📋 About This Mod

Many thanks to the team behind Beyond Skyrim - Bruma, NordwarUA, StarPlatinumTheWorld, MrDave, JDJ3, billyro, alduin78, Tathrin, Eferas, volvaga0, sa547, InsanitySorrow and LeifUlfsson!

The main idea behind this mod was the fact that NordwarUA's Minor Factions Armor and Unplayable Faction Armors as well as NordwarUA's Vanilla Armor Replacers and his own Realistic Armor mod have a considerable overlap between their armor sets (also between Authentic Legion and New Legion), which imo would have made an integration into Skyrim a tad too cluttered and stuffed.

So, I thought I just take a fitting assortment of those that I normally would have overwritten by their "better" counterparts (as well as the smaller standalone armor sets by NordwarUA), bundle them up and integrate them as new armor sets into the Bruma worldspace from Beyond Skyrim - Bruma, alongside some fine armor & weapon replacers and additions from other very talented modders.

The aim of this mod is not to be 100% lore friendly. I wanted to build upon the high quality and not-over-the-top feel NordwarUA's armors deliver, while also staying true to the combination of Nordic & Cyrodiilic nature of Bruma as possible with this. If something irks you and throws you off, tell me. I tried to find the best way to integrate those many different sets, but I am no hardened modder veteran. If you see mistakes or unnecessary complicated edits, please tell me.

To get the best quality (my opinion) out of all the individual NordwarUA's collection mods, my preferred load order is:

- Guards Armor Replacer

- NordwarUA's Vanilla Armor Replacer

- New Legion

- NordwarUA's Race Armor Expansion

- Realistic Armor

- Unplayable Faction Armors

- Bruma Armor Expansion
