📋 About This Mod

Silver Hand Armored

LE VERSION

Silver Hand Armored is a simple outfit modification mod for the Silver Hand. All the faction members now wear Steel Plate Armor. The goal is to transform the Silver Hand in a true warrior faction and set it apart from bands of bandit.

Mantle of the Silver Hand and Immersive Armors

Be careful. Their leader is a tricky one. They call him 'the Skinner'. I don't think I need to tell you why.

Patches for Mantle of the Silver Hand and Immersive Armors by Hothtrooper44 are provided. Both makes Krev the Skinner (and other Silver Hand "bosses") wears the Mantle of the Silver Hand. Additionally, the Immersive Armors patch makes sure IA does no overwrite the outfit changes. Both patch requires the original mod. Please note that you need to properly port Mantle of the Silver Hand (converting plugin to form 44 and optimizing the NIF files) in order to make it work on Special Edition. You could also simply port the ESP to form 44 and copy the meshes and textures from Immersive Armors; doing so you will have proper meshes and the ground model introduced by IA (the ground model of the Oldrim version is just a werewolf head).

Have you tried to shoot a werewolf with a crossbow?

Some people prefer to hunt werewolf with crossbows, an additional plugin is provided for them.
