📋 About This Mod
Outlandish Chitin Armour By Billyro
Description
This mod retextures the chitin armours from the Dragonborn DLC. The aim of this mod was to make the chitin armours look more fearsome and tailored. To do this, I have darkened and equalised the leather colour, then brightened the chitin pieces for contrast.
All pieces of the armour have been retextured (torso, gauntlets, boots, helmet - heavy and light, shield included) and it works for both genders. The textures are the same size as the official HD texture pack (2K torso, 1K everything else).
Compatibility
Will be compatible with any mods that alter chitin stats or the like, as this mod only replaces the textures.
Should be compatible with mods that change the chitin meshes, unless that mod alters the UV maps.
Will overwrite any mods that also retexture chitin.
Installation
Copy the contents of the archive folder to your Skyrim\Data folder. That's it! Alternatively, you can download with NMM and activate it through that.
Permissions
Please don't redistribute this mod. If you wish to use these textures in your own mod, please let me know beforehand.
v1: Initial release
Paint. NET - the tool I used to make this mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,432 endorsements—clearly a hit
- Nearly 288,000 downloads, so it's been tested by tons of players
- Does exactly what it says: retextures the Chitin Armour, no bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mod setups
- Only covers the Chitin Armour set, so if you wanted other Dragonborn armors retextured, you're out of luck
- No screenshots or detailed description provided, so you're flying blind on the visual changes
For Skyrim players who love the Dragonborn DLC's Chitin Armour but want a fresh coat of paint. If you're a completionist collecting armor retextures, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full armor overhaul—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple retexture, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order headaches.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, enable the mod and let it overwrite the original textures; no extra patches needed.
- Check the mod's image gallery on the Nexus (if any) to see the new look before installing, but since the description lacks screenshots, you might want to test it in-game.
