📋 About This Mod
This was originally made for Oldrim by ReflexShooter and converted/updated here for SSE body mods and with pieces split up for mix and match. I have also used xavbio's steel textures here as custom textures instead of default steel.
- Chestplate with or without chainmail
- Gauntlets
esl flagged esp. Use additemmenu, modex, or console; normal steel crafting recipes. Build with bodyslide first.
Requirements:
CBBE 3BA or BHUNPv4

It adds a mix-and-match steel armor set with separate pieces, custom xavbio textures, and an ESL-flagged ESP. Requires Bodyslide, FSMP, and Racemenu. Popular with 222 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 222 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Mix-and-match pieces give you real customization freedom—chestplate with or without chainmail is a nice touch.
- Built for modern body mods (CBBE 3BA/BHUNPv4) so it fits right in with current setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires a stack of mods (Bodyslide, FSMP, Racemenu) just to get it working—setup is not for casual players.
- You'll need to build the armor in Bodyslide first, which adds an extra step before you can even see it in-game.
- Compatibility risk: since it's tied to specific body mods and FSMP, it may conflict with other armor mods that alter the same slots or require different body setups.
For Skyrim players who love skimpy, mix-and-match armor and already run CBBE 3BA or BHUNPv4 with Bodyslide. If you're into detailed steel textures and want a set that fits your custom body, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer vanilla-style armor or don't want to fiddle with Bodyslide and extra requirements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you build the armor in Bodyslide before loading your save, otherwise the pieces will appear invisible or distorted.
- Use the console command 'help sleeks' to find the item IDs quickly, or grab AddItemMenu to spawn pieces without crafting.
- If you're using CBBE 3BA, double-check that your Bodyslide preset matches your body preset to avoid clipping.
