📋 About This Mod
Hello! I started on a small project to retexture Kaidan's armor back in 2021. After about 5 years, I decided to revisit this project and start over from scratch.
- Covers Kaidan's primary armor, along with the available variants (ie. Tiger, Dragon, and Wolf decals).
- Covers Kaidan's primary weapons (ie. Nodachi and War Bow).
- Available in two texture resolutions: Quality (4K-2K) and Performance (2K-1K).
- Available in two editions: One for Kaidan 2 and one for Kaidan Revoiced - Community Expansion (KRCE).
- Includes BOTH masculine and feminine texture variations. There may be some slight decal stretching on the fem variants.
NOTE - In version 3. 0. 0 (current), the old upscaled misc clutter and minor clothing items were discarded from the project.
Requirements
Kaidan 2 OR Kaidan Revoiced - Community Expansion (KRCE) (ONE OR THE OTHER, NOT BOTH).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 858 endorsements—clearly a hit among Kaidan fans.
- Covers both armor and weapons, so you get a complete visual overhaul in one mod.
- Actively updated as of February 2026, so it's likely compatible with current versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Kaidan's gear—if you wanted changes to his face or hair, this isn't it.
- Requires the original Kaidan mods (Kaidan 2 or Kaidan Revoiced) to be installed, which isn't explicitly stated but implied.
- No before/after screenshots in the description, so you're flying blind on the visual quality.
For Skyrim players who use Kaidan 2 or Kaidan Revoiced and want his armor and weapons to look sharper and more detailed. Skip if you're not using those mods or if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Kaidan 2 or Kaidan Revoiced installed first, as this retexture replaces their armor and weapons.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check the mod's posts tab for any compatibility notes with other retextures or body mods.
