📋 About This Mod
I'm not the creator of the mod, I only ported it to work with Skyrim SE. The mod was ported as is. I didn't make any changes to it.
The files are optimized with SSE Nif Optimizer and SSE Creation Kit.
Original mod description:
Retexture:
Textures and meshes meant to replace vanilla armor and weapon.
Meshes for armor supporting changing weight of the body in character creation menu (male and female).
Meshes slightly tweaked: on male/female cuirass, deleted hooks.
no_glow set contains a bit modified textures for armor and helmet (black plate on horns).
Standalone:
Royal Daedric Standalone 2. 7a:
Contains all 3 sets of the armor and weapons (blood_glow, default_glow and without glow).
Also contain Male/Female lite cuirass, gloves and boots.
Also contain 2 helmets Royal Daedric Plate and Royal Daedric Horned. Made on the basis of Dragonbone / Yngol helmets. Check screenshots.
Can be forged on the skyforge only.
Daedra Huntress Armor:
Female only!
New set of armor (cuirass/gloves/boots) same style. Fully reworked meshes and textures. Light armor class. Check screenshots.
Can be forged on any forge but only at night (just like in CCO).
F. A. Q.:
Is this compatible with Improved Closefaced Helmets?
- No. Using both mods in combination makes the helmet invisible.
