📋 About This Mod

New Legion Redux

Adds a somewhat lore-friendly improvement for every Imperial Armor in the game and a new Gladius look for the Imperial Sword to keep it consistent.

This is a minimalistic, vanilla friendly replacer version of NordwarUAs New Legion mod, if you want more variants and extra features use the original mod.

Compatible with Survival Mode since it's vanilla just with improved looks, 1. 5. 97 & 1. 6+ both supported, and it works with any NPC overhaul and Civil War Quest overhaul.

Loading screens still use the vanilla armor, until I make a fix I recommend Starlit Lakes Loading Screens.

Standalones:

Imperial Scout Armor

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a replacer, make sure to load it after other mods that modify Legion armor to ensure it takes effect.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily install and manage this mod, and to avoid overwriting issues.
  • If you're playing with Skyrim Special Edition, check that the mod version matches your game version to avoid crashes.
