📋 About This Mod
Cloaks of the Nords is a Cape & Cloak Replacement Mod which aims to retexture all capes and cloaks added by other mods such as Cloaks of Skyrim.
The goal is to retexture them so that the lore, quality, and style of all capes and cloaks match that of Designs of the Nords. Elements included contain previous work by
Foxia
and
KEBW1144
which were used in the Designs of the Nords banner replacement mod. This mod is not complete.
I will be updating this mod on a regular basis until completed.
So far, I have only worked on capes from Cloaks of Skyrim. For now, Worn capes are completed. I still need to retexture static capes and I have just begun work on the cloaks. Please let me know if you have questions.This mod was created with compatibility in mind. It was made for Cloaks of Skyrim as of now. You will have to make a choice on which textures you wish to overwrite from that mod. This has been tested successfully in Skyrim Special Edition, but if you seem to find an issue, please send it my way and I'll do my best to get it fixed as soon as possible.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 6,642 endorsements and over 328k downloads.
- Fills a specific niche for players who want cohesive Nordic aesthetics across their gear.
- Actively maintained—last updated May 2024, so likely compatible with recent game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires other cloak mods to work—this isn't standalone, so you'll need to install those separately.
- No shields or armor yet, despite the 'coming soon' promise—might feel incomplete if you want a full set.
- Only retextures existing cloaks, so if you don't use cloak mods, this is useless to you.
For Skyrim players who already use cloak mods and want them to match the Nordic style of Designs of the Nords. If you're a lore enthusiast or love cohesive visual overhauls, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use cloak mods or prefer standalone items.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a cloak mod installed first, like Cloaks of Skyrim or Winter Is Coming, since this only retextures existing items.
- Load this mod after your cloak mods in your mod manager to ensure the textures override correctly.
- Check the mod page for any patches if you use other texture overhauls that might conflict.
