqPoWyIQ Crafting The crafting recipes can be located under either leather or ebony depending on the choice of armor rating. For light and cloth variants the crafting recipes are located under the leather category. The heavy armor variants have the crafting recipes located under the ebony category. Installation Nexus Mod Manager is strongly recommended for installation. If you choose to install the plugin manually, you will need to make several choices about how and what to install.

[]Copy the meshes directory from one of the GauntletVariant directories to your skyrim data folder. []Copy the meshes directory from one of either the ArmorVariant/DefaultTex or ArmorVariant/ReplaceTex directories to your skyrim data folder. []The nine variants have individual pics inside the FOMOD directory. The names are identical to the directory names that contain the .nifs inside either ReplaceTex or DefaultTex. []If you want chainmail or leather instead of skin, use the meshes from ReplaceTex, and not from DefaultTex. []If you select a torso variant from one of the ArmorVariant/ReplaceTex directories, you will need to copy one of the SkinVariants to your skyrim data folder. []Default uses whatever skin texture you have installed right now for males. []Tattoo options will replace the base skin texture for all males in the game, and thus if you use DefaultTex armors, you will now have body tattoos. []Chainmail and Leather need a ReplaceTex armor variant, it literally replaces all s
