📋 About This Mod
Description
The Thalmors are a fierce and conquering race, but they dont have much variation of armors, so i've changed that. ESLFied version.
This mod distributes elven sets between npcs of the thalmor faction, like thalmors justiciars and such, but can be configured to add to any other NPC, Faction, Gender etc. Highly configurable due to Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) integration, no records edited.
You don't need all mods for the distribution, just disable/exclude the SPID esp of the set/armor you don't want.

[]Light armors for ranged/scouts/wizards;

[]Form'ed 44 the plugins;
[]ESLfied the normal esp plugins.

Notes
If using ESO Altmer module, i've removed the worldspace edits thus the chest containing the set, but now you can craft them by having "Arcane Blacksmith" perk + "Elven Smithing" perk.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 95 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- ESLFied means it won't eat your plugin limit—great for mod-heavy load orders.
- SPID-based distribution is lightweight and avoids permanent NPC edits, so it's clean to install and remove.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 95 endorsements despite high downloads—some users may not be fully satisfied or it's just a niche audience.
- Requires SPID as a dependency, so you'll need to install that separately.
- As a cosmetic mod, it doesn't add new gameplay—if you're after Thalmor quests or mechanics, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who want Thalmor patrols and Justiciars to look more varied and lore-friendly without overhauling the whole game. If you're a mod collector who loves SPID-based distribution and configurable tweaks, this is a must-try. Skip if you're not interested in cosmetic NPC changes or don't want to bother with SPID.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SPID installed and up to date, as this mod relies on it to distribute armors.
- Use the config file to tweak which NPCs get the armors—you can exclude specific factions or actors if you want.
- Since it's ESLFied, you can safely add it to a large load order without worrying about plugin slots.
