📋 About This Mod
SleekSteel - Form-Fitting Steel Armor Replacer and Stand-Alone - UNP-UNPB-CBBE I\'ve tried to create a more distinctive replacer for the default steel armor in the game. These are replacers for the female armor only (I wouldn\'t even know where to begin on a male version.) There is also a \"Stand-Alone\" version of the armor, for those who wish to still use the default version. Currently, there are versions for the UNP, UNPB and CBBE body replacers. Although the mod is called \"SleekSteel,\" the armor itself is called \"Fine Steel\" in-game. This was done to make it easier to find with the console \"Help\" command since there are very few items with the keyword \"Fine.\" I also thought that \"Fine Steel\" was a more \"lore-friendly\" name than \"SleekSteel.\" And yes, I know, the armor itself isn\'t exactly lore-friendly! ;-) The Stand-Alone Version is also listed as \"Fine Steel\" in the steel menu when you wish to forge it or improve it. MAIN FILES: These are all the current versions of the armor. All the \"Stand-Alone\" armors can be forged and upgraded under the \"Steel\" category as \"Fine Steel.\" If you\'ve already downloaded the armor, you don\'t need to download any of these again. My custom textures for the Stand-Alone and Full Replacer armors are also in this section. UPDATES: \"CBBE Boot-Fix by ChronoTrigger77.\" New meshes that replace the current boot meshes in all 3 versions of the CBBE armor; Stand-Alone, Full Replacer & the Custom Texture User Version. All are in seperate files in the ZIP, so just use the one for the armor you have installed. Graciously contributed to the cause by ChronoTrigger77. Even if you don\'t use my armor, you should still grab these boot meshes as a replacer for your default boots! OPTIONAL: Having gotten a number of requests for the bodysuit as a \"stand-alone,\" I opted, instead, to offer versions of it as a modder\'s resource. As I use variations of the textures in other mods, I\'ll also be uploading them here for modders to use as they see fit... Have fun!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 6,402 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads
- Works with UNP, UNPB, and CBBE, so most body mod users are covered
- Gives steel armor a sleek, form-fitting look that many players prefer
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition
- Only affects steel armor; if you want other armors changed, you'll need additional mods
For Skyrim players who want a more streamlined, form-fitting steel armor set without overhauling the whole game. If you use UNP, UNPB, or CBBE body mods, this is a must-try. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly bulky armor or want changes to more than just steel.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the correct body mod (UNP, UNPB, or CBBE) installed before adding this mod, or the armor may clip or distort.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check the mod's file structure to see if there are separate ESPs for the replacer and stand-alone versions; you can choose to install only one.
