📋 About This Mod
MOD INCLUDES:
Unisex HDT-SMP (physics is enabled for skirt, bags, feathers and boot laces) standalone armor.
Armor includes:
2) Gauntlets
4) Helmet (not compatible with beast races)
Outfit is craftable and upgradable, plugin is flagged as ESL.
INSTALLATION:
Use preferred mod manager or extract the content of the archive to your Skyrim Special Edition/Data folder.
The armor can be crafted on forge, or use the console commands:
Type in console:
help raven
...find the ARMO items ID and add the outfit to inventory with console command:
player.additem <ID> 1
Or use AddItem/QUI mods.
REQUIREMENTS:
Faster HDT-SMP is required for physics to work (as far as I can see "classic" HDT-SMP plugin doesn't get updates anymore).
KNOWN ISSUES:
Physics sometimes become messy (especially when you enter new location), to fix the collisions go to first person view and back, or (recommended) use this mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 2,632 endorsements and nearly 900k downloads show this armor is a fan favorite.
- Unisex design means both male and female characters can wear it, doubling its usability.
- HDT-SMP physics add immersive cloth and armor movement that vanilla armors lack.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires HDT-SMP and its dependencies (like CBBE or bodyslide) to work properly – not a plug-and-play mod.
- Last updated in March 2023 – may have compatibility issues with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
- No detailed description of the armor's stats or crafting recipe – you'll need to find it in-game or check comments.
For Skyrim players who want a stylish, physics-enabled light armor that works for any character. If you're already using HDT-SMP and want a new look, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're not into modding physics or prefer heavy armor.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have HDT-SMP installed and properly configured – without it, the armor will appear static or cause crashes.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install – it'll handle file conflicts and load order automatically.
- If you use a body mod like CBBE, consider running Bodyslide to match the armor to your body shape.
