📋 About This Mod
ZMeyPofAM1Y
Project 7 is a series where I go through all vanilla armor/weapon sets and rework them to my personal taste.
This mod not only retextures the vanilla nordic carved armor set, but fully reworks it.
The entire model is now higher poly, and completely reskinned, in order to avoid blocky details and give more natural movements.
I loved the vanilla nordic carved armor, and I get what is was going for - a heavy, bulky armor set for warriors to survive in a harsh climate.
I didn't want to change it too drastically, mostly slight tweaks to make the armor more appealing to my experience.
