📋 About This Mod
I'm still new to SPID and this isn't thoroughly tested but it is recognized by SPID and SKSE in game. I wrote the . DISTR.ini to suit my preferences but the file is easily editable. It is currently written to appear sparsley in game.

If you come across any issues or need basic help in editing the . DISTR.ini to your liking, go ahead and post it.
1. If it gets too advanced, I'd recommend you head over to the SPID modpage itself and read through the wealth of resources there.
2. If there is an issue with the armor or weapons themselves, send it over to the Ferrum Nibenis modpage.
