📋 About This Mod
This Mod affects:
-The Complete set of Steel Armor Variant
-Steel Shield
-This supports all races' mesh and works for both genders.
Take note that the effects are much more visible in actual gameplay than what you can see in the provided screenshots.
This mod only tweaks the steel armor MESHES, I didn't change anything from CaBaL's Textures but I will still provide an optional file that includes the Steel Armor textures that are seen from the Screenshots.
NOTICE: If you are already using a custom Texture for Steel Armor Set, I recommend that you download the 'main file' which is the MESH ONLY VERSION.
INSTALLATION:
Method 1: You can do it manually by putting the files inside your 'Data' Folder
Method 2: You can use your Mod Manager to do it for you
COMPATIBILITY:
-Not compatible with any mods that touches the Steel Armor meshes
-These Nif files are also optimized with Nif Optimizer to prevent random crashes
I highly recommended to use this with aMidianBorn Book of Silence ARMORS.
