Distinct Elven Armor Variants - aMidianborn and Truly Light Elven Armor

This is a modder's resource to add distinct appearances for the elven armor variants: Light, Normal, and Gilded. The included guide uses aMidianBorn Elven Armor textures for all three variants, and Truly Light Elven Armor meshes for the light variant. Shown from left to right in the screenshot: Elven Light Armor set, Elven Armor set, and Elven Gilded Armor set.

You will get the following results using my guide:

Elven Light Armor

• []The Elven Light Armor set found on Thalmor soldiers will have a new appearance, using Truly Light Elven Armor meshes and aMidianBorn Elven Dark textures.

  []Forge crafting recipes are added for each of the pieces.

  []The armor stats are consistent with WACCF.

  Elven Armor

  • []The Elven Armor set found found throughout the game will have a new appearance, using the vanilla meshes and aMidianBorn Elven Dark textures.

    Elven Gilded Armor

    • []The Elven Gilded Armor (cuirass) found in the vanilla game has been expanded into a whole armor set, including a shield.

      []The Elven Gilded Armor set will have a new appearance, using the vanilla meshes and aMidianBorn Elven Gold textures. The texture set also uses the bronze cubemap to give the armor an extra lustrous appearance.

      []Forge crafting recipes are added for each of the pieces.

      []The new armor pieces that comprise the Gilded armor set are included in leveled lists, following the same progression of the vanilla cuirass.

      []Thalmor Gilded armor outfits will be filled out with the new armor pieces.

      []The armor stats are consistent with WACCF, but armor rating has been redistributed across all of the pieces in the set.

      This guide will assume that you are using Mod Organizer 2. If you are using a different mod manager, it will be up to you to figure out how to adapt the guide for it.

      While this guide does not require you to use WACCF, this author recommends you use it, since the armor stats were made consistent with it.
