📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a light armour leather set for both males and female actors, then - optionally via SPID and SkyPatcher, randomly distributes it to NPCs and merchants.
Technically, this is a porting to Skyrim of the beautiful Dark Swift Warrior model by fjaa3d.
Distribution via SPID and SkyPatcher is optional, and it applies randomly through nested leveled lists to actors of the Bandits faction. The pieces are pushed to the lists of blacksmiths and merchants as well. You can select these distributions in the FOMOD installer.
What I have done is:
-
[]porting of the Genesis 9 models from DAZ to Skyrim SE/AE
[
]conversion and retouching of the textures[]SMP
[]plugin marked as Light
[]SPID and SkyPatcher ini files
[]the outfit is multi-part and craftable
[]the female one also has a skimpy version with tweaked pieces to better adapt to the body curves
Credits for the original models go to fjaa3d. This model was entirely created by them. I've got all the required licenses (both the standard and interactive). As such, you cannot directly use the textures and you must have users download this mod if you wish to convert all or some pieces to different bodies: please keep this in mind and check the permissions section (unless, of course, you got the interactive/extended licenses yourself as well).

FAQ
Oo.Q: do I have to install both BHUNP and HIMBO files?
A: No. You will be able in the installer to choose if you want both BHUNP and HIMBO files or only one of the supplied sets. Distributed sets will keep this in mind, so if you only install HIMBO, only male actors will be able to randomly rece

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 183 endorsements and over 6,700 downloads
- Recently updated (October 2025) so it's likely compatible with current setups
- Covers both genders, which is rare for skimpy armour mods
⚠️ Cons
- Female version is skimpy by design—not for players wanting realistic coverage
- Requires BHUNPv4 and HIMBOv5 body mods, so it's not a plug-and-play for vanilla bodies
- Potential conflicts with other armour mods that alter the same slots or body meshes
For Skyrim players who use BHUNP or HIMBO body mods and want a stylish, customizable light armour set with a skimpy female option. If you prefer lore-friendly or fully covering armour, this isn't for you. It's purely cosmetic, so skip if you're after gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the correct body mods installed (BHUNPv4 for females, HIMBOv5 for males) or the armour won't fit properly.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the multi-part files and avoid overwriting other armour mods.
- Check the in-game armour slots to see if any other mods are using the same slots, and adjust with Bodyslide or Outfit Studio if needed.
