📋 About This Mod

What is this mod?

This mod is a Vanilla styled armour mash up designed for simple adventurer type characters. It's a light armour and clothing set consisting of Tunic, Gloves, and Boots. The Tunic comes in two variants, regular and sleeved, Tunic now comes in three variants, Regular, Sleeved, and Sleeveless, and in a few colour options: Black, Red, Blue, Green, and Brown.

Mod comes with prebuilt meshes for Vanilla males and females, and bodyslide files for HIMBO and CBBE. The HIMBO/CBBE files come with some extra zaps to remove the front and back pouches.

The light armour has the same stats as Leather and is temperable, armour/clothing is not added to any levelled lists but is craftable at a tanning rack/forge, please see the spoiler below for crafting recipes/details.

Clothing items can be crafted at a tanning rack

Gloves - 1 Linen Wrap + 1 Leather Strip

Boots - 1 Leather + 2 Leather Strips

Any Tunic - 2 Linen Wraps + 2 Leather Strips

Light armour versions are crafted at a forge, each armoured tunic colour variant requires the corresponding clothing version.

Example: Red Armoured Tunic - Red Tunic + 2 Leather + 2 Leather Strips

Gloves - 1 Linen Wrap + 2 Leather Strips + 1 Leather

Boots - 2 Leather + 3 Lether Strips

Tunic - Coloured Tunic of Choice + 2 Leather + 2 Leather Strips

Tunic Sleeved - Coloured Sleeved Tunic of Choice + 2 Leather + 2 Leather Strips

Tunic Sleeveless - Coloured Sleeveless Tunic of Choice + 2 Leather + 2 Leather Strips

Armour also comes with Frostfall/Survival keywords, and beast hand support. I haven't included any SPID files for this one because I couldn't decide where I'd want it distributed, if someone else would like to then go ahead.

Known Issues

There may be some minor areas of clipping, especially around the butt area and on the gloves, it's not visible on the HIMBO/CBBE presets I use but if you use something more extreme you might run into some problems. There may also be some clipping on the vanilla files, again especially with the gloves, I tried my hardest (I will not be making fingerless gloves again lmao)

Requirements

Bodyslide if you wish to build either of the HIMBO or CBBE versions

Not required but some parts of the armour still utilize vanilla textures (the small pouches and gloves) so I recommend using Gamwich's Rustic Clothing if you want the armour to look exactly like my sample images.[/size
