📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 108 endorsements and over 6k downloads.
- Gives the CC armors a much-needed visual upgrade with PBR materials.
- Flexible format options let you pick what fits your setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Creation Club armors, so if you don't own them, this is useless.
- PBR and complex material versions may require specific ENB or shader setups.
- Compatibility risk with other retextures that touch the same armors.
For Skyrim players who own the Alternative Armors CC content and want them to look better with modern PBR textures. Skip if you don't have the CC content or prefer vanilla-style visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using an ENB, go with the PBR or complex material version; otherwise stick to vanilla.
- Use a mod manager to easily switch between the three formats without manual file overwrites.
- Check your load order to ensure no other mod overwrites these textures.
