📋 About This Mod
NordwarUA's most recent armor replacer, without the accompanying weapons!
I love NordwarUA's amazing work with realistic armors, and their most recent armor replacer mod is the best to date in my mind! That said, I wasn't a huge fan of the weapons (just my personal preference, they have beautiful models and textures!), and I saw a couple comments asking for an armor only version, and I figured I'd upload it!
NOTES:
- This is the Replacer version of the mod, NOT the standalone mod. I made this for myself, but I will make a standalone armor only version as well, unless someone beats me to it! - There are now options for the standalone version AND the replacer version! Standalone has not been tested yet, so please let me know if it doesn't work as intended and I will see what I can do!
- Will more than likely have the same issue myself and others have had where some vanilla armors load alongside the replacer. I will be working on a patch for this as well! THIS PATCH IS LIVE! It hasn't been extensively tested but should work fine, the .esp replaces the meshes and textures of the iron helmet and steel armors (the only ones I've had pop up) with Nordwar's custom ones, it's a very rough way to fix the issue but was simple to implement. I might look at simply removing the vanilla armors later, we'll see.
- An armor replacer for Nordwar's Heavy Nordic Armor is coming to swap out the vanilla Steel Plate Armor is live as well! I may look at replacing another armor with their Scale Nord Armor mod, we'll see!
NordwarUA's permissions allow modifications to this mod as long as credit is given, so PLEASE go check out the amazing work they've put up, and thank you NordwarUA for all the amazing work you've done!
IF I HAVE MISINTERPRETED THE PERMISSIONS, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL REMOVE THIS IMMEDIATELY
