📋 About This Mod
- This mod allows you to craft unenchanted versions of the shrouded armor, brown Thieves Guild armor, and grey Thieves Guild armor. Now you can create your own versions and enchant them how you choose. (Tempering recipes also included, of course.)
- The shrouded armor unlocks after the main Dark Brotherhood quest "With Friends Like These..."
- The brown Thieves Guild set unlocks after the main Thieves Guild quest "Taking Care of Business."
- The grey Thieves Guild set unlocks after the Thieves Guild side quest "Summerset Shadows."
- I did not include the shrouded robes, Guild Master set, or the Nightingale set on purpose. I don't use clothing on my mages, and the other two sets are a little too special to be able to craft.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 425 endorsements and over 8,400 downloads
- Lets you enchant your favorite faction armor without the pre-set enchantments
- Works with almost anything since it only adds crafting recipes
⚠️ Cons
- Only for Skyrim Special Edition, not the original Skyrim
- Doesn't include the shrouded robes, Guild Master set, or Nightingale set, which might disappoint some players
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not be tested with the latest game patches
For Skyrim players who want to wear the iconic Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood armor with their own enchantments. If you're tired of the default enchantments and want more control over your gear, this is for you. Skip if you're on the original Skyrim or if you want to craft the more powerful sets like Nightingale.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage the mod easily.
- Make sure you complete the required quests before trying to craft the armor, or the recipes won't show up.
- If you're using a mod that changes the armor models, like Frankly HD Shrouded Armor, the crafted versions will still look great.
