📋 About This Mod

Helloeoeleo

Do you remember when you first played The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 2011 PC Video Game and discovered that not only there was another variant of the Steel Armor set, but the gauntlets and boots of that variant were actually copies of the Imperial Bracers and Boots that did not match the Steel set as a whole?

Do you remember the confusion you first felt?

Do you remember your rage?

The outfit just didn’t match.

You had to know why they allowed it.

Your anger was too much to bear.

So you silenced the storm in your mind.

You told yourself it was alright.

For 12 long years.

It was all too much.

But it’s okay now…

…because with Finally, Non-Imperial Steel B Gauntlets and Boots for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Special Edition (FNISBGABFTESVSSE), you can now enjoy B-Variant Steel Gauntlets and Boots that now match the Steel Style rather than being copies of the Imperial Bracers and Boots (YOU GET ME). They are COMPATIBLE with your texture replacers! That’s right, COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR TEXTURE REPLACERS.

In an optional plugin, the eponymous armour pieces, along with the other B variants (Horned Helmet, Pauldroned Armour), have their day in the limelight with enchanted versions, inserted into the vanilla levelled lists.

If it also DISGUSTS YOU that both the pauldroned (ArmorSteelCuirassB) and non-pauldroned (ArmorSteelCuirassA) variants of the Steel Armour have the same stats as in vanilla, you are welcome to download the optional module that visually adds a bit more armour to the A-variant, so it looks as equally armoured as the B-variant so as to justify their equal stats.

So if you ever wanted to fill that Steel-styled Steel B-shaped hole in your The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition 2016 PC Video Game experience, now you can finally find inner calm with this mod.

TECHNICAL AND COMPATIBILITY NOTES

[]These new boots and gauntlets bracers replace the Steel Imperial Gauntlets and Steel Shin Boots (ArmorSteelGauntletsB and ArmorSteelBootsB, respectively). They both have their own Armor Addons and are beast race friendly.[/]

[]Steel Imperial Gauntlets (ArmorSteelGauntletsB) are now called Steel Bracers, while the Steel Nordic Gauntlets (ArmorSteelGauntletsA), are now just called Steel Gauntlets.[/]

[*]The gauntlets bracers and boots are amalgamations of pieces from other armour pieces in the Steel set. This is so that these new gauntlets bracers and boots are compatible with any Steel texture replacers you have i

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Fixes a visual inconsistency that bothers many players (171 endorsements)
  • Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without extra bloat
  • Works with your existing texture mods, so no conflicts there

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects two armor pieces, so it's a minor tweak overall
  • No custom textures included—relies on your texture replacers for the look
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same armor meshes
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who are bothered by the mismatched Imperial Steel gauntlets and boots and want a more unified Steel set look. It's perfect for those who already use texture replacers and just need mesh fixes. Skip if you're looking for new armor content or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a mesh replacer, make sure it loads after any mod that changes the same armor pieces to ensure it takes effect.
  • If you use a mod manager, you can preview the meshes in the mod's file tree to see exactly what's being replaced.
  • For Skyrim SE, ensure you have the latest version of the game to avoid mesh compatibility issues.
