📋 About This Mod
Gives NPCs a chance to wear one of the three armors from Ferrum Nibenis and have the weapons via SPID and CID
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Niben Battlemage
Imperial Warlocks - 10% chance
Forsworn - 1% chance
Imperial Bandits - 10% chance

Weapons to Imperial Warlocks, Imperial Bandits, and the Forsworn - 1% chance
Armor and Weapons to Vendors - 5% to 25% chance
Optional download for Argonian Bandits is also available as I believe the armors fit Argonians very well. 10% chance for all three armor sets to Argonian Bandits, and weapons a 1% chance.
This mod integrates the three armors and weapons from Ferrum Nibenis into Skyrim's NPC loot and equipment system using SPID and CID, giving NPCs a chance to wear them. It's a lightweight distribution add-on for players who already use Ferrum Nibenis and want to see its gear in the world. With 114 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional enhancement.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 114 endorsements and 28,892 downloads, showing it works for many.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat.
- Recent update (Feb 2025) means it's actively maintained.
- Uses standard distribution frameworks (SPID/CID), so it's likely compatible with other mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base Ferrum Nibenis mod, so it's useless without it.
- No detailed description of which NPCs or how often gear appears, so you might need to tweak settings.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that modify NPC equipment lists, though SPID/CID reduces risk.
For Skyrim players who already use Ferrum Nibenis and want to see its armors and weapons in the hands of NPCs without manual distribution. If you're not using Ferrum Nibenis, this mod is pointless. Skip if you want new gear—this only distributes existing items.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of SPID and CID installed, as this mod relies on them.
- Load this mod after Ferrum Nibenis in your load order to ensure the armors are recognized.
- If you want to adjust the chance of NPCs wearing the gear, edit the SPID INI files included with the mod.
