📋 About This Mod
Frankly HD Shrouded Armor and Weapons
What is the music of life?
Silence, my brother.
High resolution (4k and 2k available) retexture of Shrouded armor. Made following the color scheme of the original, an alternative dark-purple color scheme close to it's Oblivion counterpart is also available.
The design of the back of the male armor has been improved incorporating some details from the female set to not feel as empty and unfinished as vanilla.
Vanilla normal maps were upscaled with a neural network software leading to much crisper and clearer details than one normally gets with upscaling on traditional image editing software.
Meshes have not been touched, it is therefore compatible with every mesh replacer.
Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch is recommended since it restores some elements of male armor that were cut in vanilla, for example, the belt that can be seen in female.
