📋 About This Mod
Khajiiti Apex Armory got a recent update that added gorgeous new textures and mesh tweaks. However, it also changed the female armor from having a full breastplate into one that leaves most of the chest unprotected and cinches in the waist to look more a corset-induced hourglass shape than the armor of a strong caravan guard.
Here are the Apex female models, pre-2. 0:
And here are the female models as of 2. 0:
I'm personally not a fan of this choice, but I do like the overall sleeker fit (the arms are especially improved) and new textures, so I have made meshes the combine what I consider to be the best of the old mesh with the new. And then did a few more things because I'm a masochist.
awg's female models:
Tweaks made:
-
[](female) restores the full breastplate, now slightly less indented
[
](female) smooths the caved-in vertices around the lower back[](female) brings the 100 weight hips back to Vanilla proportions
[](female and 0 weight male) increases the waist width slightly
[](female) reduces the breast size (...slightly)
[](female) adds the neck cover back to the new helmet mesh. Removes the additional armor addons for Khajiit and Argonians, as they aren't necessary with this change.
[](female and male) adds a variety of vanilla cubemaps to the armors
And here is the 0 weight male armor comparison:
I will not remove/separate any of these tweaks. I am not taking requests.

This mod tweaks the Khajiiti Apex Armory female and male meshes, restoring the pre-2.0 full breastplate and reducing waist cinching while keeping the improved textures and sleeker arms. It also adds neck covers to the helmet and applies vanilla cubemaps for better visuals. A niche fix for players who prefer the original armor silhouette.
