📋 About This Mod

SE Conversion of Alecu's Original Mod, featuring a full craftable and temperable armor set

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

I also changed  from Clothing to Light Armor, edited the values, removed the HDT High Heels dependency, and reduced the stats to the same as Ancient Shrouded Armor

I converted the BHUNP version by zhongjiedong to my new alterations.

and thanks to sattyre, there are 3BA CBBE and standard CBBE versions

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:

I made this for my character. I wanted a stylish and sexy armor set. Honestly it looks like a female witcher armor. Probably all those 300 hours of witcher influenced me :D.

It was initially inspired by the lovely Ashara Princes of the woods outfit from SydneyB.

I didn't copy anything, I just liked the overall idea and the style very much and tried to make something a bit similar because there weren't enough outfits like that.

But honestly, now it looks more like some sort of female witcher armor. I guess playing 300 hours of witcher 3 made a lasting impression on me :D.
