This is my first serious attempt a 'creating a functional mod' that contributes to the community.

I believe that this mod was originally uploaded for Oblivion.  I cannot find the original source; however, the two links below are where I sourced the files before conversion.  I've been wanting to use this with a newer build for years now.  I have finally been modding long enough, with stable load orders, to throw my hat in the ring and give it a go.  By no means am I an expert and only know a little coding.  I watch tutorials as needed to figure stuff out, so if anyone has any tips or tricks, please feel free to message me.  If you know the original authors, or know how to contact them, please let me know.  If you are the original author and wish not to share this, I will remove this immediately.

I am learning how to add HDT-SMP physics to fabric and will be uploading an update for the skirt.  It looks simple enough, just very time consuming to manually program the bones and weight behaviors.

Notably the mod CBPC - Physics with Collisions for SSE CBPC - Physics with Collisions for SSE and VR at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com) this mod seems to work great together.  A little jiggle up top never hurt anyone.  Since the top is so exposed, perhaps I can figure out how to keep the wobble while keeping the armor stiff.

First off I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OR ARTIST.  Below are the links to the original OLDRIM files:

Main File:         McgDaedricFemaleArmorReplacer-SSE                   Requires CBBE and Bodyslide to function, I think.  Let me know if you get it to work                              with body mods or none at all.

Supplimental:  Daedric Light Armor Conversion           Simply changes the armor type to light - does not change weight values.

FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP at Skyrim Special Edi

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A visual overhaul for Daedric Armor in Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition, featuring HD cubemaps, HD skins, and a light armor conversion that preserves the original weight. With 83 endorsements and 19,189 downloads, it's a niche but popular cosmetic choice for players seeking a more detailed Daedric set.

✨ Key Features

Replaces the Daedric Armor with HD cubemaps for improved reflections.
Includes HD skins for a more detailed texture appearance.
Adds a light armor conversion that does not change the armor's weight.
Compatible with Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition.
Last updated in March 2023, indicating recent maintenance.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (19k downloads, 83 endorsements) shows it's getting used.
  • HD cubemaps and skins give the Daedric set a fresh, high-res look without changing gameplay.
  • Light armor conversion is a nice touch for players who want the Daedric aesthetic on a lighter build.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 83 endorsements means it's not a community favorite—might have hidden issues or just niche appeal.
  • No mention of compatibility with other armor mods, so it could conflict with texture overhauls.
  • The 'does not change weight' detail is odd—light armor conversion usually implies weight change, so double-check in-game.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a sharper, more detailed Daedric armor set without altering its stats. If you're a completionist collecting all armor variants, this is a quick visual upgrade. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a replacer, make sure it loads after any other armor texture mods in your load order to avoid conflicts.
  • If you're using a mod manager, preview the textures in the mod's file tree before installing to see the changes.
  • For AE users, verify that the mod is compatible with your game version—it was updated in 2023, so it should be fine, but always check.
