📋 About This Mod
This Mod is a darker version of an already existing mod called Glorious Daedric ReTex but i only change the armor. NOT Weapons from that mod.
I send a PM to the Glorious Daedric ReTex Mod author but i can't get an answer since weeks but in his mod page says "Users can now use/modify do what ever they want with my textures as long as given the proper credits (:" (See pic in gallery) so I decide to publish this modification of his armor textures with his credits of course.
- The Mod is stand alone.
- The Mod replaces Daedric vanilla armor textures only.
- Just drag and drop to your Skyrim SE instalation folder.
- Just delete all files related to the mod.
Tools Used:
- Paint Shop Pro 7 by Jasc Software.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 966 endorsements and nearly 25k downloads
- Gives Daedric armor a darker, more menacing look without touching weapons
- Simple cosmetic change that's easy to install and use
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Glorious Daedric ReTex mod, so you need to install both
- Only affects armor, so if you wanted matching weapons you're out of luck
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not be compatible with newer Skyrim versions or mods
For Skyrim players who already use Glorious Daedric ReTex and want a darker take on the armor. If you're a fan of edgy, dark aesthetics for your Daedric gear, this is a quick win. Skip if you want weapon retextures or a standalone mod without dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Glorious Daedric ReTex installed first, as this mod builds on it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your texture mods organized and avoid overwriting issues.
- Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after the original retexture to apply the darker version.
