📋 About This Mod

I've never liked how the Ancient Nord Armor looks. The female armor is bottom-heavy, the male armor is top-heavy. The male armor has twig legs. The female armor looks almost nothing like the male armor. So I sat down and tried to make it into something I liked. This simply overwrites the male and female chest armor for Ancient Nord Armor.

There may be some clipping with the skirt. I tried to get all of it, but the original skirt wasn't very good with it either, and it had a bunch of little bugs I had to iron out once I got in close. There were a lot of holes in it that you could see straight through if you noticed them. The lower weight had triangles poking through it. God, it wasn't as much of a mess as glass, but it was a mess.

I've also added options so that you can have the green arm-warmers from the vanilla female armor, and you can also pick if you want to use the male or female gauntlets, helmets, and/or boots. I've separated out the FOMOD so you can even pick whatever option you want for each sex. It's not exactly unisex anymore that way, but hey, options ARE good.

There's a standalone option in optional files. It's just a copy of the Ancient Nord Armor that I called "Reinforced" to differentiate it from the original. It is craft-only, and it won't replace the Ancient Nord Armor itself. You can still pick whatever each sex's armor/boots/gauntlets/helmet looks like just like the main mod.

This is for non-Cathedral versions. There's a version for Cathedral in my Cathedral Misc mod. Xavbio's textures are required for the pants.
