✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 208 endorsements and over 27k downloads
- Lightweight and simple—just a SPID distribution, no heavy scripts
- Adds lore-friendly variety to NPC equipment without overhauling the game
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SPID (Spell Perk Item Distributor) as a dependency, so you'll need to install that first
- Only affects NPC equipment distribution—no new armor models or textures, so if you want visual changes, this isn't it
- Chance-based distribution means you might not see the armor often, depending on your playthrough
For Skyrim players who want to see more Ancient Imperial gear in the world without manually placing it. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who enjoys immersive equipment variety, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for new armor meshes or gameplay changes—this is purely a distribution tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SPID installed and updated to the latest version, as this mod relies on it to distribute the items.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other SPID configs.
- Check your load order—SPID mods like this should load after any mods that modify NPCs or leveled lists.
