  Cosmetic Only

  Equipping armor pieces will visually replace vanilla armor without changing gameplay effects. Pieces have zero cost and weight. Set effects, smithing level, and enchantments on simultaneously-equipped armor still apply.

  Installing and Equipping the Mod

  Mod can be installed and enabled automatically by using a mod manager.

  Once active, armor items will appear in the console with `help protogen`. These can be added to the player's inventory with `player.additem <formid>`.

  Items can also be retrieved from a chest in Understone Keep in Markarth. To find them, enter Understone Keep and turn left. Proceed to the large cavern with the river and bridge. The two towers across the river hold three chests, each with a complete set.

  Known Issues

  Tail will only function for Khajiit and Argonian characters. Other races can still equip the armor, but not the tail pieces.

  Due to the inherent bulkiness of Protogens, the model is fitted for heavy-weight characters only. Skinny characters will have model proportions forcibly expanded, but skeletal positioning will be suboptimal. It is recommended to turn character weight to maximum for the best fit.

  `showracemenu` console command may be used to correct character customization issues.

  Modding Models

  Source .blend files are provided at Data\models\armor\protogen and a fork of io_niftools_addon is in a separate .zip for model mods via Blender. Basic parameter tweaks can be made with NifSkope.

  The forked blender addon contains fixes for exporting armor addon and world models to Skyrim SE. It does not support other types of models (but may work).

  Open <skyrim-install>\Data\models\armor\protogen and edit any of the blend files, then drag the edited file onto ExportNifs.bat. Double-clicking ExportNifs.bat without dragging a file will re-export all .blend files.

  Modding Textures

  Textures can be easily modded without Blender or NifSkope. GIMP's .dds exporter is one way to achieve this.
