📋 About This Mod
What does this patch cover?
This patch introduces the various armors introduced in Armors of the Velothi Pt. I, distributing to a number of named NPCs as well as Bandits and other characters.
Due to being a SPID patch/adaptation, it avoids a need for compatibility patches.
If you have any suggestions (such as characters to distribute to / not distribute to) or run into any issues, please let me know.
RMB SPIDified - Armors of the Veloth Pt II is recommended as a complementary patch, due to a lack of overlap in distribution!

[] How can I keep distribution to named NPCs only?
This patch adapts Armors of the Velothi Pt 1 to use SPID, distributing the armors and robes to various Dunmer NPCs and Bandits, favoring Dunmer and Solstheim Bandits. It's a compatibility-focused mod for players who want those armors to appear naturally in the world.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (408k) means this patch is trusted by the community.
- Makes the armors appear on NPCs naturally, which is exactly what SPID is for.
- Favoring Dunmer and Solstheim Bandits fits the lore and makes sense for the armor style.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 772 endorsements compared to downloads—some players may not bother to endorse, but it's still a solid ratio.
- Requires both Armors of the Velothi Pt 1 and SPID, so you need to install those first.
For Skyrim players who use Armors of the Velothi Pt 1 and want those armors to show up on NPCs without manual placement. If you're into immersion and lore-friendly distribution, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use SPID or prefer to keep armors player-only.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SPID and Armors of the Velothi Pt 1 installed before adding this patch, and load it after both.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the installation and load order automatically.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check that SPID is compatible with your game version (it usually is).
