📋 About This Mod
Nocturnal Archmage's Robes by Storm
hand
----------------------------
NEW VERSION 2. 0!
Includes an optional Hood with Hair (I'm still working on color variety, only choice for now is blond) - courtesy by zzjay, who generously provided the meshes and textures.
I also edited robe's sleeves so it can look more natural (vanilla's is just way to much)...
3BA Bodyslides included in version 2. 0! - make sure you run Bodyslide and select Nocturnal Archmage's Robe 3BA by Stormhand when generating meshes.
----------------------------
This mod replaces vanilla's Arch-Mage Robe with Nocturnal's Robe. It also splits the robe in two pieces, one which is the actual robe, and the hood, with extra stats. The boots are also replaced by Telvanni's Shoes, for best matching the robes.
Besides, it also increases vanilla's stats for a more powerful, but still balanced set.
-------------------------------
Optional Hood with Hair and Alternate Hood Texture (Snow-Blue) - courtesy by zzjay!
These are the new increased stats:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 207 endorsements and over 8k downloads
- Buffed stats make the Arch-Mage set actually worth wearing for endgame mages
- 3BA Bodyslide support means it fits your body mod setup without clipping
⚠️ Cons
- Only one hair color for the hood (blond) limits customization options
- Replaces vanilla Arch-Mage Robe, so if you use other mods that alter that item, you'll get conflicts
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or newer mods
For Skyrim mage players who want a more stylish and powerful Arch-Mage set without breaking balance. If you're into body mods like 3BA, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or vanilla-equivalent gear.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use 3BA, run Bodyslide and select 'Nocturnal Archmage's Robe 3BA' to generate the meshes, or the robe will use the default shape.
- The hood is optional; if you don't want it, just don't install that file, but note the robe's stats are balanced with the hood in mind.
- Since this replaces the vanilla Arch-Mage Robe, make sure to grab the item from the Arch-Mage's quarters after the College questline, or use console commands to add it.
