📋 About This Mod
You might have used the previous version of this mod. Here's what I did for the sequel:
-
[]Reworked the textures, now the armor pieces should match better.
[
]Added sheen to the metallic parts. The original version was pretty much completely matte.[]Introduced shell textures (AKA fur shader, as seen in mods such as Fur Shader Armors)
[]Replaced mask from the original mod with a new more exciting headdress.
[]Changed some parts of the cuirass from the waist down. The pants and tassets are now different (hopefully for the better!).
[]Added HDT cloth physics to the skirt, cape, and even the wolf ears on the headdress!
[]Created two new variations of the cuirass with a metal plate that covers the boob window! Also changed up older ones. Check out the screenshots!
[]All cuirass variations are now available to both sexes! Your burly warrior can now walk around with his chest hair peeking out through the boob window! Yay!
[]Male version is a bit sleeker now.
[]Beast races are now fully supported!
[]Added knee and elbow protection to boots and gauntlets to make them more distinct from the vanilla wolf armor pieces and spice things up.
[]Included a crafting recipe for an unenchanted cuirass.
[]Adjusted the stats a bit, armor rating is now glass tier, added Survival_Warm keywords.
[]A lot more little things, like ground models and such.
Bodyslide files for CBBE 3BA and HIMBO bodies are included in the main file, type "Savior's Hide Replacer" in the search bar.
I included some zap sliders, you can disable fur shells for all the armor pieces and knee/elbow protection for boots and gauntlets if you wish.
Textures are either 4K or 2K, select whichever option you prefer in the FOMOD!
To obtain the full set, you'll need to:
Replacer ver.:
1. Have the Savior's Hide in your inventory.
2. Visit any forge.
3. Craft the gauntlets, boots, and headdress. No perks required. You'll need ebony ingots, leather, wolf hides, and two garnets for the headdress.
I'd love to add an option to receive the full set after completing Ill Met by Moonlight, similar to how you receive Savior's Hide itself. However, I'm not sure how to do this. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!
Standalone ver.:
1. Have Ebony Smithing perk
2. Visit any forge.
3. Find "Moonlit" cuirass, gauntlets, boots and headdress and craft them.
- Faster HDT-SMP if you want realistic cloth physics, otherwise download NoSMP version in Optional Files.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the replacer/standalone choice to avoid overwriting issues.
- Make sure you have the required body mods installed before activating this mod, or the armor may appear invisible or cause crashes.
- For HDT-SMP physics, ensure you have the latest version and that your system can handle the extra load; consider disabling physics if you experience lag.
