๐Ÿ“‹ About This Mod

Simple vanilla steel cuirass replacer.

๏ปฟ๏ปฟSteel Light Armor Reimagined - CBBE 3BA

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ A replacer for the vanilla Light Steel Cuirass (the version without pauldrons). Lore friendly if you consider the TES: Arena game art to be canon. Does not include boots or gloves (vanilla is enough, see screenshots). The full steel cuirass with pauldrons is unaffected, so you can have both flavors in your game at once.

โœ”๏ธย Fully compatible with vanilla retextures such as Steel Armor and Weapons Retextureย (which is being used in the screenshots). The armor will automatically use whatever retexture you have installed as long as it respects vanilla texture paths.

โš ๏ธ You will need to build the meshes in BodySlide!ย You can find it by filtering for "Light Steel Reimagined Cuirass 3BA" in the search bar.ย Please use the custom sliders and zaps to your taste. If you want the same body as the screenshots then you can use my preset๏ปฟ.

๐Ÿ’กย The armor only takes slot 32, so you can combine it with piecesย from other modsย like skirts, shorts, and tassets.

๐Ÿงย The standalone download includes both Light and Heavy versions of the armor. Search for "Nimble Steel Armor" in the smithing menu.

Requirements

BodySlide๏ปฟ to build the meshes in your chosen preset

Credits

This is a vanilla mashup that contains a belt mesh by Nisetanaka and a modified underwear mesh from Ralfetas.

This mod was inspired by a generated concept I saw on the Nexus media page, but it's since been deleted.

Permissions

If you convert this to another body type, please send me the files so I can add them to the download page for the user's convenience. If you want to patch this mod, better to make it a user requirement rather than bundling it.
