📋 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.
Unisex Ancient Nord Armor merges the two Ancient Nord Armor variants into one, incorporating Xavbio pants and unisex fixes. With 174 endorsements and 40,376 downloads, it's a niche cosmetic mod for Skyrim players seeking a unified, gender-neutral armor option. Last updated June 2023.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 174 endorsements and over 40k downloads.

⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who want a single, unified Ancient Nord Armor that looks good on both male and female characters. If you're tired of the gender-locked variants and want a clean merge with Xavbio's pants, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay tweaks or if you prefer the original separate variants.
