I. Description

The name says it all.  I have converted eight of the highest downloaded armor mods from Oldrim from some of the most legendary mod authors to grace our community.  Each mod’s NIF files have been optimized.  Each mod’s ESP updated to SSE with the CK.  If conversions to SSE was all I managed to do here it might be worthy of a spot in your mod list, but I’ve gone further.  Included are my most up-to-date recolors of all these mods.  Some armor has a single new recolor and some even have two.  All the recolors are standalone armors that can be worn alongside the original mod for a great feeling of selection but also uniform roleplaying functionality.

For example, the Stormlord Armor has a Stormking version that can be worn by the Dragonborn.  Leave your followers in the standard version.  Promote your best warrior by allowing him or her to wear the Majestic Stormlord version.  Want an assassin who lurks in the woods?  Try the Forest Hermit (a Contractor recolor).  A snobby mage?  Try the Royal Mastermind.  All here for your enjoyment.

One aspect of my Oldrim mods I didn’t carry over to SSE is the replacers.  None of these recolors replace the original and as said above, the original mod still remains.

II. Requirements

Unlike my Oldrim recolors, this mod comes with ALL necessary files.  You don’t need to get anything else, with the single exception of Immersive Armors if you want to use the Stormlord Recolors.  You can pick and choose which mods to install and you don’t need to install all eight.
