📋 About This Mod
You MAY NOT use my mods in paywalled modlists. Already I've seen some 'modlist authors' doing this and I strictly do not condone this. Modlists and load orders should not be hidden behind patreon subscriptions.
Special thanks to Karasumi for the screen archery and for helping me with the conversions.
This armour was a pain in my arse to convert because of the intricate details so please be patient if there are clipping or warping issues. Larger breast sliders will break the morphs, so be aware of this when using your personal presets.
Requires the original mod and Faster HDT-SMP. Not compatible with mods that replace the .nifs. Not sure if beasts are compatible.
Rihad Swordsman 3BA is a complete conversion of Pulcharmsolis' redguard-themed armour mod to 3BA HDT-SMP, making it compatible with the popular 3BA body mod. With over 5,000 endorsements and 238,000 downloads, it's a well-received choice for Skyrim players who want lore-friendly Redguard armour with physics-enabled jiggle.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with over 5,000 endorsements and 238k downloads—this is a proven mod.
- Brings the classic Redguard armour to the modern 3BA body, so your character looks great with physics.
- Regularly updated (June 2024), so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires 3BA and HDT-SMP to work—if you don't have those, this mod is useless.
- Only covers the armour from the original mod—no new content, just a compatibility patch.
For Skyrim players who love the Redguard aesthetic and use the 3BA body mod with HDT-SMP physics. If you're already running 3BA and want your armour to have that jiggle, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use 3BA or prefer vanilla body types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have 3BA and HDT-SMP installed and working before adding this mod—otherwise the armour won't show correctly.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install, and place this mod after the original armour mod in your load order.
- If you're new to 3BA, run Bodyslide to build the armour meshes to your preferred body shape.
