📋 About This Mod

SE Conversion of Alecu's Original Mod, featuring a craftable and temperable All-In-One armor piece.

I optimized meshes and updated the FormID, plus made it esl-flagged

I also changed  from Clothing to Light Armor, and reduced the stats to the same as Royal Vampire Armor

Now featuring the Blackguard Retexture by AurianaValoria1 included as a separate armor set.

I still need to make a ground object mesh for this armor, but need to learn how to do that. Will update at some point

Thanks to xavier0self, there's a BHUNP version

and thanks to sattyre, there's a CBBE version

both have Bodyslide

As of Version 2. 2, I have Cleaned all Texture files, removing Compression Artifacts and Converting them to BC7 format, AND upscaled all textures by 4x, to a maximum of 4k resolution.

Performance Options for Potato PCs

Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduces VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.

For Potato PCs, I've uploaded downscaled versions where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted here.

These are optional texture-only addons and require the main file.

Choose either:

2k/1k for Baked Potatoes

or

1k/512 for Mashed Potatoes

If you want full 2k or full 1k, etc, then use Cathedral Assets Optimizer

Alecu's Armor Collection 4K:

Deadly Assassin

Mystric Enchantress

Lady Aribeth

Stylish Pirate

==========================================

Original description:

This is my attempt to make an armor similar to the one Lady Aribeth had in Neverwinter Nights.

I really loved her; too bad the game creators made crap out of her. It's still beta though.

So some clipping is expected, weird deformation is expected too. It's really hard to fix them all together. Fixing something breaks something else.

Will try to fix them when I have the time. Also the body slider does not work yet.

I really enjoy modeling so I took the liberty of modeling lots of things

into this armor. I also baked some base shadows, ambient occlusion

and other stuff into them.

Also big thanks for the support and testing to AurianaValoria1

I do not want to hear complaints about having too many polygons.

I could have done a better job of lowering the polygons, I know but I decided not to since I do not have enough

time. I wrestled with a lot of issues. And I have other things to do in real life.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
  • Make sure your body mod (UNP, CBBE, etc.) is installed first so the armor meshes align properly.
  • Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after any body replacers to avoid texture conflicts.
