⚠️ Cons
- Only for female characters, so male players get nothing
- Requires 3BA body and SMP physics, which can be a hassle to set up
- Potential conflicts with other armor mods that alter the same body slots
For Skyrim players who want a stylish, dark-themed light armor for their female characters, especially if you're already using 3BA and SMP. Skip if you're playing a male character or prefer vanilla body types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the 3BA body mod and SMP physics installed, or the armor may not look right.
