📋 About This Mod
""I don't abide fancy clothes, but you look like you might. I hear Radiant Raiments has a large selection."

The goal of this retexture was to improve skyrim's clothing, while keeping its original designs. I took a few artistic liberties here and there, such as making clothes worn by wealthier NPCs more colorful and making civilian/workers clothes dirtier and less colorful, for example. But overall, my goal was for people to be able to look at my retextures and still recognize the original designs. I know the term "vanilla +" can mean so many things, but this is what it means to me. Making skyrim look better while still looking like skyrim.
This is the biggest project I have ever worked on and have put hundreds of hours into it. I truly hope you will all enjoy the result
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
This mod covers all vanilla clothing (except the jester set which will be coming in an update to my dark brotherhood retexture), DLC clothing and clothing from the following CCs: Winter, Lords mail (green and yellow redguard variants), Dead man's dread and Fishing. I also included a retexture of the swords from CC dead man's dread, simply for ease of download.

You will also find a few options such as added sleeves for jarls' outfits and snow or snow-less versions of the skaal outfit.
