📋 About This Mod
DeserterX's Spartan Bard Outfit, refitted for male characters with HIMBO body.
-
[]I turned the transparent dress into a half-sleeves on the arms.
[
]I made a Greco-Roman gladiator kilt for a more coverage (the skimpy version does not have this for, well, less coverage)[]Remade the heels into gladiator-sandals.
[]Removed invisible, transparent meshes from...almost everything; circlet, dress, chains, etc.
[]Made it compatible with clawed beast races' hands by adding a second ArmorAddon records tied to the bracers' Armor records.
[]BBB (Butt-Belly-Breast) Bounce Physics version available as of version 3. 0, in BodySlide marked with "BBB Phys" suffix. Requires HDT-SMP. Prebuilt meshes also requires HDT-SMP. If you don't want to use physics, please rebuild in BodySlide.
[]You can find the the outfits in Bodyslide with the filter group "HIMBO DX - Spartan Bard" for the static version and "HIMBO DX - Spartan Bard (BBB Physics)" for the physics version.
[]Made this for Daenlyn Oakhollow but then I realized he has high skill in Light Armor instead, welp.
[]The mod only contain Bodyslide files for HIMBO body and its generated meshes. No textures nor female meshes included; which means you still need the original mod.
[]The patch references the original, unedited, un-eslified DeserterX's plugin as Master. There are far too many versions of his plugins derivations for me to make patches for.
If you are using other derivations of DeserterX's mod that made changes to the original plugin (or not using the plugin at all), my refits will not work.
However, adding my male refit meshes into any of them are easy (though quite tedious). I made a quick xEdit tutorial to do this.
You need to do this on all of the relevant ArmorAddon entries that I included.
*For this armor in particular, make sure you drag the alternate textures records as well to get the transparency on the sleeves.
