📋 About This Mod

What exactly is this mod?

This is a collection of fixes I made to the meshes of a few of the male armor sets (just the ones that really stuck out to me). These fixes were built using USLEEP meshes as a base, but none of them are actually included in the Unofficial Patches.

This was updated and converted from the LE version, hopefully there aren't any issues (I don't have SSE installed, so I can't test it).

LE Version: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/99044

Armors Edited:

Shrouded Armor Set

- Completely reshaped the armor, boots and gloves to something that fits the vanilla male body shape properly. You probably noticed your   character gets significantly skinnier when wearing this armor, that's because the entire armor has a very odd shape (probably designed for an early version of the male body and they forgot to update it?). Sleeveless variant is included as well.

- Removed the scarf from the USLEEP mesh, but kept the belt for consistency with the female version (there's an optional version with the scarf if you prefer it that way).

- Improved weighting on the arms and legs (and the USLEEP belt as well).

Ancient Nord/Draugr Armor Set

- The body mesh used on this armor had a different shape compared to the naked body mesh and no specularity whatsoever (both on vanilla and USLEEP meshes). I removed it completely and replaced it with an edited version of the vanilla naked body mesh.

- As a result of the above, it fixes the visible hole between the body and neck.

- Fixed the weighting on the stripes that connect the chest plate to the pauldrons (they were "disconnecting" when the character turned to look at something).

- Fixed some clipping with the legs and skirt when crouching. Unfortunately the clipping on this armor is quite bad on the leg area, so you're still going to see it when walking and especially when running/sprinting.

- Removed thigh weighting on the boots, which was causing very bad deformation.

Dragonbone Armor Set

- Fixed wrong body mesh used on the armor (same issue as the Ancient Nord Set, no specularity and different shape).

- Fixed clipping all over the armor, mostly with boots, gloves and the rings on the arms, and improved the cases I couldn't fix comp

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Install with your mod manager and place it early in your load order to ensure other mods overwrite it if needed.
  • If you use a mod that changes male armor meshes, test in-game to see if this mod conflicts—you may need to load it after.
  • Since it's a mesh fix, it's safe to add mid-playthrough, but a new save is always cleaner.
