📋 About This Mod
Update: Fixed skinning in the cowl! Much better skinning
6-3dZcGlH-U
new armorset for you guys to enjoy. Easily my most detailed amor yet and the sword is very much inspired by late 16th century Greatsword. I even called it a spadone (the itallian name for greatsword). Works for both male and female.
Male has weight sliding and female one size in the middle.
Craftable under steel and requires advanced armors perk to improve(like steel plate)
When improving weapons and armor no additional materials are required. (you wouldn't do this in real life)
Armor is eqeal to ebony and weapon is better than daedric and faster and better reach. Not hugely op but it's functionally much better designed than high end swords it's a little better statistically.
You can also use console commands obviously if you don't want to craft them.
Cowl (hood and cape)
Spadone(greatsword)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (4,243 endorsements)
- Massive download count (902,600) shows real demand
- Custom meshes mean a unique look, not a retexture
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — might not work with the latest Skyrim patches
- No install instructions or requirements listed, so you're on your own
- Only one armor and one weapon set — not a huge content drop
For Skyrim players who want a fresh, dark armor set to stand out without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist collecting every armor mod, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a custom mesh mod, make sure you have SKSE and Skyrim Script Extender installed if required by other mods, but this one likely just needs manual placement.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid overwriting vanilla armor files.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for any user-reported compatibility patches with popular overhauls.
