📋 About This Mod
Frankly HD Thieves Guild Armors
"Our access to those bits of luck is what separates us from common bandits."
High resolution (4k and 2k available) retexture of Thieves Guild's armor. Includes all variants of the armor: standard, Guild Master, Linwe's/Blackguard and Karliah's. Some changes have been made to the armors following the original concept art, like the white fabric on the arms of the main armor instead of leather. Also, some extra detailing has been done in the Guild Master variant to make it stand out more.
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. Then the textures were crafted on that framework.
Compatible with all mesh replacers.
