📋 About This Mod
Nordic Wanderer By Billyro
Description
This mod adds two new swords and a new armour set for male and females. There is full weight-slider support and the armour should be compatible with all body mods.
The equipment is similar to ebony in stats. You can temper and enchant all items.
To obtain the crafting manual, go south of Nightgate Inn (which is west of Windhelm) until you reach the Wanderer's Monument. The small quest should be fairly straight forward. (If you need help, go down to the bottom of this page.)

Sharp Normals: normal maps regenerated with more detail, making the edges of the metal much more prominent. The scratches and small dents will pop out a lot more. The bolts and such also have more shape. Get this if you like grittiness over smoothness.
Vanilla Textures: textures painted on top of vanilla assets instead of aMidianBorn assets. You may be wondering why you would want to download these instead of the original ones; well, for starters, the normal maps were made by Gamwich, so it'll look extra good. Furthermore, the vanilla textures blend together better - so the upper and lower body have less differences. There is also more suitable contrast for environmental mapping. Swayed yet?
Alternate Cubemaps: drastically changes the way the metal appears in-game. Simply overwrite the main files with your chosen cubemap and it will appear that way in-game.
Nordic Wanderer Helm Addon: a mod by Destero which adds a new helmet based on the Dawnguard full helmet in the style of this mod. You can download it here.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with all mods. If a mod drastically alters the area south of the Nightgate Inn, then there might be some overlapping objects and such, but it shouldn't be too bad.
I have cleaned the mod with TES5EDIT.
Installation
Copy the contents of the archive folder to your Skyrim\Data folder. Activate the .esp file in the Skyrim Launcher. That's it! Alternatively, you can download with NMM and activate it through that.
Known Issues
The high-weight body meshes have slightly different smoothing parameters to the low-weight meshes. This doesn't become apparent until you go all the way to a 1. 00 weight. If it bothers you, simpl
