📋 About This Mod

If you'd like to support me, you can do so on Ko-Fi

This mod adds a new set of Khajiiti style light armor inspired by The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr. I've always loved the designs of Khajiit clothing, architecture, and music in those zones, which are basically a mishmash of Asian cultures. And since there have only been 2 khajiit armor mods that I know of (there was only 1 when I started), I figured it would be a cool project to try and bring some more of Elsweyr into Skyrim.

The meshes and textures were made completely from scratch using Blender, Zbrush, Substance Painter, and Marvelous Designer. I learned a lot from this project, getting much more comfortable at Zbrush and trying out Marvelous Designer for the first time. This mod was a pain in the ass half of the time, but it's finally done.

Thank you to Enroys and adventures_of_the_dovah for playtesting and feedback, and THERESE for 3D support all the times I got stuck during this project ;_;

Some Notes:

  • []The robes work for males and females across all races, with weight slider support.

    []The gauntlets do extra damage when attacking unarmed.

    []I've spent countless hours trying to rid the torso clipping. I feel I've succeeded mostly but there may still be some minimal clipping depending on your animations or pose mods.

    []The CBBE patch just fixes the gap at the wrist when using CBBE female hand meshes

    How to Obtain:

    • []First, you must buy the Crafting Style book from one of the Khajiit caravan traders (Ri'saad, Ahkari, and Madran). The robes

      cannot be crafted until you've at least opened the book.[]Have the Glass Smithing perk unlocked, and head to a forge to craft the "armor" with the required materials

      If you take any cool screenshots with the mod, don't be afraid to add them to the page!

      Installation:

      • []Install with a mod manager or manually like any normal mod.

        []If using the CBBE hands patch, install the main mod and then install the patch after that so it overwrites.
