📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 5,074 endorsements and 305k downloads — this is a proven favorite.
- Modular design means you can mix and match pieces to create your own look.
- Supports all the major body mods (CBBE, 3BA, UBE, BHUNP), so it fits most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or detailed description provided, so you're going in blind on the visual style.

For Skyrim players who want a bone-themed armor set that's craftable and works with their favorite body mod. If you're into role-playing as a hunter or barbarian, this fits perfectly. Skip if you need detailed previews or gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic armor.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install — it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- Make sure you have the body mod (CBBE, 3BA, etc.) installed first, or the armor might not fit properly.
- Check the in-game crafting menu under the appropriate category (likely 'Leather' or 'Daedric') to find the armor pieces.
