📋 About This Mod
By request, this is a HIMBO Refit for Armor of Nocturnal by ChakraSSE.
It includes pre-built zeroed meshes and bodyslide files for customization.
While I was at it, I also did a few changes to the plugin:
The original armor pieces were mixed heavy and light (with the mask made of cloth).
I made 2 optional versions: one with all pieces light armor and the other a heavy armor version (the mask remains a clothing item, but can be tempered)
I also adjusted the footsteps for the heavy version and edited the crafting and tempering recipes for the light version (leather).
The optional Patches can be used with or without the HIMBO Refit!
The optional patches as well as the HIMBO Refit need to load after the original armor mod!
ALL CREDITS AND MANY THANKS TO
ChakraSSE for making this amazing Armor!
A HIMBO body refit for the Armor of Nocturnal, adding Bodyslide support and optional light or heavy armor patches. For Skyrim modders using the HIMBO body who want a more masculine fit for this outfit. Highly endorsed with nearly 5,000 endorsements, indicating strong community approval.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 5,000 endorsements and over 246k downloads.
- Bodyslide support means you can tweak the fit to your exact preference.
- Light and heavy armor patches give you gameplay flexibility depending on your build.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the HIMBO body mod and Bodyslide, so it's not a plug-and-play install.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're on your own for setup.
- Only refits the armor—no new textures or meshes beyond the body fit, so if you wanted a visual overhaul, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who use the HIMBO body and want their Armor of Nocturnal to fit properly without clipping. If you're into Bodyslide customization, this gives you full control over the fit. Skip if you don't use HIMBO or if you're looking for a complete armor overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have HIMBO and Bodyslide installed before adding this mod, and build the outfits in Bodyslide to avoid invisible armor.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file conflicts—this mod has multiple patch options.
- Check the mod's posts tab for user-submitted screenshots and load order advice, since the description is sparse.
